Put your maths and puzzle skills to the test in X2 Blocks, a challenging game where you merge blocks of the same value to combine them and get the biggest possible number. Here are some tips to help you get started with the game or break through to a new high score.

It’s best to place blocks evenly across the board, while paying attention to the next one in line. This will help you to plan ahead, merge more blocks at once and get to a higher block value in one turn.

Where you place your blocks will affect how they can combine. It’s a good idea to put higher number blocks towards the top of the board and lower number blocks near the bottom. This gives you more room to merge the lower numbers and work them towards the top.

The Hammer and Swap power-ups are handy tools when you’re in a bind: use the Hammer to eliminate a block that’s in the way and the Swap to switch up the position of two blocks. These power-ups can be purchased for Diamonds, which you earn as you complete the levels.

Remember to claim a reward of daily Diamonds from the game’s home screen: these can go towards buying useful power-ups. If you claim the daily reward for four consecutive days you can get up to 300 Diamonds, so be sure to make the most of this opportunity.
