Every week we will present you the most funny and addictive web-based games.
This week this is Bloxorz.
Often we scour the Web to find engaging and compelling online Flash games to feature here, and you can also send your games to be published here by leaving links in comments or sending them to est.eugene@gmail.com.
Bloxorz is a simple idea for a puzzle game that is beautifully executed. The objective is to tumble a rectangular block through each stage and deposit it into the square hole at the end. Using a series of bridge-opening switches, teleporters, and block-splitting switches, solve the puzzle each stage presents to move on to the next of the game's 33 levels.
Use the arrow keys for control to tumble the block around the play field, but don't let it fall off the edges. The round switches can be just rolled over to trip, but the "X" switches require a little more weight, so you'll have to stand the block on end to trip them. The 3rd type, the "[ ]" switches, split the block in two, which can then be moved independently from one another. This introduces an interesting twist to the tactics you will need to employ to solve these later levels. To switch between block fragments, press [space].
Each level provides a password that allows you to resume a game by load the game from that point. It would be nice if the game just saved your progress along the way, but a password system is welcome in absense of an easier interface for accessing levels. You will find a complete list of passwords in the comments, thanks to reapaninja.
From Damien Clarke of DX Interactive, the same developer responsible for the exceptional JetSpeed, Silversphere, and Missile Game 3D games. Bloxorz is addictive, compelling, and contains everything we love in an engaging Flash puzzle game. Play Bloxorz.
