North SultanSultan Blast

Erlik's last winter, the palace's treasures.

In a single night Erlik Khan sent his last winter to the palace: the gates froze, stones fell from the domes, and the most beloved things were bound in black chains. You are the palace's new steward. Bring treasures of the same colour together and blast them; melt the ice, clear the rubble, break the chains. In every level you help a friend; in every chapter you save a hall.

The North Sultan account is for adults 18+. Sultan Blast neither spends nor awards chips; there are no ads and no purchases. The game offers no real-money gambling.

Why North Sultan: Sultan Blast?

The blast puzzle you love; but in an Ottoman palace, inside a story, and with nothing that makes you wait or gets in your way.

Tap and blast

Tap two or more matching treasures that touch and they blast. One finger, one tap; the rest is gravity and a little luck.

Every level is a scene

Fatma Nine's tulip bed, Kahveci Mustafa's stove, Sina Hoca's hourglasses: in every level a friend asks for your help.

No ads, no lives

No ads, no life counter, no energy timer and no random reward boxes. Lose a level and try again at once, as often as you like.

A smart Kılıç

The sword doesn't flip a coin: it turns by itself to the row or column that does more for your goals.

Honest levels

The same opening board on every attempt; only the new drops change. Hard levels are labelled up front, and the story is never locked behind money or waiting.

Every treasure has its shape

Tulip, tile, emerald, crescent, violet and pomegranate differ in shape as well as colour, so colour-blind players read the board easily.

Treasures and powers

The palace's treasures are its life. When treasures of one colour come together, a light is born that breaks Erlik's spell; a big gathering is born as a power.

  • Laleruby tulip
  • ÇiniIznik tile
  • Zümrütemerald
  • Hilalgold crescent
  • Menekşeamethyst violet
  • Narpomegranate

  • Kılıç

    Blast 5–6 treasures at once. Doğan Ağa's never-drawn sword cuts through a whole row or column.

    It picks its direction by your goals.

  • Gülle

    Blast 7–8 treasures at once. Mehmet Paşa's cannonball clears the 3×3 around it.

    Two cannonballs side by side: 5×5.

  • Tuğra

    Blast 9 or more treasures at once. The Sultan's seal calls every treasure of one colour.

    Tuğra with Tuğra: the whole board.

Powers that touch combine: two swords cut a cross, cannonball and sword open three rows and three columns, and a Tuğra turns every treasure of a colour into that power and fires them all.

Erlik's winter

Erlik's weapon is loneliness: he cuts the palace apart with ice, rubble and chains. Every chapter brings a new obstacle, and a friend explains it to you.

Black Ice

The ice of loneliness covers the floor of a cell. Blast the treasure on it or hit it with a power to melt it.

Rubble

Stones torn from the domes block the doors. Blasts next to them crack them; some are three layers thick.

Erlik's Chains

A chained treasure can't be tapped and doesn't fall. A blast next to it breaks the chain.

Iznik Vases

Rıza Bey's vases filled with ice. A blast next to one breaks it, and the scent of spring spills out.

Star Shards

The Star Stone in the courtyard cracked. Bring its shards down to the bottom of the board, to the hearth, where they shine again.

Count your moves

Every level shows its goals and moves up front. Finish the goals before the moves run out; the moves you have left blast in celebration.

Erlik's Last Winter

Sultan Blast continues the studio's shared legend, The Legend of the Star Stone. Erlik Khan never forgot the night he was beaten at the table; he waited seven winters under the earth and sent his last one to the palace. To defeat Erlik is not to destroy him, but to invite him to the table.

  1. The Door That Never Closes

    For the first time the palace gate is frozen shut. Open it again with Sultan Aybars, Doğan Ağa and Sina Hoca; the first sword, cannonball and seal.

  2. Under the Walnut Tree

    The walnut tree in the courtyard froze and Fatma Nine can't lay her table. Bring the star shards down to the hearth.

  3. The First Kahvehane

    Kahveci Mustafa's stove is about to go out; the tea stove and the tile racks are in chains.

  4. The Paper Pavilion

    In Nilüfer Sultan's pavilion of paper lanterns the vases are full of ice.

  5. From the Chess Pavilion to the Dome

    Stopped hourglasses, the backgammon room, the Privy Garden, the Iznik hall and the great dome: every hall has its trouble, every friend a request.

  6. Erlik's Table

    The last level, under the earth. Who was the empty chair that Fatma Nine sets at every table meant for?

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay to play?

No. The first version of North Sultan: Sultan Blast has no purchases at all; every level and the whole story are free. Anything added later will have fixed contents shown up front; no random rewards, no lives for sale, and no payment that locks the story.

Are there lives or energy?

No. If you lose a level you can try again at once, as often as you like. No waiting and no watching ads.

Can I play offline?

Yes. Levels are played on your device and your progress is stored there. If you delete the app, your level progress is deleted with it.

Are chips won or lost in Sultan Blast?

No. Sultan Blast levels neither spend nor award chips; your shared North Sultan chip balance is not affected by this game.

How do I play?

Tap two or more matching treasures that touch and they blast. A group of 5–6 makes a Kılıç (sword), 7–8 a Gülle (cannonball), 9 or more a Tuğra (seal). Finish the goals before the moves run out. Details: Sultan Blast Guide.

How many levels are there?

The story is being written as 10 chapters and 100 levels; each chapter is set in one hall of the palace. As levels get harder, new obstacles and more colours arrive; hard levels are labelled up front.
