Block Escape

Some sliding puzzles are about speed. This one is about order. Every board in Block Escape: Puzzle Jam already has a solution hidden in the sequence of your moves โ€” work out which block goes first and the rest tends to follow. Blocks travel one tile per slide along open corridors, and each one is looking for the exit that matches its color. Push the wrong block first and the corridor you needed is gone. Nothing is counting down while you think it over. Gates are the first thing that will catch you out. They flip open and shut as blocks pass through, so a route that works for the red block can seal itself before the blue one arrives. Bomb blocks apply a different kind of pressure: clear them before they go off, or watch a promising line disappear. Ice doors only give way to a block of the right color, and colorful corridors let a single hue through, so shade becomes part of the route rather than just the destination. Keys open the tiles standing in your way โ€” grab one early and you may close a path you still needed. Three power-ups cover three kinds of dead end. Freeze pins a block while you rearrange around it, hammer breaks a single barrier tile, and magnet pulls a block one step back toward you. They are there for the layouts that genuinely stump you. The Dragon's Treasure event puts up to a hundred players on the same seven-stage run: clear all seven without a failure and the whole group shares the reward. Around it sit hundreds of hand-built stages, global leaderboards, a daily bonus, automatic saving, and full offline play with optional ads.
