Owl Block is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. It leans on block & tetris-like, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Owl Block
Owl Block is a free online platform game that challenges you to use your agility and speed to overcome obstacles and reach the finish line. With over 100 levels, there is plenty of game play to keep you engaged.
How to play Owl Block
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls

| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
