Dr. Kobushi's Labyrinthine Laboratory

When the game is more trail and error than linch-pin puzzler, that delay when you move and having to wait for all the robots to move around makes, plus having deaths reset everything, adds a consistent slowness that builds into a malaise of frustration. If you can get past that it seems to have alot of puzzles to throw at you and quirky character dialogue if you like that sort of thing.

I originally bought the game because fearofdark made the OST and puzzle games can be pretty cool! Now I'm playing it so the music keeps my rage within.

Anton had it good

If you want a puzzle game that really excercises your mind, then Dr.Kobushi's is for you. It really makes you think outside the box with it's turn based grid puzzles.

I'm 40 levels in, so this review may change as I get further, but this has been a really pleasant puzzle game. I was put off by a few "HARDEST PUZZLE GAME EVER?!" comments, and that made me hold off on playing it for a long time. But the puzzles are honestly pretty straightforward if you've played Sokoban games before. This game makes the correct path pretty straightforward to figure out, but also doesn't force you into super specific movement patterns like some of the more hardcore Sokoban games. The writing is enjoyable, and the soundtrack is excellent. If you liked Chip's Challenge, or like Alan Hazelden's puzzles but wish they were a bit more approachable, this will probably be right up your alley.

the puzzles are challenging but rewarding, and the characters are very fun! not to mention how COOL the music is (im a huge fearofdark fan, so hearing his music was an amazing treat
