Atomix by Thalion for C64, Loaded from tape
This is one of my favourite puzzle games ever - I actually discovered it well after the fact, in an emulator bundle with the old pc64 emulator in late 1994/early 1995 (which played the sound through, hilariously, the adlib synthensiser. It was.... not great, but also kind of great in retrospect!). It does commit the sin of presentation loads, but.... it's not too bad. The most confusing thing is that you hit space to get past the title screen, which is also fire in port 1, but of course you play the game with port 2, so I was constantly switching the damn joystick port initially.
Really fun game though, strongly recommend! One of the best puzzle games on the c64
