Roll the block. Land it upright. Simple to grasp, hard to master. Block Roll is a minimalist 3D puzzle about a single rectangular block tumbling across floating tile islands. Tip it end over end, plan your path, and land it standing perfectly upright on the goal. Every move counts — and the fewest moves earns all three stars. Wrapped in a calm world of pastel skies and warm stone, Block Roll is built to be relaxing and quietly addictive. No timers. No pressure. Just you, the block, and the next clever solution. Three worlds, each teaching a new twist: • Fundamentals — learn to read the block and the board as puzzles climb from gentle to genuinely tricky. • Fragile tiles — crumble the moment the block stands on them, so plan how you land. • Switches & bridges — step on a switch to open a path, then find the route that only opens once you do. Features • Handcrafted puzzles, each with a single elegant solution • Three-star scoring that rewards the optimal path • Smooth swipe or tap controls, tuned for one hand • Satisfying haptic feedback on every roll (toggle it off anytime) • Stuck? Optional hints show your next move — no ads unless you want one • Plays fully offline, with your progress saved automatically Beautifully simple. Deceptively deep. Roll your way to the goal.
