A sliding puzzle with a colour-matching goal: each block has to reach the door of its own colour, the board is crowded enough that most blocks cannot move at all initially, and there is a clock — which turns what would be a leisurely logic puzzle into a planning exercise under mild pressure. The difficulty is order rather than difficulty of movement. Almost every level has exactly one block that can move first, and choosing wrong does not fail immediately — it blocks something three moves later, which is far more annoying. That delayed punishment is what gives the game its character, and the good levels are the ones where the correct opening looks like the least useful one. The timer is generous enough to think and tight enough that dithering costs you.

How to play Color Block Jam
- Find the block that can only move one way and move it first.
- Plan the exit order before touching anything; the last block out constrains everything before it.
- Clear the path to a door rather than moving blocks towards it individually.
- Undo as soon as a move blocks something, rather than trying to work around it.
- Restart early — a jammed board rarely recovers within the time limit.
Tips
- The block nearest its door is frequently the one to move last, because it is holding a lane open.
- Crowded corners resolve from the outside in.
- If the timer is the problem rather than the puzzle, you are solving as you go instead of planning first.
