Buddy of mine passed it on. Said he played it all day.

It’ll drive you nuts.

Mods, if this is illegal, please kill this thread.

Oy. Wrong forum. Having a hard time seeing. Honest.

My meds are playing havoc with my vision.

Anyway, if it’s a legal thread please put it in the Game forum.

If it ain’t no need for a blindfold. Just me in front of the firing squad.  
Wouldn’t see 'em.

'Tis a great game. It has actually been mentioned a few times in “favourite Flash games” threads.

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned the ingenious and amusing [Blocks With Letters On](http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/10/blocks_with_letters_on.php), though. I played that game non-stop from start to finish the weekend I found it. Great game.

Hang on, are you just trying to get people to visit that site? :smack:  
Surely Googling Bloxorz would be simpler?

Thanks for the new game tip!

Got a Bloxorz question for you…

Game says to Bookmark and save where you stop for now.

I did so and the damned game seems to appear beneath my Gmail window, sound running but inaccessible? Had to delete the bookmark.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally leave it open in another browser tab?

I can’t get past level 10 on Blocks with Letter On. The only way to get the I out is to use the M. The only way to get the M is to use the K. But then the still can’t get in front of the M.

Remmber that you can turn green blocks back on.

I love this. I’m at level 59. The animations started getting weird somewhere in the 20s.

There are some really clever touches. I like the misdirection he uses on level 28, following on from level 27. The last level made me smile too.

Hmm, found a bug on level 4.

Yeah, but you can make two possible words from the available letters, and only one of them is right.

“Rood” is fairly obscure, so perhaps you mean “odor”? I’m pretty sure the author of this game is from Britain, where it is usually spelt “odour”. But yeah, I suppose the door/odor ambiguity is unfortunate.

How the heck do you do 32?

Bloxorz level 32 is tricky. Here’s how I did it:

Use far right area to allow access to foreground 3x3 area  
Use near 3x3 area to get block sideways on the central area where you started  
Press furthest X  
Use near 3x3 to get block back to original orientation on starting area  
Use far right area then far end of starting area to reposition, then press middle X  
Undo recent repositioning  
Should now be straightforward to press nearest X  
Should then already be in correct orientation to go straight to furthest X and press it again  
Use near 3x3 area to get block back to original orientation on central starting area  
Use far right area then central area to adjust, proceed to exit
