We all like a bit of order in our lives. Socks go in the sock drawer, cups and plates have their place in the kitchen, and that's nothing compared to your video game collection: organize by title, release date, developer? It can get complex sometimes, but Ttursas, who also brought us the Perfect Balance series, gives us the puzzle game The Wizard of Blox 2, where the rules are quite simple.
You're presented with an arrangement of different shapes in a few different colors. So what do you do? Well, using the set of blocks you're given, move them with the mouse and use one of the many keyboard sets of controls (including [A] and [D] to rotate in set amounts or [Z] and [C] for slighter rotations) to find a way to connect all like-colored pieces to get them to disappear. Simple concept but not so simple to execute. Which color to go after first? How to arrange the pieces? It's all part of the challenge. If you're looking for a physics game to make you think, give this a try and find out if you've got the goods to earn the title of Wizard.
Level 12 is a pain to figure out!
Game keeps freezing on me. From the main screen, any time I turn off the volume the game locks up. I did this twice before figuring it out, so then I played with the sound on and at the end of level 1, game locked again. I'm gonna blame my computer I guess, though none of the other balance games have ever done this for me.

UPDATE: Just updated my flash player (in FF) and the problem still exists on the mute button issue, I've given up on the game on this puter.
@Username: I also failed to reproduce the issue on Windows 7, Chrome 15.0.874.121 with 11.1.102.55
Maybe try updating your sound card drivers?
Just replicated the problem(s) in IE, so all signs point to sound card drivers. I dunno, very strange, I'll try from home puter tonight if I end up staying in.
