Unblock Ball: Slide Puzzle

Slide the wooden blocks out of the way and guide that stubborn ball to the exit — one wrong move and you'll be untangling your own mess.

I opened Unblock Ball thinking I'd knock out a few levels while waiting for a download. An hour later I was still there, convinced the next level would be the one that stumped me. The idea is brutally simple: a board of wooden tiles, a ball stuck at one end, a glowing exit at the other. You slide the tiles around — up, down, left, right — until there's a clear path for the ball to roll through. No timers, no scores, no enemies. Just you, some blocks, and a deceptively tricky geometry problem. The moment that hooked me came around level 14 or 15. I had slid four tiles into what I was sure was a perfect snake path, only to realize I'd blocked my own starting tile. That's the real challenge: every move affects the next, and a single tile out of place can force you to undo everything. The wooden blocks have different sizes — some are long, some are short — and that changes how they can turn or squeeze through gaps. You quickly learn to treat the board like a tiny parking lot where every block needs a spot. There's no punishment for messing up. Hit reset and the board snaps back instantly, which is why the game feels so hard to quit. It's pure logic dressed up as a casual toy. If you enjoy sliding puzzles, Rush Hour-style traffic jams, or any game where you stare at a screen and suddenly yell 'OH, that's it,' this will scratch that itch perfectly. Unblock Ball is the kind of game you open for a minute and accidentally play for an hour.

Use your mouse or touch to drag wooden tiles into 4 direction - Up, down, left or right and make path for ball to go from start to end tile

Start by spotting which tiles actually block the ball's path — don't waste moves on tiles that aren't in the way. When stuck, trace the path backwards from the exit to find the first blocked tile. Use the board's edges as temporary 'parking spots' to slide long tiles out of tight corners. Reset without hesitation; a fresh board often reveals an obvious move you missed. Pay attention to tile sizes — long blocks can't rotate in narrow gaps, so clear space before sliding them.
