Roll the block to make it fall through the square hole

Bloxorz is a free puzzle game that consists of rolling a block to make it fall through a square hole. Just like most of the greatest puzzle games, Bloxorz has a simple concept and yet proves to be very challenging.

Setting: Bloxorz is the story of a block who’s in a desperate search of a place to fit in. Deep down, this game truly is a metaphor for the human condition. Or maybe not.

Gameplay: The objective of the game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each level. The original idea behind the game is that you move the block only by rolling it, using the keyboard arrow keys. You’ll have to think in 3 dimensions to figure out how to roll the block to advance in tight areas without falling off the edges.

Most stages contain switches that add bridges to the level when activated. But some of the switches actually remove a part of the level: you’ll sometimes have to carefully avoid a switch in order to finish a stage, and this is easier said than done. Other elements include fragile orange tiles that fall if your block stands vertically on them, and teleporters that divide your block in two distinct cubes.

Using all these elements, the levels can be quite difficult, so expect to get stuck on at least some of them. You may then be tempted to look for a solution to a specific level, even though you know you shouldn’t… Well, below are the passcodes and solutions for the 33 levels of Bloxorz. But don’t spoil the game, consider these solutions only as a last resort!

:: Solutions

Don’t look at the solutions unless you’re really stuck on a level and it’s getting too frustrating.

The 11th stage, most people (me included) get stuck for a while on that one

Personal opinion: The concept is original, the design is elegant, and the levels are quite clever. The only bad thing about Bloxorz is that, like many other web games, your progress is not automatically saved: you have to remember to write down the passcode of your current level to be able to resume the game later. That tiny con aside, Bloxorz is simply one of the top puzzle games on the web.
