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.

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.
