A rage inducing puzzle in a good way.
Just 30 levels but I had to restart several of the levels many, many times before I figured out the solutions.
Don't press Escape to return to the menu - the menu just freezes and you have to kill the game and restart to proceed.
This game is a great introduction to sokobans. It's not too difficult, but it does have some levels that'll make you sit on them for a bit. If you're interested in Draknek's games, but want an easier introduction to get used to the genre, I'd highly suggest going with this game. It also has a lot of stylistic and mechanical similarities to A Good Snowman is Hard to Build, just on a smaller scale.
Definitely a really short playthrough, but at only $1 it's definitely worth the price. Took me around an hour and a half to full clear, so expect to spend around 1-4 hours on it depending on how accustomed you are to sokobans.
None of the puzzles are brain-melt difficult, but if you want something cute, fun, and with a lil' splash of difficulty here and there, this is the game for you.
