About

Blockly

Read full description

Okay, so in this puzzle game, you've got to slide these colored blocks around and get them to their matching gates. Each level is like a mini brain-teaser where you don't have much room to move, so every step counts. The blocks can get in each other's way too, so you gotta think about what you do in what order. You beat a level when all the blocks are gone and the board is empty. Messed up? No biggie, just restart and try a new way. As you keep going, the levels change up and the puzzles get trickier, so you'll need to really think things through and pay attention.
