About Push the block
The goal is to push the blocks into their designated craters using the different machines, but in this tricky puzzle game, nothing is as simple as it seems. Even though the game starts off simple, the more levels you complete, the more complex the game gets.
How to play Push the block
There is very little to learn before your first run. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. 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. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
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.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
