Welcome to the "Sliding Blocks" site!
"Sliding Blocks" is a simple logical game for all ages. The aim of the game is to score as much points as possible by grouping colored blocks in the central part of the game field. If 3 or more blocks of the same color are gathered together they "blow up". Full game rules you can read here. You can download this program (version 1.1.2.28) here. Minimal requirements for the game to run can be viewed here.

The
goal of the game is gaining as much points as you can before the field is filled with blocks and you aren't
able to make a move.
The
game field consists of two parts: the central zone and the peripheral part. The central zone is a square of
10x10 cells. When the game starts some colored initial blocks without marks are
placed in the central zone. Unoccupied cells remain black. The peripheral part of the field is presented by
three layers of blocks from every side of the central zone.
You may click on blocks from the first layer. It is the only kind of your activity. A clicked block may start moving across the central zone
until it meets another block on its way. (If the lane along which the block could
move contains no other blocks able to stop the clicked one, the latter just will
not start moving. There will be no action and you will hear a beep. You may try
to move another block.) When a block has been clicked and started to move, an arrow indicating the direction of
the movement appears on it. This arrow does not disappear after block
stopping and when the obstacle (another block) is removed, the block continues moving in the same direction (it does not depend from
the player's activity).
If
3 or more blocks of the same color are gathered together they "blow
up" and the player gains points.
The blocks from the peripheral parts adjacent to blocks
on the central zone don't take part in forming groups to be "blown up". When a clicked block has entered the central zone, its
neighbor block which was behind it (in the second layer) takes its place in the first
layer; the block from the third layer moves to the second layer and a new block
(that may be seen in the upper right part of the screen if the "show
next" option is on) appears in the third layer.
When
the central zone is emptied, the player gains 150, 300, 450, 600, 750 or 900 points according to the number
of colors (difficulty level), and a new set of initial blocks without arrows
appear in the center. The number of initial blocks exceeds the number of the
previous set by 1 randomly colored block.
The game continues while the player is able to make moves.
