About this app

This is the Android version of Freebloks 3D, an implementation of the famous board game Blokus. Try to place as many tiles on the board as possible, keeping in mind only two simple rules: your tiles must touch a corner of one of your previously placed tiles, but they must not share an edge. Can you play more tiles than your opponents?

RULES Each player has 21 Tetris-like tiles: 12 tiles with 5 squares, 5 tiles with 4 squares, 2 tiles with 3 squares, 1 tile with 2 squares and 1 tile with 1 square. Players take turns in placing one tile onto the 20x20 board. The first tile for each player has to be placed in their corner of the board. Each following tile has to touch a corner of one of your previous tiles, but it must never share an edge. It may share edges with the opponents' tiles though. If a player has no more possible move, they have to pass. The game is over when no player can place a tile. For each player, the squares of all their tiles on the board are added up. The player with the most points wins.

HOW TO PLAY - Swipe the list of available tiles with your finger. - Select and drag a tile onto the board. - Rotate or flip the tile using the 4 handles. - Place the tile in the desired position. The tile will appear green if the position is valid, and red otherwise. Possible corners are highlighted on the board for convenience. - Tap the tile in a valid position to place it. - You can rotate the board at any time to see the opponents' tiles.

Quit the app at any time, your current game will be saved and restored on next start.

FEATURES - Supports 2-player modes, with 2 colors (Original, Blokus Duo and Blokus Junior), 4 colors (2 each), - Customizable board sizes other than 20x20, - Play against the computer or humans on the same device, - Play online against your friends, - Play with friends via Bluetooth, - Hint and undo options, - Looks great on tablets, too!

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be de.saschahlusiak.freebloks is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.8.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Freebloks first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Freebloks, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
