Farm Block
Slide animal blocks out of a crowded pen — an unblock puzzle with livestock as the pieces.
Under the countryside dressing this is the sliding-block puzzle you already know: pieces move only along their own length, the exit is blocked by other pieces, and the solution is an ordering problem rather than a dexterity one. Each block here is an animal that needs to get out.
What the theme buys is legibility. A cow lying east-west is obviously a horizontal piece, and that reads faster than an abstract rectangle does, which lowers the cost of scanning a crowded board.
Difficulty ramps politely. Early boards are three or four moves deep, later ones need you to move a piece away from the exit before you can move it towards it — the moment when this genre stops being obvious and starts being a puzzle.
Controls
Drag a block along its own axis to slide it.
How to Play
- Look at which block you need to free first.
- Slide the pieces in its way along their own axis.
- Clear a path and move the blocked animal out.
- Repeat until the pen is empty.
Tips & Tricks
Work backwards from the exit. Ask which piece must move last, then which piece is in that one's way, and the order of the first few moves usually falls out of the answer without any trial and error.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a match-three game?
No. It is a sliding-block logic puzzle — pieces move along their own axis and nothing is matched by colour.
Can I get a board into an unsolvable state?
The boards are designed to be recoverable, and a restart is always one click away if you tangle one.
