ONI Games · Published September 25, 2026

Loved Block Blast? These are the block puzzle games on Android to play next, what each one does differently, and which ones play offline.

Block Blast! by HungryStudio is one of the biggest puzzle games on Android, with more than a billion downloads and 4.8 stars on Google Play. Place blocks, clear lines, chain combos. If you have played it for a while and want something that feels familiar but new, these are the block puzzles worth trying next.

Disclosure: we make Block Brain, one of the games below. Every other fact here comes from the games' Google Play pages in September 2026.

What to look for in a Block Blast alternative

The same core loop: drag pieces onto a grid, fill rows or columns, clear them for points
Something new on top: a daily challenge, a different grid, goals, or a reason to come back tomorrow
Offline play, so you can play on a plane or the subway
Ads you can live with: every big block puzzle on Google Play is marked "Contains ads", so the difference is how and when they show

1. Block Brain: Block Puzzle Game (our game)

Block Brain keeps the calm block puzzle you know and adds a small purple friend: every game gives your Brain XP, and it grows through 10 worlds and 50 stages, from a tiny Sprout to a golden Mastermind. There are four ways to play. Classic has no timer. The Daily Puzzle gives every player the same board and pieces each day. Brain Express puts you on a train where each wagon has a score target. Adventure has levels with goals. Weekly leagues put you in a group of 30 players. It plays offline and is translated into 14 languages. Free, with ads and optional in-app purchases.

2. Blockudoku

Blockudoku by Easybrain mixes the block puzzle with sudoku: besides rows and columns you also clear 3x3 squares, which changes how you plan every move. 4.6 stars and more than 100 million downloads. Free, with ads and in-app purchases.

3. Woodoku

Woodoku by Tripledot has the same sudoku-style grid in a calm wooden look, with soft sounds and daily challenges. A good pick if Block Blast feels too loud. 4.2 stars and more than 100 million downloads. Free, with ads and in-app purchases.

4. 1010! Block Puzzle Game

One of the originals of the genre, by Gram Games: a bigger grid, simple rules and nothing in the way. If you like Block Blast for how pure it is, 1010! is where that style comes from. 4.1 stars and more than 10 million downloads. Free, with ads and in-app purchases.

5. Block Blast! itself, played differently

If you are not ready to leave, set yourself a new goal: play only for the best combo instead of the highest score, or try to clear the whole board. Sometimes that is all a favorite game needs.

Is there a game like Block Blast without ads?

Not among the big ones. Block Blast, Blockudoku, Woodoku, 1010! and Block Brain are all marked "Contains ads" on Google Play. What differs is how the ads appear, so try a few rounds of each and keep the one that interrupts you least.

Which block puzzle games work offline?

Block Brain plays offline, so you can play it without Wi-Fi or mobile data. For other games, check the store listing or simply try it in airplane mode.
