Collect Blocks
Collect Blocks is a puzzle experience that puts your spatial reasoning to the test. Unlike basic match-three games, here you guide a cursor to group same-colored cubes, clearing them from a cluttered grid. The challenge lies in planning several moves ahead, as each decision affects what cascades into play. Early levels ease you in, but soon you'll face obstacles like locked cells and color-locked zones that demand clever sequencing. What sets this game apart is its pacing—no timers, just thoughtful turns. You can take your time to study the layout and experiment with different strategies. The minimalist visuals keep the focus on the puzzle itself, while the progressive difficulty ensures you always have something new to figure out. Whether you're killing a few minutes or settling in for a longer session, the game respects your intellect and rewards careful planning.

What is Collect Blocks
A puzzle game about clearing boards with clever color grouping. Plan your moves and watch the grid unfold.
How to Play
Select matching blocks that are adjacent to create a group of three or more. Clear all required colors within the move limit to advance.
Tips for Playing
- Prioritize clearing blocks near the bottom to create useful cascades.
- Look for groups of four or five blocks; they often trigger bonus effects.
- Keep locked blocks in mind and plan their removal early.
- Use the move counter as a guide, not a constraint—sometimes extra moves are worth it.
- When stuck, try a different starting point; symmetry can be misleading.

Completing the current level with at least one star unlocks the next one. Aim for three stars for a bonus.
Is there a penalty for using hints?
