Don't get Puzzled on this Bottleneck game.

Author's note:

Bottleneck is a puzzle game which uses the nineteen fixed tetromino pieces. The idea is to move the square tetromino into the neck of the bottle in the least amount of moves. This is accomplished by clicking on any piece and holding down the mouse button and dragging with it.

Pieces can be moved orthogonally and diagonally (very useful) as long as there is a vacant space for it to go. Diagonal movement is harder to spot than the traditional orthogonal move but is essential to the game. There is no time limit and an upper move limit of 999 but you should never reach it. All 20 levels are accessible from the menu. If you get stuck just click on reset to start the level again.

You may find the control method is a little odd, in that left clicking anywhere on a piece will cause the mouse pointer to automatically centralise on the tetromino. A grab hand will appear until the mouse button is released and a move recorded.

Mike's note:

I like this one - it takes a little getting used to the movement, but is very challenging.
