- 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.
