Collect the jewels hidden inside bubbles on a wooden board! SlideQuest is a sliding puzzle in which you move blocks to enclose a bubble from both sides and collect the jewel contained within it. Study the movable pieces and fixed obstacles, then work out the order that makes each collection safe.
Simply pushing toward a bubble is not enough. If the other side is empty, the bubble can fly away instead of bursting. You may need to position another block as a support before making the collection move. Understanding which piece to move first is central to the puzzle.
How to Play
- Select START and learn the collection rule through the tutorial. At the mission screen, check the level, the number of jewels to collect, and the time limit.
- Drag a movable block. Long blocks move along their orientation, while the single-cell block shown in the guide can move in four directions.
- Inspect the opposite side of the bubble. A supporting block or fixed obstacle needs to help enclose it when you push.
- Slide a block toward the bubble so it is held from both sides. A correct enclosure bursts the bubble, collects the jewel, and increases the collection count.
- If the opposite side is open, prepare a support first. Bubbles and fixed blocks marked with a prohibition symbol cannot be moved directly.
- Collect the required jewels within the time limit. The tutorial explains that faster collections can earn a higher medal. Consult the hint feature below the board when you need help.
Inspect Both Sides Before Pushing
A movable block beside a bubble may seem to offer an immediate solution. First check the cell on the other side: is it open, occupied by a fixed support, or reachable by a piece you can reposition? That small inspection determines whether the push is ready.
Do not assume that a distant obstacle makes the move safe. The tutorial demonstrates a failed collection when an empty cell remains beside the bubble. Prepare the actual enclosing arrangement before making contact.
Build the Support Before Collecting the Jewel
The piece nearest the bubble is not always the first one you should move. Raising a vertical block into position, for example, can create the support that a horizontal piece needs for a safe push. Think about the order of two pieces rather than treating each in isolation.
Some blocks perform the final collection; others make room or provide a backstop. Separating those roles can turn a complicated-looking arrangement into a short sequence. Prepare the space, position the support, and then complete the enclosure.
Distinguish Direction from Freedom of Movement
A long block's orientation helps you understand its possible route. Consider whether a horizontal piece can make the push or a vertical piece can supply the missing support. Work with the direction in which a block is placed instead of assuming you can rotate or freely reposition it.
Fixed blocks may obstruct a route, but they can also be useful supports. Look at their relationship to the bubbles before treating them only as barriers. An immovable object can be a clue to the intended solution.
Use a Clear Sequence to Save Time
With a time limit to consider, a brief plan can be more useful than moving several pieces at random. Decide which jewel to collect first and whether the resulting block position will help or hinder another target. Reducing unnecessary moves can make the sequence easier to carry out.
A better medal still depends on completing safe collections. Keep the enclosure rule in mind as you work faster. If you use a hint, consider why the suggested preparation is necessary so that the next arrangement is easier to read.
A wooden setting, sliding blocks, and fragile bubbles turn each board into a compact collection mission. Find the right order, bring both sides into position, and collect the jewels in SlideQuest!
