A 2D Puzzle Game where you move different blocks simultaneously like a hive mind. Form blocks into shapes and match the lock patterns in over 200 crafty levels, in order to free the world from mysterious chains

Block in the Lock is a 2D puzzle game where you move different blocks simultaneously like a hive mind. These blocks can be shifted and shaped to create certain patterns. All blocks move at the same time in the same direction and interact with their environment. A puzzle is solved when the movable blocks fill out the required shape with a certain pattern. You navigate through seven different worlds with their own themes and mechanics and free the world bit by bit with each level solved. Each world has its own style of gameplay and requires different ways of thinking to solve the puzzles. Features: 7 Worlds with unique themes and mechanics 200+ Levels to test your puzzle skills Custom Level Editor with Steam Workshop Integration
