Objective
The objective of Block-man is to reach the doorway in each room.
Block-man must lift and place blocks which are located in each
room to accomplish his goal.
Introduction
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Bentangle ruled by
king Triangulos. The king loved to play with blocks ever since
he was introduced to them in his childhood. When his daughter,
Princess Pentagwin, came of age to marry, King Triangulos devised
a brilliant plan to select a worthy husband.
The king called all the best masons to his castle in order to
construct 10 rooms. Blocks were placed in each room to help
suitors reach the doorways, but the rooms were constructed in
such a way that great ingenuity would be required to complete them.
Block-man, a commoner in Bentangle, was in love with the princess
so he went to the castle to win her hand. After entering the
king's very first room, Block-man became overwhelmed by the
challenge ahead of him. Maybe you can help Block-man overcome
his challenge and meet his true love.
