BloxorzRoll a rectangular block across a floating grid and drop it upright into the hole — 33 levels of spatial puzzle logic that get trickier fast.
Bloxorz
Bloxorz is a single-player puzzle game about a rectangular block and a very unforgiving hole. Each level gives you a floating grid of tiles, a block shaped like an upended domino, and one job: roll the block to the small square gap in the platform and drop it in standing upright. That constraint — upright, not flat — is the whole game. You can reach the hole ten different ways and still lose nine of them.
What makes it stick is that the 33 levels are each a distinct mechanical puzzle rather than a longer version of the previous one. Early on you are learning how the block tumbles. By the middle of the game, fragile tiles that crumble under the block’s upright weight have you treating every step as a routing problem. Switches that open or close bridges add sequencing on top of that. Late levels split the block into two separate pieces you control in turn, and reuniting them becomes a puzzle within the puzzle.
Controls
- Arrow keys — roll the block in that direction
- Spacebar — switch between the two pieces (split-block levels only)
- Touch / mobile — swipe in the direction you want the block to roll
The game issues a level code each time you finish a stage, so you can close the tab and return to any level without starting over from the beginning.
Tips
- Count your orientation before the final move. The hole only accepts the block standing upright. If you arrive lying flat, you fall past it. Think one move ahead of the hole, not just at it.
- Fragile tiles are darker or visibly cracked. The block rolls across them safely when flat but punches through when standing upright. Plan routes that avoid putting the block upright on fragile tiles — unless falling is the point.
- Switches come in two kinds. Soft switches activate the moment any part of the block touches them. Hard switches only trigger when the block stands fully upright on top of them. If a bridge is not opening, check which type the switch is.
- With split pieces, one can hold a bridge open for the other. Park one cube on a switch, then route the second through the newly opened path to the hole.
