A neon color-block puzzle with chain-lightning Surges and four modes. Out now on the App Store.
Available on iPhone and iPad.
About
Voltline is a neon block puzzle built on a familiar loop: drag pieces onto an 8x8 grid and fill a full row or column to clear it. Its twist is the Surge. Clear a line where every block is the same color and a chain of lightning discharges across the board, detonating every same-color block it touches.
Choose untimed play or the timed Blitz challenge. There are no ads; optional tips support the developer and unlock nothing.
How to play
- Drag pieces from the three-piece tray onto the 8x8 board. Pieces do not rotate. Fill a row or column to clear it, and use the Hold slot to save an awkward piece.
- A mixed-color line clears normally. A line of one color triggers a Surge through connected same-color neighbors. Clearing the whole board triggers a BLACKOUT.
- Balance free board space against a larger color cluster. An oversized cluster can leave no legal placement even while it sets up a bigger Surge.
Modes and progression
Endless is the untimed high-score mode. Daily Surge supplies a seeded daily puzzle. Zen has no game-over and includes undo. Blitz starts with 90 seconds and adds time for clears. Earn Volts for color palettes, including a colorblind-friendly set; depth increases the available colors from three toward five.

Common questions
Is every mode untimed?
No. Endless offers untimed play, while Blitz is a timed 90-second challenge with extra time for clears.
What makes a Surge happen?
Complete a row or column in a single color. The discharge follows connected blocks of that color rather than every block on the board.
Can I rotate a piece or save it for later?
Pieces cannot rotate. The Hold slot lets you bank a piece for a later placement.
