W*H*B is a puzzler that resembles Damien Clarke's Bloxorz in many ways, although this version features configurable button settings, great chiptunes and lovely retro graphics that the original had never offered. The game also doesn't punish you as severely for making mistakes, with the screen flashing red if your next move could cause the block to fall off the map.

An emulator may be required to play W*H*B, assuming that you don't own a working ZX Spectrum anywhere around the house. ZX Spin is a free emulator that works well enough with the game. It is also recommended that players reconfigure the key settings to their preferences before starting the first puzzle, since buttons are placed too far away in the default configuration for one hand to handle.

There are forty levels to play in total. (screenshots, level passcodes)

I played this on my DS using the emulator ZXDS, it worked like a charm :)
I thought that the music was a bit sparse, especially considering how nice the tune is you hear when quitting the game. It was quite fun, though, and I'm happy to have that game with me on the go, to go on playing some time :)
