About the Game

Solve intuitive puzzles, uncover secrets, find collectibles and complete increasingly challenging levels in this Sokoban inspired game, where everything moves at the same time.

FEATURES:

  • Over 70+ unique puzzle levels.

  • A forgiving undo system.

  • Hints included with every level.

  • "Extra" challenge levels for hardcore players.

  • A fully fledged Level Editor.

  • Around 8-12h worth of puzzles!

  • Meta game… progression?

  • And lots of secrets to uncover!

IMPORTANT!!

The demo showcases the first playable area, that which has no story elements involved and is the most “mechanically simple” of them all. It might feel like there's not much judging from it, but that is far from the truth.

Will you like this game?

This game is intended for people who have already played some Sokoban or puzzle games before, it is challenging, but fair! In addition, every level gets increasingly more complex and interesting, as more interactions and secrets get uncovered by the player.

Levels are designed to teach you most mechanics, but will need some experimentation from the player. And even if you are new to Sokoban games, every level has a “nested” hint into it, a smaller level to push you towards the right direction.

Have fun! <3
