Rolling-block colour-zone mazes

A black block, made of two black cubes stuck together, sits on a coloured grid. Your challenge is to roll the black block to its target position, which is marked with a small white cross.

There is only one rule... the block must always sit entirely within one colour-zone. The block starts on one end (vertical) and must also finish vertical. In the game you will see a birds-eye view of the board and thus only the footprint of the block.
