How to play
Slide
Drag any block up, down, left or right. It glides until something stops it.
Match the gate
Line a block up with a gate of its own colour, wide enough to fit, and it slides off the board. Clear every block to win.
Hold the plate
A shut gate is wired to a plate on the floor. Park a block on the plate to open the gate, free the others, and move that block out last.
Four power-ups
Wild Gates
Any block can leave through any open gate it fits. You only pay when a block uses it.
Hammer
Smash one block off the board.
Colour Bomb
Clear every block of one colour at once.
Master Key
Opens every shut gate until a block goes through one. No plate needed.
