Block Puzzle Jewel
Block Puzzle Jewel is a puzzle game where jewel-shaped blocks are placed on a 9x9 board, combining the logic of Sudoku with block placement gameplay. The game features vibrant jewel blocks of different shapes and colors, creating a clear visual contrast on the board. Unlike traditional block games that focus solely on line clearance, Block Puzzle Jewel requires players to also form complete 3x3 squares, similar to Sudoku zones.
How to play
Players are given three random jewel blocks at a time. These blocks are dragged and dropped onto a 9x9 grid. The objective is to fill entire horizontal lines, vertical lines, or 3x3 sub-grids. Once any of these are completely filled with jewel blocks, they will be cleared. This adds depth to the gameplay, as players must not only think in terms of rows and columns but also consider box-based logic similar to Sudoku.
The game ends when there is no space left to place the given blocks. Players must plan ahead to keep the board open for future moves.
Visual style
Jewel blocks come in various colors including purple, green, and blue. Each block has a glowing gem-like design, enhancing contrast against the dark background. The board is evenly divided into 81 squares, with visual guides showing the 3x3 zones commonly seen in Sudoku puzzles. Additional features such as a shuffle tool and block rotation (limited by coins) are available to support different strategies.
Control instructions
Use the mouse (on desktop) or touch (on mobile) to drag and drop blocks into the grid. Blocks cannot be rotated. Once all three current blocks are placed, a new set of three will appear.
