Get to Know About Blocked Out
Have you ever stumbled on Blocked Out and thought, “This looks like Tetris in 3D—how hard can it be?” On the surface, it’s a straightforward puzzle: you’re dropping these chunky, multicolored blocks into a well, trying to fill entire layers across every axis. But instead of pieces plummeting down like in most block games, gravity’s flipped—you send them from the bottom up, and you get to spin the well itself in 90-degree increments to find just the right angle.
What really hooked me was how much brainpower each move demanded. You can rotate the piece, slide it across the floor, even peer around the pit before committing. One misplaced cube can leave you with awkward gaps that thwart neat layer completion. It might sound simple, but when you’re juggling multiple layers in real time, it feels like juggling flaming torches while blindfolded.
Despite its retro look and DOS-era sound effects, Blocked Out somehow still feels fresh whenever you boot it up. There’s a zen rhythm to lining up that last square, followed by the satisfying whoosh of a cleared plane. It’s not the flashiest game out there, but give it a shot next time you want a puzzle that’s deceptively simple yet fiercely addictive.
