Guilhermo v.S. Heldt’s Blockage <\/strong>is much better than its name. It’s a puzzle game, pure and simple \u2013 not flashy, not very long. You guide coloured blocks to their homes, with the trick being the ability to ‘lock’ blocks in place to form helpful new platforms. 20 levels of that, and it’s over.<\/p>\n

But it’s one of those games where the increasing complexity of the puzzles is so perfectly tuned \u2013 making your brain stretch and strain just a little bit each time to reach the solution \u2013 that I couldn’t leave it alone. At least until I got really <\/em>stuck on the level pictured above.<\/p>\n

I do like the way the blocks roll clunkily along, too. Makes you wish car wheels worked the same way. Play Blockage (Flash)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

While I’m here…<\/p>\n
