Gate Glide

How to play

Each board has jelly blocks and colored doors on its edges. Slide a block against the door of its own color and it leaves the board. Clear every block to win. Most levels have a clock that starts on your first move. If it hits zero, you try the board again.

On a phone, put your finger on a block and slide it. On a computer, drag with the mouse, or press Tab to pick a block and move it with the arrow keys. H gives a hint, R restarts the board, and P or Esc pauses.

Tips and tricks

• A block only fits through a door that is at least as wide as the block, so check door sizes before you plan a route.
• If a block can leave right now, let it go. Taking a block off the board never makes the puzzle harder, and it frees space for the rest.
• A frozen block's number counts down each time another block leaves. Clear the easy blocks first to melt it.
• Arrow blocks only slide the way their arrows point. Two-color blocks must use the door of their outside color first, then the door of their inside color.
• Stars come from time left: finish with plenty of time for 3 stars. Every 10 stars gives a free hint.
• In Rush you start with 60 seconds. Each block out adds 2 seconds and each cleared board adds 6, and blocks sent out quickly one after another score more.

What makes it fun

Gate Glide starts with a few simple boards and adds one new idea per world: stones in Sugar Street, frozen blocks in Frosty Fields, arrow blocks in Arrow Alley, two-color blocks in Double Jelly, and everything together in Gala Garden. The puzzles are short, so a good plan feels quick and clean. Rush turns the same rules into a fast race against the clock.
