Game overview

Color Block is a three-dimensional filling puzzle where a cube rolls across a shape and paints the surface it covers. The levels are built as clean geometric forms with obstacles cut into them, so the difficulty is spatial: you have to see which route covers everything without cornering yourself. Presentation is polished and the control is a single drag, which keeps the focus on reading the shape.

This title is best suited to players who want a spatial route-planning puzzle with clean presentation.

How to play Color Block

  1. Turn the shape over in your head before moving
  2. Drag the cube to start it rolling
  3. Paint the surface as it travels
  4. Route around the obstacles cut into the form
  5. Cover the whole shape to finish the level

Controls

  • Mouse or tap: drag to roll the cube across the shape

Objectives and failure conditions

Objectives

  • Paint every surface of the shape by rolling the cube over it without getting stuck.

The run ends or fails when

  • Rolling the cube into a position where the unpainted area is unreachable forces a restart.

Gameplay mechanics

  • The cube paints whatever it rolls over, so the route is the answer.
  • Obstacles cut into the shape restrict which sequences are possible.
  • Three-dimensional forms make the spatial reading harder than a flat grid.
