Same Game Blocks Unblocked

Same Game Blocks is a color-clearing puzzle with gravity doing half the work. A box is packed with colored squares, and you may lift out any cluster of two or more that share an edge. Whatever sat above drops into the hole, and a column that empties entirely gets closed up by the ones beside it. The fun is in choosing what to leave alone: a color scattered across the board can be herded into one giant group worth a huge score. It is James Harvey’s entry in Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection, and it plays unblocked in your browser.

How a Turn Works

One click highlights every square linked to the one you chose. A line of text under the board reports how big the selection is and what it would score, so you can weigh options first. A second click on that cluster removes it, while clicking elsewhere simply moves the highlight.

Once a cluster is gone, anything stacked on it falls vertically. Fully empty columns disappear and the remaining ones close ranks to the left. A single square with no matching neighbour can never be taken on its own.

Empty the whole box and the game declares it COMPLETE and shows your points. When nothing but lone squares is left, the round ends.

You start on a tiny three-color 5x5 board. Bigger presets reach 20x15 in four colors, and Custom gives you control over dimensions, how many colors appear and which scoring formula is used.

Early, Middle and Late Board

Early on, pick one color to be your “big group” color and avoid touching it. Clear the other colors that sit between its scattered pieces, so they slowly fall and slide together.

In the middle, work from the bottom when you can. Taking out low clusters drags the stacks above them downward, and that regularly joins pieces that started far apart. Pairs are worth nothing under default scoring, so spend them freely to reshape the board.

Late in the game, count what is left of each color. Once one square of a color is stranded with no partner left anywhere, a perfect clear is off the table. Check the preview score on a few clusters before each move, since the gap between a good and a great clear is large.

Undo and redo have no limit, which makes it easy to test an idea and roll it back.

How It Differs From Swap-and-Match Games

Unlike the tile-swapping match puzzles elsewhere on the site, nothing moves here unless gravity moves it, and no clock runs. Every decision is about the order in which you remove what is already on the board. That makes it calmer and more strategic, closer to a solitaire than an arcade game.

If you enjoy color-based logic, Flood Fill Puzzle asks you to spread one color across a grid in as few moves as you can. You can also browse more relaxed picks in casual games.
