Bloxorz - Today's Time Waster

by Jason Clarke Jun 26th 2007

Bloxorz is a game with a silly name, but great gameplay. While there are millions of puzzle games out there, few come close to matching the fun and challenge of Tetris. Though Bloxorz does.

Now, to be perfectly clear, Bloxorz is not a Tetris clone. In fact, the gameplay in Bloxorz couldn't be more different. The Tetris comparision is simply to point out that we think the game is that good, especially as a little web-based timewaster.

The hero of Bloxorz is, well, a rectangular block. Your job is to move the block by flipping it sideways or end-over-end through the maze of square tiles and arrange things so that your last flip slides your block through a single square hole. At first the game is a bit frustrating, but the learning curve is shallow and within 5 minutes you'll probably find yourself a few levels in, and having fun.

Surely this is just a variation on Devil Dice?

I love this game, but it killed two consecutive afternoons of mine. My brain still hurts.

Elliot: Bloxors involves rolling a block around a board, but that's pretty much where the similarities to Devil Dice end.

can anyone find a way to solve stage27 (i know, i know -i should get a life):password 660141. i'm reluctant to say 'impossible' as all levels have confounded me at first, but this? i just can't find a way - you'll know what i mean.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
