Pixel Slide Puzzle is a calm, brain-teasing grid puzzle with a fresh twist: you don’t drag pieces — you slide them. Tap a target cell and a tile glides in from the board edge, stopping only when it hits a fixed block or another tile. Slide tiles back out when the path is clear. Cover every target to win — but the route is rarely obvious. What makes it special • Simple rules, deep puzzles — a short tutorial teaches the basics; later levels demand real planning • Think in moves, not taps — place temporary “helper” tiles, then remove them to reach tricky spots • Sticky cells — some targets trap their tile forever; choose your order carefully • Medals & records — earn gold, silver, or bronze by how close you get to the optimal solution • Collection mode — replay passed levels and push for better scores • Game Center leaderboards — compare your total medal score with players worldwide • Clean pixel look — focused visuals, undo support, and satisfying slide animations Perfect for puzzle fans who enjoy Sokoban-style logic without the push-every-box grind. One more level — just one more try for gold.
