What Makes Jardinains! Stand Out
One of the world's most beloved brick-breaking games is back! The all-new Jardinains! takes players on a rollicking journey through countless unique and exciting levels. Break bricks, dodge flowerpots, and keep endless waves of mischievous 'nains from ruining your day!
Jardinains! is a novel take on the classic brick-breaker genre, where players use their ball and paddle to break bricks. Players earn points and useful powerups by breaking bricks and bouncing 'nains. 'Nains are cute little gnomes that live among and inside the bricks. They're none too happy about the player's efforts to clear out their bricks, and they'll try to stop the player with everything they've got–flowerpots, anchors, baseballs, smartphones, fancy cakes, and anything else they can get their hands on! Use the ball to knock 'nains off their bricks and bounce them with the paddle to earn extra points and powerups.
Choose to complete challenges in an assortment of hand-crafted level packs, or try Endless Mode to play a limitless stream of procedurally-generated levels.
Highly customizable playstyle options and accessibility settings make Jardinains! a fun game for everyone, whether your style is relaxed, intense, or somewhere in-between!
Come play today! The 'nains are waiting!
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Love this game!! It is relaxing and fun and we love how you can change the ball and paddle size.
We had the old version on our old laptop and loved it so much. So glad we found this game for our iPad. Our favorite game.
This is a marvelously clever and addictive game which we discovered years – maybe decades – ago and played until it could no longer be updated to our computer. Now its back, to our delight, BUT. It is not available on a Mac computer, only on our iPads & phone. Its doable on a phone (albeit a 14ProMax) but absolutely impossible on a tablet because, without a screensaver the screen/finger interface gets sticky. Furthermore the entire game screen slides to the side, interrupting and closing the game and switching the screen to a start again (where you left off) page. This isnt a problem if the ball is UPGOING, but its sudden death if its anywhere near the paddle. Second, periodically the game asks if you Want More Energy and there seems to be no way to get rid of the page that urges you to Buy Now for $9.99. The NO button is completely useless. Theres a timer, but even after it runs out, the ad reappears. The developers need to make this game available on desktop/laptop computers (as it was originally) and, Please, by all means OFFER your in-app purchase, but dont let it destroy the game! Otherwise five stars.
We used to love this game years ago on our pc and was delighted to see that an updated version was released. Theres nothing wrong with the overall game performance on both our iPad Pro and iPhone. But theres no sound on the iPad version (fully updated). Theres no way to contact support on the developers website except via discord, twitter or paetreon-none of which Ill ever use. So we guess Ill have to play without sound and hope a future update fixes it.
We love the nains. We love dodging the junk they throw, we love bouncing them to find out what the turn into, and we love their voices. The game we have played on our laptop for years is available on our mobiles. This is our go to for stress relief. We paid for the unlimited lives on mobile because we are familiar with the company. Heres the story. We paid for the full desktop version 15 years ago when it was about $7. Fast forward 14 years, 3 computers later. We want the full version on the current lap top. We tried to pay for it, but instead of just accepting our less than 2cups of designer coffees worth of cash- we get a message that says this email address has already paid. Here is your code. 14 years. That is a loyalty builder.
This is exactly the type of engaging and fun game we wish there was more of on the App Store! Very well put together and easy to get started (and nearly impossible to master!). We would love to share this with our kids on the big screen if Apple TV and Game Controller support is added in a future update! Id pay good money too.
Hi we play this with our cousin and she loves it so much. We also just love how the objects coming from above are different and interesting great job.
