About

Block'd

Read full description

Block'd is a polished sliding-block puzzle built for calm, satisfying play. Move coloured blocks around the board, open a route for the red block, and guide it onto the green target. Easy to learn — much harder to perfect. Inspired by classic Klotski-style puzzles, Block'd strips away the clutter and focuses on what matters: clever layouts, smooth controls, and that "one more try" feeling. HOW IT WORKS • Slide blocks until they hit something — flick for a full slide, or drag slowly to stop exactly where you want • Blue blocks move horizontally, yellow blocks move vertically, orange and purple blocks move in any direction • Guide the red block onto the green target to complete each puzzle • Use Undo, Restart, and Hint when you need a nudge • A full illustrated How to Play guide covers every block and board feature 15 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Work through a curated set of puzzles from gentle warm-ups to expert challenges. Each level is designed to feel fresh — not a reskin of the last one. Earn up to 3 stars by solving efficiently and track your best moves and times. THE FRONTIER PACK — 15 EXPERT LEVELS One purchase unlocks our hardest puzzles yet (levels 16–30), built around six brand-new mechanics: • Walls that break the board into new shapes • Ice cells where blocks skid until they hit something • Portals that teleport small blocks across the board • Frozen blocks that thaw only when the red block reaches them • One-way blocks that slide in a single direction • Linked pairs that always move together Every level is verified solvable — and every one will make you think. ZEN MODE Endless, freshly generated puzzles for when you just want to unwind. Every board is unique, always solvable, and mixes in the new mechanics. No stars, no pressure — just the next puzzle. DAILY CHALLENGE A new puzzle every day, shared worldwide at midnight UTC. Play as many times as you like and keep improving your best score. BUILT FOR COMFORTABLE PLAY • Interactive tutorial for first-time players • Optional Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Optional timer, sound effects, and haptic feedback • High contrast and colour-blind friendly palettes • Optimised for iPhone and iPad No accounts.
