Sliding Block Puzzle: player questions
Can I rotate a block?
No. Each block keeps its original orientation throughout the puzzle.
Why will my selected block not move?
Its next square may be occupied, or the requested direction may not match its orientation.
Which block needs to escape?
The coral block is the target. Other blocks are movable obstacles that help create its route.
Do other blocks need to leave the board?
No. Only the target needs to reach its exit. The other blocks remain inside.
Should I always move an obstacle away immediately?
It can help to move another block first to create space. Sliding puzzles often require temporary detours.
Are generated fields solvable?
The generator scrambles a field from a solved target position using reversible legal moves. A route back exists.
Can I undo a whole sequence?
Undo steps backward one recorded move at a time. Restart restores the initial field.
How do I play on a phone?
Tap a block, then use the directional controls. You can also drag a selected block along its allowed axis.
What makes hard different?
Hard uses more blocking pieces, reducing available space. Puzzle difficulty still varies between generated layouts.
What counts as finishing?
The target reaches the rightmost two cells in its exit row. You do not need to drag it outside the screen.
