Animal Klotski
About Animal Klotski
Klotski puzzles are usually red boxes on a grid; this version swaps them for animals, but the underlying rule hasn't changed. Every block can only slide along rows and columns it fits, and the one you actually want to move is almost never the one with a clear path. Animal Klotski expects you to shuffle the smaller creatures out of the way first, one drag at a time, before the wide block you're steering toward the exit has room to travel. Miscounting how far a piece can slide before it's blocked by a neighbor is the most common way a round stretches from twenty moves to fifty. There's no penalty for backtracking, so the honest fix for a stuck layout is reversing the last few slides.
How to Play
- Click and drag a block to slide it along an open row or column
- Clear smaller animals out of the path before moving the large block
- Plan a few slides ahead — blocks only travel as far as open space allows
- Reach the marked exit tile with the target animal to clear the level
Animal Klotski FAQ
I keep sliding the big block back to where it started — what am I doing wrong?
The big block can only travel as far as the empty space in front of it allows. If you have not first cleared a full row or column of smaller animals out of its path, it slides partway and stops, which looks like backtracking but is really just running out of room to move.
