I'm Will Bickel. I build minimalist puzzle games with AI — one deep mechanic at a time. BlockPlace is out now, with more on the way.
BlockPlace is out now on iOS — BlockHex is coming soon.
Every game from the studio is built around a single mechanic taken to its limit. Pick the one that matches your mood.
Place pieces on a 9×9 grid. Fill rows, columns, and 3×3 boxes to clear them. No timer, no pressure — just one more block.
Matching tops merge — stack 10 of a color to clear
Drop colored stacks onto a hexagonal board. Matching colors merge and cascade — stack ten to clear them in a burst.
We're not chasing trends or layering flashy features. Each release is a clean, complete take on a single mechanic.
Each game explores one mechanic fully. Master one, then try another.
Different moods, different games. Think ahead with BlockPlace, chase color cascades with BlockHex.
Same aesthetic, same values, totally different play. A world that grows one idea at a time.
Real code. Real design. Real addiction.
Will Bickel built BlockPlace and BlockHex with AI — human creativity plus AI, making games people actually want to play.
Three moves is all it takes to understand. A lifetime to perfect.
Drag a block onto the grid. No timer counts down — take all the time you need.
Spin pieces to fit. Fill a full row, column, or 3×3 box and it clears with a satisfying pop.
Clear on back-to-back placements to stack your combo multiplier and send your score soaring.
New mechanics. Same quality. Same addiction. Get an email the moment each one drops.
