Move the shapes so that all the blocks of the same color are touching. A BEVY OF UNIQUE BLOCK TYPES - Locked blocks are bolted to the floor. - Entangled blocks are bound by quantum forces. - Sleeping blocks won’t budge until you wake them up. - Sticky blocks glom onto everything. - Caterpillar blocks are linked, slithering along as one. - Hypno blocks make other blocks go to sleep. - Flip blocks are multicolored and roll around. MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CHALLENGE You can take the easy road and simply connect all like-colored blocks.
