Description

Sometimes a quick puzzle is just what the doctor ordered. Blocked is a puzzle game you can pick up and play immediately. Let the good times roll with 100 levels of touch and drag action. Slide blocks around the playing field; sometimes a block is an obstacle, but sometimes it's your only hope for escape. Satisfaction is at your fingertips with Blocked.

Beware, Blocked is addictive, so it's the perfect game to return to again and again. Blocked conveniently keeps track of all the levels you've conquered. When you have to catch your breath it's easy to leave a puzzle and return with everything exactly the way you left it.

Your objective is to slide the blue block off the board, pushing blocks back and forth as you inch towards the goal. Clearing the path to freedom may require all your wits, and some planning! Start play on easy mode, then move up to medium and hard. Just when you think you possess the biggest Blocked brain the heat gets cranked up; because blocked doesn't stop at hard, you can also play in "harder" mode. And stake your claim as king of the castle in "hardest" mode!

My acknowledgements and gratitude to Mr. Nob Yoshigahara for designing such a wonderful puzzle.

Excellent App
     

The design and play of this is wonderful. Buy it now, it's a buck well spent.

I have some quick suggestions: The number of moves you took and minimum possible moves to solve the puzzle would be a welcome addition. How about a timed mode? You could even have weekly and daily low scores.

It might be neat to be able to push blocks with other blocks.

Reset would be more fun if it reverse animated every move you made, maybe easing in the speed of the moves (which would be crazy quick) and easeing out for the last few pieces. If the number of moves was over some huge number you could just revert to the current method.

I love the gameplay though. Some people might like themes (dark wood blocks or cars) but I really like your motif!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
     

I have tried a lot of games on my iPhone, and have discarded most of them. This one is a keeper! The concept is engaging, the design and background clever, and the graphics are understated but playful. This game embodies design at it's best!

Fun
     

I've had this game for a few days and I'm already at level 62. This is a great fun game.
