It’s been 5 years since the initial release, and it’s time for the biggest update yet. Here’s what’s new:
* Improved Controls
* New Levels
* Complete Redesign
Thank you for your continued support. I hope you enjoy this update and the improvements it brings.
Slide to Solve is a minimalist puzzle challenge focused on strategy and foresight. The objective is to slide all blocks in a single direction—up, down, left, or right—until they interact to complete the level. With no text or UI distractions, players can immerse themselves in 49 thoughtfully crafted puzzles. Featuring pixel-perfect graphics and relaxing background music, it’s a rewarding experience for fans of pure logic games.

Our Expert Score
Slide to Solve is a triumph of minimalist design. It strips the puzzle genre down to its barest components—blocks and directions—and builds a surprisingly deep experience from those simple blocks. Each of the 49 levels is a self-contained logic problem that requires you to think several steps ahead. Because the blocks interact with one another to stop or shift, the game feels more like a mechanical machine you are trying to align than a simple sliding puzzle.
The presentation is exceptionally clean, with pixel-perfect graphics and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the 'zen' nature of the gameplay. Recent updates have further refined the controls and UI, making the experience feel modern despite its roots. It’s a quiet, thought-provoking game that avoids the flashy distractions and ad-heavy clutter of many contemporary mobile titles. If you enjoy games like 'Sokoban' but want something more streamlined and visually soothing, this is an easy recommendation.

Tips & Walkthrough
Often, you cannot finish a level by moving a block directly to the goal. You must first slide other blocks into position to act as 'stops,' allowing you to change the trajectory of your target block.
Gameplays
The final levels represent a significant difficulty spike. These require precise sequencing where a single wrong move can prevent you from reaching the exit. Use the restart button frequently to experiment with new patterns.

One of my favorite iOS games of all time
Tue Jan 21 2025 Se-x-y-zThank you guys for not abandoning the game, I’m quite surprised to see an update despite being free and after all this time. I’ve been playing it since 2020 (stock at lvl 50), and once in a while I try again to beat it. This new bid update has certainly given me the energy to come back complete all levels!
Good Foundation
Thu Jan 30 2020 Kyle637295929Excited to see how this game progresses. So many games out there with tons of ads and paid add ons, it’s nice to have a relaxing but thought provoking game that I paid for up front and can enjoy. Keep new levels coming at this pace and eventually I would buy an expansion with a different theme (other than the cubes). Took about 2 days to beat the first 40 levels but they are replayable.
Amazing Concept
Thu Jan 30 2020 CozySteampunkI don’t play lots of mobile games due to lack of creativity with most of them. However this changes everything. This game truly makes you think about your next move. Maybe in the future you could make new game modes so we can continue to stay interested.
Fun
Tue Jan 28 2020 c_bixI don’t play many games anymore but this was seriously fun. Beat it in a couple days. Some levels were very challenging. Please make more levels. Thanks!
Excellent short puzzle game that could go further
Sun Dec 15 2024 Gameboy5LifeI’ve played a lot of swipe based puzzle games and this one is easily one of the best. I just wish there was more, as well as quality of life features like portrait mode.
Really enjoyed it!
Thu Jan 16 2020 SplatoontangFun minimalistic puzzle game. Not overly difficult but i did get stuck a few times. The forty levels were well worth the 99¢.
Fun and challenging game

A Good Challenge
Sun May 17 2020 CsidoGreat game, I’ve really enjoyed working these puzzles. But I’m tired of being stalled at #46! Has anyone made a walkthrough? Thanks!
