Bloxorz
Bloxorz is a simple idea for a puzzle game that is beautifully executed. The objective is to tumble a rectangular block through each stage and deposit it into the square hole at the end. Using a series of bridge-opening switches, teleporters, and block-splitting switches, solve the puzzle each stage presents to move on to the next of the game's 33 levels.

The trick to this game (esp levels like #11) is to:
look at where you know you absolutely have to be standing up or lying down to get to the exit and work logically backwards from that point (to get to here I'd have to be here first and before that here and before that etc. etc.)
Not sure if thats a real spoiler, but I figured its better to be safe.

Wow, what a great game. And I did it all on my own. *very proud*
Dr_Pangloss:
You're definitely missing something.
hint:
You can turn it around on the lower "platform" and then get it back to the upper with the hole.
It sometimes helps to think "backwards". Like how is it supposed to lie to get past a point, and then count the road back to where it is.
Remember that you can roll it, when it's lying down. That often helps.
For those (like me) who were having trouble with level 29:
A hint:
You have to get all three of the "X" pressure switches to finish the level
The solution:
Top left is Left 1, below that is Left 2; top right is Right 1, below that is Right 2, below that is Right 3, etc.:
Hit the switches in this order: Right 3 => Left 1 => Right 1 => Right 4 => Right 2 => Left 2
kiki - you're right, passwords aren't technically a walkthrough, but they sure help get you through the game: if you get stuck on a level, enter the password for the next level and skip it.
I would love it if someone would come up with a walkthrough for this game, I'll add it to the section above along with the passwords. Anyone?
For 28:
Go down over the yellow tiles.. then to the right towards the teleportation Device.
Do not hit the button. Try to go around the button (clockwise.. and then go up)..
Go back towards your intitial position, and shift your position a bit, and come back. The idea is to hit the teleportation device from the top-left, not bottom. So trace your steps back from there to see where you have to be.
Stage One
480464
Down, Right x 6, Down.
Stage Two
290299
Up, Right, Down, Right x 4, Up x 2, Down x 2, Right x 4, Up, Left, Up.
Stage Three
918660
Right, Up, Right x 3, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up x 2, Right x 3, Down, Right, Down x 2, Right, Up.
Stage Four
520967
Up, Left, Up, Right x 2, Up, Right x 6, Down, Right, Down x 5, Right, Up, Left x 6, Down.
Stage Five
028431
Right x 3, Left, Right x 4, Down, Left x 2, Up, Left, Down x 4, Right x 5, Down, Right x 3, Left x 4, Down, Left x 6.
Sure, Neo.
Okay. So it's really not that hard, but the goal is to get on that stupid teleport pad.
You can't get on that pad the first time you reach it. So go further.
Literally go as far as you can, all the way to the end of that crisscross part, and PAST it back to where you started.
You can't go far back where you started, but you need to reposition yourself to go back down the criss cross. Do it right, and you'll land on the teleport.
Well, thanks Adamus, but I was hoping for something more like THIS:
Now, I usually don't like to provide walkthroughs, but for revenge on THIS level, I will.
LDDDRDRULDDRULLDRRRDDRRR...(on end, just over the bridge)
UUULULULULDRRDRDRDRRDLDLL...(on side, just over bridge)
UUULULULU...(on end, far right of top row)
DLULLDLURRRDRDRDRDR(activates teleport, I hope you can take it from here).
There are at least two extra keystrokes I put in to place the block for reference...but it works.
Level 33 was TOUGH! That level stumped me for quite a while. I would recommend just ignoring the buttons at first (go over them even though you aren't supposed to) and work your way backwards from the X to the beginning of the levels without hitting any buttons. That way you can figure out how to get to the X without hitting the buttons by doing it in reverse. Once you figure out how to get to the X without hitting buttons, it isn't very hard to get to the end of the level. Good luck.
Neo - for 33 don't bother trying to solve it first go. Just get yourself to where you can trigger the hard switch (hitting soft ones on the way, you can start again later) then work backwards.
Then just restart and you should have a decent-ish idea of how to get there, then it's a matter of finding the right path to the exit.
Howdy yall. Actually, IMO hardest levels were: 11, 23, 28, 30, 32.
My ultimate piece of advice, after finishing them all last night, is...
It helps to think of where you need to go to finish, but also think of where you CAN'T go, even if all the bridges are open. A lot of levels have red herrings, or paths that you can't choose because there is no possible way to fit your block through.
I'm posting the walkthroughs as I'm solving the game. Hope I don't spoil anyone's fun.
please please please do try it on your own first ok?
Stage 18:
To activate 1st round switch
U,L,D,Rx4,U,U
To activate 2nd round switch

Trust me, 33 is NOT impossible. I have completed it but do not know the rought too well so I didn't note down the walkthrough for it. Here's a little hint about the buttons:
Imagine your in a mine field, if you hit any button you blow the bridge and you cannot fix it on your own.
If you hit a button then you have failed. Its as simple as that.
Good game, took me 5 tries to do level 33 but 10 minutes to do it. Just think about it.
I have looked back at level 33 and I have decided to let out some of the steps needed.
Only check if you are certain... Here are the 40 steps required to access the button on the right, the X button..Steps in groups of 10.
R,R,R,R,U,L,D,D,D,R
R,U,L,U,L,U,U,R,R,D

Now all you need to do is get to the end, and thats not so easy :)
