About the Game

Fill the board, one clean decision at a time

Eightfold Blocks is a focused spatial puzzle game about reading an 8x8 board and making every piece count. You drag blocks from the tray, rotate them into shape, test placements, pull them back out, and keep adjusting until every open cell is filled.

You will build complete solutions

Each level gives you a fixed board pattern and a limited set of pieces. There is no timer and no score pressure. You can study the board, try a risky layout, undo a mistake by dragging a piece back to the tray, or reset the puzzle and rebuild from scratch.

You will keep your solved boards

When you solve a puzzle, the completed board stays on screen so you can inspect the final arrangement before moving on. Progress autosaves as you play, so your solved levels and current board are ready when you return.

You will work through a long puzzle set

The full game includes 1,000 levels organized into 50-level chapters. Each puzzle is compact, but the campaign keeps asking you to look again, rotate differently, and find the one layout where every block has a place.

You will get a nudge when you are stuck

The hint button highlights one possible next placement without finishing the puzzle for you. It gives you a direction to test while keeping the solve in your hands.

Controls

Drag pieces from the tray to the board. Tap or click a piece to rotate it before placing. On desktop, R rotates the selected or dragged piece.
