Bloxorz

Bloxorz is a mind-bending Flash puzzle game that challenges your spatial reasoning like never before. Guide a heavy rectangular block through floating platforms and into the final hole of each level — but don’t let it fall off the edge! With 33 increasingly complex stages, clever switches, and tricky mechanics, this minimalist puzzle classic keeps you hooked from the first move to the final drop. Simple controls meet deep logic in this iconic browser-based brain teaser.

How to play Bloxorz

Bloxorz is all about balance, precision, and brainpower. The goal is to maneuver a 2×1 rectangular block through suspended platforms and drop it neatly into a square hole. While the concept is simple, the mechanics become increasingly complex as you advance.

Basic Controls

Use the arrow keys to roll your block:

Up/Down/Left/Right to roll the block in the corresponding direction.

Plan your movements — the block rolls differently depending on its current orientation (standing or lying flat).

Switches and Tile Mechanics

Soft (Circle) Switches: Activate when touched from any position.

Hard (X) Switches: Require the block to land upright to activate.

Split (Parentheses) Switches: Split your block into two smaller ones and teleport them to different positions.

Orange Tiles: Fragile surfaces that break if the block stands vertically on them — pass only while lying flat!

These mechanics are critical to solving many puzzles — you’ll need to trigger bridges, deactivate gates, or control which section of the block you move.

Using Passcodes

Each level provides a passcode in the top-right corner. Jot it down or take a screenshot to resume progress later — essential for revisiting tricky stages.

Device Support

Desktop: Best played with a keyboard using arrow keys.

Controller: Connect a gamepad for a smoother, tactile experience.

Mobile: Touch controls work with virtual buttons, but precision is easier with a physical controller or keyboard.

FAQ

How many levels are in Bloxorz?

There are 33 levels in total, each introducing new mechanics and increasing difficulty.

Can I save my progress?

Yes! Use the level passcode shown on each stage to return where you left off.

What do the different switches do?

Circle: activates when touched.

X: needs upright position.

Parentheses: splits and teleports your block.

What happens when the block falls off?

You restart the level from the beginning. No lives — just pure trial and error!

Can the small blocks trigger all switches?

No. The small blocks (after splitting) can only activate circle switches, not the heavier X switches.

Yes! It’s preserved through Flash emulation on platforms like PEXY.IO, so you can enjoy it instantly without installation.
