More about this game
Your goal is to restore an ancient temple by pushing heavy stones onto glowing runes. In each chamber, you must maneuver your character around a grid to position every crate correctly. The difficulty increases as the 50 chambers add more stones, narrow passages, and complex wall layouts that limit your movement options. You must plan ahead because stones can only be pushed, never pulled. Once all runes are covered simultaneously, the exit door opens. A run ends when you step through the open door, earning you up to three stars based on your efficiency and unlocking a unique relic.
Tips
- You can undo your last moves by pressing Z or the undo button; the game remembers up to 100 previous states, so you can safely experiment with different paths.
- Earning 3 stars requires finishing under a specific move and push limit. For example, the base limit scales up by 5 moves and 2 pushes for each of the 5 temple regions you reach.
- Never push a stone into a bare corner or against another stone if you cannot walk around it, as you cannot pull stones backward.
Questions
How many levels are in Push Block?
There are 50 puzzle chambers divided across 5 regions, such as the Sunlit Courts and Verdant Cloister. Each level grants a unique relic upon completion.
What happens if I make a mistake or get stuck?
You can use the undo button or press Z to reverse your recent moves step-by-step. If the puzzle is completely blocked, press the restart button or R to reset the entire chamber to its initial state.
How does the star rating system work?
You earn between one and three stars when you step through the exit door. To get three stars, you must complete the chamber using the most efficient route, minimizing both your total steps and the number of times you push a crate.
