Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition is a Casual/Entertainment/Puzzle game from Nick Lockwood, first launched in 16th April 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 522+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition Stand Out
Rainbow Blocks is a fun and challenging block-sliding game, similar to JT's Blocks or SameGame. Easy to learn, but hard to master.
The object of the game is to clear the board by removing groups of blocks of the same color.
The more blocks you clear in a single move, the higher your score and the further you can progress in the game.
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Addictive, actually. This is the only game we play, usually at night (sound turned off) before going upstairs. Relaxing; quiets our mind before sleep.
Very addictive game, very much a mirror of JT's Blocks but even better with the ability to undo a move. This is one of the best.
We like this game because of one of our favorite app, and we use to play it ourselves, a friend, or everyone who like this app. In case every one knows how to play this game by tap "pause" then "how to play". They are high scores in this app and that's why us, and/or a friend can play this app.
Very fun, addicting. Time flies when playing, watch out.
We're addicted to this game. Easy to play, hard to master.
A very interesting game.keeps us working at it.
Really addictive. We don't to stop playing it.
We enjoy this game!! We like that u can change the blocks to suit your mood!! Play everyday.
Good way to pass time or relax.
Can we please get the ad off the bottom of the screen? Top is fine but bottom is just IN THE WAY! Have found other games we like that it is not so easy to mistakenly hit the ad. Thanks.
We personally love this game. It's a great way to wind down or pass the time. It's fun for the whole family, our 2 and 4 year olds love it too.
It will have you going for hours.
We can't stop playing this game! It has become addicting but it's like therapy for us.
Great game. We never get bored. Just be careful, it can be addictive.
We love this game! It is just like JT's Blocks on yahoo.
For some strange reason this game is both addicting and relaxing even though after two months we are still on "easy.".
Fun game, very addictive. However, lately it's been malfunctioning on our iPad – while the score increases, the level and target do not change on the screen altho they're doing so in the background. When options have run out, the board does not clear so you can't play the next level unless you exit and come back, and you can't access the menu. Only way to fix it is to power down and restart the device. Big PITA.
This game is addicting! Love it.
Real enjoy this game. We can' t put it down.
Warning… Highly addictive. Different levels. Love it.
It's fun like JTs blocks but this one has an advertisement at the bottom extremely close that you can't help but touch it and takes you to play store leaving the game sooo annoying.
Fun game. Nice distraction from a few minutes to an hour. However, sometimes while entering your high score, the app crashes. Disappointing after you played a high scoring game. All that work for nothing.
Love it. We see the board in our sleep.
We spend hours with this game. It's so addictive.
Great game and very addicting …use to play on computer till they took it off free games..so glad we can play it on our phone.
Best game ever. We play it all the time.
We agree with the previous review, that says that it would be nice to actually win the game from time to time. Other than that great game.
This is a nice game, but we have been playing this for quite a while and it is getting old that one cannot win the game. At the end of playing many rounds, it pops up with a note letting us know we didn't get enough points to win and says, "Better Luck Next Time". Well, next time has never come. We think we only won this game once – the very first time we played it. We don't usually care about winning, however, it would be nice to win this every once in a while. Other than that, it's a decent app.
We love this game! Be careful, it's so addicting.
We enjoy playing the game. We have no issues with it since the last update.
We'd say it's pretty good besides the fact that it's not that sensitive to the tapping. So when we tap on groups of blocks we have to click on it a few times which can be annoying. Also we would agree that it is similar to JT'S blocks.
We downloaded this on our first iPhone and have been playing it for years! Currently playing on iPhone 16. Relaxing but very challenging on the hard level. Love the fun seasonal graphics. Very easy to learn. Has never glitched in all this time.
It doesnt matter if we are sitting in an airport, at home during work, or sitting in our car, we love to play this game.
Love playing this simple game, but it locks up all the time. Took pic of locked up page to submit but could not find a submission location. Support does not load.
The scoring is inconsistent. Sometimes the game wont award your bonus points for percentage of the board cleared. This causes you to loose the game. Ex: being 100 away from the goal score with 100% of the board cleared and we dont get the bonus causes us to loose the game. Sometimes it does this sometimes it doesnt.
