STATUS / IN DEVELOPMENT Inspired by Bloxorz & Cuboid

Syncline.

A minimalist puzzle game about connection, separation, and verticality. Grow longer, break shorter, and roll your way through puzzles where length is the strategy.

A spiritual successor to Bloxorz and Cuboid — the classic block-rolling logic puzzles — reimagined on a vertical grid with new mechanics for splitting, linking, and duplicating blocks.

// Lineage

The genre,
made flexible.

If you spent hours rolling a 2×1 block toward a square hole in Bloxorz, or guiding a cuboid through mystical ruins in Cuboid — you'll feel at home here. Syncline shares the spirit of those games: minimalist geometry, deliberate moves, and the quiet satisfaction of logic clicking into place.

The twist: your piece changes length. Start as a single cube. Roll into a loose cube to connect and grow longer — but only when you line up. Use the environment to disconnect when you need to shrink back down. A long piece reaches further; a short one fits through narrow spaces. Knowing when to grow and when to break apart is the puzzle.

Hazards complicate everything. Duplicator blocks convert your cubes into more duplicators — shrinking your usable group. Destructor blocks remove cubes from play entirely. Touch them wrong and the length you spent moves building falls apart.

Proof of life.

  1. Now
    IN PROGRESS

    The core mechanic — rolling the block, connecting to loose cubes to grow longer, disconnecting to shrink back down.

  2. Next
    PLANNED

    Goal blocks to win levels. Hazard blocks — duplicators and destructors — and the puzzles built around them.

  3. Later
    EXPLORING

    A level editor — so players can build and share their own puzzles.
