✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this free Sokoban puzzle game for its charming dinosaur characters, clever mechanics including panels that add puzzle depth, generous undo system, and branching 70-level campaign. However, the lack of mid-level saving or a restart option is a significant frustration, alongside missing quality-of-life features like level numbers, keyboard shortcuts for restarting, and an intrusive help system that could better integrate new mechanics into level introductions.

free pixely sokoban with lovely dinos possessing limited amounts of special abilities. no move counter or limit, [b]unlimited undo[/b], can hold to take back multiple steps, can push multiple things together. there are also 'panels' to mess with, essentially another layer to enter or push around from the inside or outside, and marked objects switch places once the panel moves off them. the ever-expanding help section explains mechanics briefly but it'd be better if anything new came up, only once, when the level starts, instead of a prompt to press a key if you want to see the new info. why wouldn't you? 70 levels, some branching progression, always nice. [b]no mid-level saving, nor a restart level option[/b], huge oversight. no hotkey, nothing in the pause menu. no level numbers anywhere either, only names and only shown on level select if you're standing on one. separate volumes, [b]rebindable controls[/b], but the mouse only works in the menu. in fact, only the mouse works in the menu, not wasd, nor arrows, both used for movement by default otherwise. no windowed mode, alt+enter only makes a non-resizable window. the game itself is good, especially for a student project, even…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
