Puzzle

Puzzle Mode is a unique gameplay mode in Meteos Astro Blocks.

Overview

Puzzle Mode requires the player to clear the field of blocks in the given number of moves, sometimes requiring the use of items to gain the desired result. Puzzle stages were naturally encountered throughout Star Quest, though a unique mode would be unlocked by completing the very first puzzle on Earth.

Most puzzles were unique, though the four encountered in Star Quest were reused on various difficulties.

Puzzles used in Star Quest will by noted first, followed by the 20 puzzles used in Puzzle Mode. Note that the player is locked into the "main" controls during this time, using rules not unlike a general Match-3 game. Any puzzle in this mode can be quickly restarted by pressing the * (asterisk) key.

The base puzzle in the article will be shown to the right, with written instructions on how to solve it to the left.
