This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-11-17
Bloxorz is a popular logic puzzle game that where you roll a 2x1x1 rectangular prism across a board and have it fall down a 1x1 hole on the other side. As the game progresses, it introduces new mechanics such as switch-activated platforms and teleporters that split your prism into 1x1x1 cubes that can roll separately and join back together later. It has since received an official port to HTML5 and unofficial ports to iOS and Android.
sobble_p ( tasvideos.org/... ) completes all 33 stages of Bloxorz as fast as possible without resorting to a glitch that skips all the way to the final stage.

I imagine the way most levels are made is by starting at the end point. That way its less solving and more designing for the programer.

a TAS of this game really amplifies just how well the game was made for its time: levels don't include useless space, puzzles have to be solved in the intended way, Visual and sound design reinforce each other and give the game that unsettling, but not threatening, feeling.

@SeppelSquirrel Жыл бұрын

I was really impressed by it, too! At first I was confused as to why so many moves were required to make each position work, and it turns out it's because there are 27 different "orientations" of the block. Because movement back to the origin point in a single direction is 3 tiles, we have to account for all 3 orientations (standing, vertical, horizontal) per tile in a 3x3 space. This is also why a 3x3 space isn't enough to attain each orientation. You need at least 2 tiles' growth beyond a 3x3 space to achieve additional orientations.

@PaulFisher Жыл бұрын

as I was watching this, I was struck by just how good the animations and sound effects are. even though the swirling effect as the tiles exit the playfield is a bit dated, it’s well-executed, and the “sliding into the hole” sound (not to mention the motion) is perfect.

For a puzzle game about blocks, the rusty texture on the player character and the dark red skybox mixed with the empty, sterile, and narrow levels always kinda creeped me out. It sort of reminds me of Portal. Edit: I forgot to mention the ambient noise, which is probably the biggest factor in this game's unsettling atmosphere.

Looking back, why was the atmospheric design so hostile for such a chill game?

I have a fun story with this game. Rather, a clone of it. When I was in middle school, I didn't have my own phone, but some of my friends every now and then let me play on theirs when we were on the bus on our way back home. One of my friends had a clone of Bloxorz, and I decided to play it. I was doing well... And then in the penultimate stage, there was actually one floor tile missing, rendering me unable to beat the game in that bus ride. Damnit. Oh well, I can still beat this game normally anyway, so it's not a big deal, but I feel like I'll never be vindicated about that.
