About

Latch Blocks

Features
Read full description

Latch Blocks is a clean, focused sliding-block puzzle built around one simple goal: free the glowing core and guide it to the marked exit. Move the surrounding blocks across the grid, open a path, and solve each layout in as few moves as you can. The rules are easy to understand, while later boards ask for more careful planning and a sharper eye for space. Work through 47 handcrafted levels across five difficulty tiers, replay solved boards to improve your result, or return for a new Daily Puzzle. Hints and Undo are available when you need a little help, and an optional optimum-move display lets you compare your solution with the most efficient route. Dark stone textures and warm orange highlights give every puzzle a distinctive volcanic look without getting in the way of the board
