How to play
You complete Sliding Block Escape when the target block reaches and crosses its designated exit in the documented orientation. The full Sliding Block Escape position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Sliding Block Escape terminal rule.
- Sliding Block Escape begins with an original solver-verified tray containing labelled horizontal or vertical rectangular blocks and one clearly marked target and exit. The Sliding Block Escape deal identity and Original sliding-block escape rules v1 are stored together. Restarting Sliding Block Escape reproduces this opening exactly.
- During Sliding Block Escape, you slide a block along its permitted axis through consecutive empty cells without rotation, overlap, jumping, or leaving the tray except at the target exit. The Sliding Block Escape engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Sliding Block Escape reaches a terminal result.
- You complete Sliding Block Escape when the target block reaches and crosses its designated exit in the documented orientation. The full Sliding Block Escape position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Sliding Block Escape terminal rule.
Strategy tips
- A reliable Sliding Block Escape plan is to identify which blockers occupy the target corridor and create parking space before moving a block that cannot rotate. A Sliding Block Escape hint is legal and deterministic. The next Sliding Block Escape hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Sliding Block Escape win.
- A costly Sliding Block Escape mistake is to clear the target's next square while blocking the longer lane needed to move the displaced rectangle out of the way. Undo supports studying that Sliding Block Escape decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Sliding Block Escape opening.
- In the Sliding Block Escape endgame, restore temporary parking blocks to open the full exit corridor, then slide the target continuously without another obstruction. Check every remaining Sliding Block Escape action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
