About Unblock That

The sliding block classic, competently done. A red block has to leave the board and everything else is in its way; blocks travel only along their own axis, so this is an ordering problem rather than a spatial one. Four difficulty tiers, and a move counter watching you throughout.

How to play

  • Slide the other blocks aside so the red one can reach the exit.
  • Each block moves only along its own length, never sideways.
  • Solve using as few moves as possible, since the count is what the game grades.
  • Difficulty runs from beginner to expert and sets how tangled the starting position is.

Tips

  • Work backwards from the exit. Ask which block is immediately blocking the red one, then what is blocking that, and the sequence usually falls out by itself.
  • Move counts improve by cutting wasted shuffling, not by finding a cleverer idea. Once you can solve a board at all, replay it and remove the moves that changed nothing.
