This game has been invented before.
Not a dunk on you, people come up with similar or identical ideas all the time without knowing at all about previous instances of the idea.
I first learned about this game from a YouTuber named Cary KH, he named his game Loop Over.

- LudwigNagasena 4y agoI was developing a similar game in Unity but decided to go further and add portals, rotations, splitting and other mechanics. Unfortunately, I have never managed to polish it (those 20% that take 80% of time, duh). I hope one day someone will implement something similar.
- jcfields 4y agoThere’s a Japan-only game for the Sega Game Gear called Kinetic Connection that plays similarly but involves rearranging a scrambled picture rather than moving colored blocks into a pattern. https://segaretro.org/Kinetic_Connection https://segaretro.org/Kinetic_Connection “Game 3” is the mode that rotates rows and columns like a Rubik’s Cube. There are probably earlier examples, but that’s the one that I’m familiar with. I imagine a clever person could adapt it into a simple word game as well. Old computer and console games are a gold mine for ideas for simple puzzle games.
