Placing bricks

  • Choose a brick from the palette, then tap an empty stud on the grid.
  • Tap the top of a brick to stack; tap a side face to extend outward.
  • Use Stack ↑ in Actions to add a brick above the last one without tapping the canvas.

Support rule

  • New bricks need at least half their footprint resting on the ground or bricks directly below.
  • If your tap is unsupported, Snapy may place the brick at the nearest valid spot and show "Placed nearby — not enough support where you tapped".
  • Footer controls always affect one brick: the last one you placed while building, or the one you have selected in select mode.
  • Move, Turn, Delete, and Color work without entering select mode — they target your last placed brick.
  • Stack ↑ adds a new brick above that same target brick in either mode.

Select brick mode

  • Tap "Select Brick" on the canvas to stop placing new bricks when you tap the grid.
  • Tap any brick to select it. Tap empty space to select the nearest brick instead.
  • Move the selected brick with the footer pad or arrow keys; Q and E rotate it; Delete removes it.
  • Press Escape or Done to return to build mode. Footer controls always target your selected brick in select mode.

Quick build shortcuts

  • Q / E — rotate the last placed brick while building, or the selected brick in select mode.
  • Space — place the ghost preview at your cursor (build mode only).
  • Delete — remove the last placed brick while building, or the selected brick in select mode.
  • Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y — undo and redo. The Undo and Redo buttons in the footer work too.

Limits

  • Guest play: 16×16 grid at /play.
  • Free account: 24×24 grid at /brick-builder.
  • Subscribers: up to 32×32 grid.
  • Maximum stack height: 80 layers.

Saving

  • Play is free. Cloud save requires a subscription — see Pricing for details.
  • Use Build settings at the bottom to rename your build, toggle compact grid spacing, publish to the showcase, or reset the whole build.
  • Save at the top saves your bricks to the cloud. Update title in Build settings saves the name only.
  • Reset build keeps one starting red brick and can be undone with Ctrl+Z or the Undo button.
  • Deleting bricks one at a time can leave an empty grid; Reset returns you to the default starting brick instead.
