The Pitch
QUARC reimagines the classic falling block puzzle with one disarming twist: the pieces are curved. Every shape is built from concave and convex arcs — perfect circles, four-pointed stars, and everything between — and they nestle into one another like tiles in a mosaic. Match the curves to seal a row and clear it; misjudge the fit and a gap slips through. Beneath the minimalist surface is a tense game of geometry and timing, with multiple modes, swappable color themes, and Game Center leaderboards to climb. Free to play, with a single optional unlock for more modes and themes — no ads, no subscriptions, no loot boxes.

About the Developer
Luke Bradford is an independent iOS developer with a decade-plus body of small, design-led apps built around geometry and restraint. The same sensibility runs through all of them — minimal interfaces, considered color, and a love of getting a single idea exactly right. You can see it in Symmetry Lab, a studio for symmetrical pattern art, and Textile, a quiet, distraction-free notes app. QUARC continues that line: one elegant mechanic, executed with care — free to play, with no ads and no subscriptions.
Actively developed. Recent updates added slow-motion for perfect streaks, a next-piece preview, and a ghost piece that shows where the falling piece will land — and QUARC 2.0 (coming soon) introduces bombs for clearing unwanted pieces.
Luke has also written about the design thinking behind the game — including how QUARC generates a fresh daily challenge board on every device, with no server, from a single date-seed: How QUARC creates infinite challenge mode boards →
