About

Hard Blocks

Features
Read full description

Roll the block. Stand it up. Drop it in the hole. Hard Blocks is a 3D logic puzzle about one stubborn block on a floating board. Every swipe tips it over an edge: standing, it falls onto its side; lying down, it rolls end over end. Find the route that lands it upright in the hole without sending it over the edge. 2000 LEVELS Start with a few easy rolls and work up to winding boards that take a hundred moves to cross. Levels are ordered from easy to hard, so the challenge grows at a steady pace. THREE BLOCK SIZES Blocks come 2, 3 and 4 tiles long. A longer block reaches across gaps, but it is much harder to turn in tight spaces. EVERY MOVE COUNTS On move-limited levels you get exactly as many moves as the shortest solution. One wasted roll and you start again. BEAT THE CLOCK Timed levels bring traps: pillars that slam down onto the tiles, bars that sweep across the board and balls that roll straight through. Wait for a gap, then go. SECRET PATHS Stand the block on a key tile and hidden ground appears, opening a new way to the goal. SEE IT FROM ABOVE A small overhead map sits in the corner. Tap it to swap views and plan your route from straight above, or hide it to keep the whole screen. ALSO • Swipe to roll, or use the arrow keys • Quick how-to-play guide on first launch • Optional ad for +5 seconds or +5 moves • No in-app purchases, supported by ads Simple to learn, hard to master. How far can you roll?
