Magnetic Block Puzzle is quick to pick up but hard to put down. The game offers 110 unique puzzles from very easy to very difficult to tease, challenge and delight you! On each puzzle your task is to join the all the blocks of each colour by tilting the puzzle to move the blocks. The blocks are special magnets that only stick to other blocks of the same colour. The blocks may be joined in any fashion - many puzzles have more than one solution. When the puzzle is tilted, all blocks that are not prevented from moving by other blocks or by walls slide as far as they can in the direction of the tilt. Adjacent magnetic blocks of the same colour stick together, including those on either side of a wall. White, transparent blocks are not magnetic they do not need to be joined. They often get in the way, but are vital in helping solve some puzzles! All puzzles are available and unlocked from the start - no purchases are required. Visit http://kissthemachine.com/magnetic-hints for hints to solve some of the more tricky puzzles! Thanks to Andrea Gilbert from www.clickmazes.com for permission to include the puzzles "Vertical shuffle" and "Through the eye" in this game.
