Wood Color Block is a popular puzzle game genre on mobile devices that has many versions with different names, but the gameplay remains the same.
Wood Color Block Basic Gameplay
Goal
The player's goal is to remove all the colored wooden blocks (Color Blocks) from the board by moving them into the Gate or Crusher of the corresponding color.
Movement Rule
- The player swipes or taps a colored block to move it.
- The block will slide in the swiped direction until it hits an obstacle (such as a wall, another block) or enters the Gate/Crusher.
- Moving blocks is the focus of clearing the way for other blocks.
Color Matching
A colored block can only be removed when it slides into a Gate/Crusher of the matching color (e.g., a blue block must enter a blue gate).
Strategic Elements
Directional Blocks
Can only move in a certain direction (usually marked with an arrow). This requires the player to arrange other blocks to clear the path for this block's required movement.
Layered Blocks
Has an outer color and an inner core color. It must be inserted into the outer colored portal first, then the core can be inserted into the core colored portal. Requires a specific sequence of actions and cannot be destroyed immediately.
Locked Blocks
A block locked by a chain, which can only be released when a specific key block is removed or a certain condition is met. Requires the player to clear the secondary block first.
Gray Blocks
A colorless block that cannot be removed (no gray portal), only used to block or push other blocks. It acts as a permanent or temporary obstacle, requiring the block to be slid away to clear the path.
