AmaZoo

It looks silly, but it is really hard! If you LOVE puzzles, please BUY this game! :D The puzzles are really hard and well done!

It's a very nice Sokoban-platformer so far. Its lacking some UX features (mainly no undo button) but the puzzles are well designed. Definitely worth a try!

I absolutely love this style of game, but this title craps the bed at every conceivable corner. 1. No undo button. Absolute cardinal sin. And there's a step counter? 2. Wonky controls. There's delay input and fiddly response. Combine that with the above after stacking boxes for a couple minutes where you accidentally double-jump onto spikes and you get to start over from the beginning instead of just rewinding one step! Yay! Who doesn't love wasting their time? 3. Timing elements. Seriously? In some levels you just stand idly for 15 seconds waiting for slow machines to line up. Absolute nightmare for experimentation. It felt like there were some interesting design choices and mechanics to mess with, but these levels seem more about draining your time than making you feel clever. Spend your time and money on better titles like Pilapila, Super Retro BoxBot, or Crate Mates. Trust me.

Honestly great game. The game play is polished, the controls are simple, and the puzzles are challenging but not annoyingly complex. For me its a no brainier purchase at the current price point. if you want to see game-play of the early levels here is my live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPtH6dPQ-iM Update: level 15 is crazy hard so the description is 100% correct, it is "chill at first" after 14 the chill is gone (in a good way)

Instead of pushing blocks from a top-down view though, the gameplay relies on lifting and dropping boxes in a side-view perspective. Despite some quality-of-life limitations, AmaZoo offers interestingly compact and tricky puzzles. Your character, KoKo, is a new worker lost in a giant corporate warehouse, and the goal of each level is to bring them to the exit on the right side of the screen. There can be multiple obstacles in the way though, from high walls to hazardous lasers, and that’s where moving boxes around comes into play. Aside from the plain cardboard ones, you’ll also have to use trolleys, fragile pots, heavy crates… The puzzles ingeniously leverage both the strengths and the perils of each type of box. Several rooms include real-time elements, in the form of moving platforms and patrolling robots. The levels are present…

If you have some kids, very nice game. Hard work on the level design.
