About Little Square Things

✦ AI summary

You control multiple square characters simultaneously to solve Sokoban-style puzzles by coordinating them across 111 unique levels filled with hazards and environmental tricks. This retro-inspired puzzle game stands out with its charming 90s aesthetic, wraparound geometry, variable difficulty options, and the clever twist of managing all your squares as one cohesive unit.

Congratulations, warehouse keeper! You've been promoted!

Little Square Things is a Sokoban-like puzzle game. The objective is simple: Move boxes around to cover up some panels.

But this isn't your father's warehouse. In Little Square Things, you are the boxes. All of them. All of the Square Things respond to your every move, and so it's up to you keep them coordinated, in sync, and in line. Guide them through a series of challenging (and hazardous!) environments to get those panels covered!

Little Square Things is also completely free.

You want puzzles? You've got puzzles!
Think your way through 111 unique puzzles! Plus, you can revisit them all for completely new challenges in each! From walls to water, from bullets to buzzsaws -- other elements either stand in your way. That, or they'll help you out. You'll have to figure that out! Navigate the geometry, with game boards that wrap around and null spaces that literally don't exist! Stop to take your moves turn-by-turn, or crank up the speed if you're in a hurry!

As a master shepherd of sheep and cats alike, you are the Square Things' beacon of hope in these complicated times.

Were you a 90s kid? Some other kind of kid? Are you a kid right now? Doesn't matter, because this game is for you!

Here's what you'll see, hear, and feel:
New! More Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) and SoundBlaster support-ish! Gamepad.. err.. joystick support! Modern stuff like Achievements and cloud sync!

With its futuristic 17-color graphics and enhanced Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), Little Square Things is going to blow you away.

So boot up your i386, tinker with your CONFIG.SYS, and crack your knuckles in preparation for that DOS prompt, because it's time to play a game! Also, it's 1991!

Difficulty : 2.5/5 (A bit Hard) Global : 3.5/5 (Very Good) Curator page : [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44695991-Anokturnus/]Anokturnus[/url] Little Square Things is, like one of its levels is called, a "semi-Sokoban". You push things but you're also the boxes. Most of the puzzles have you controlling several cubes at once, and the goal is to put a cube on every green panel in the level. The puzzles are very varied with tons of ideas, it's impressive and that's what makes this game very fun. Pure sokoban block pushing, laser arrangement, dodging and using bullets and saws, managing the various types of cubes you control etc... Some mechanics are more used than others of course, but for the majority of the game, each level feels different and fresh. The difficulty is not that high, especially if you just want to complete the game. Only World 9 is a pretty big difficulty spike, the rest of the game is moderately challenging but not hard. You can get up to 3 stars per level : the first for completing it, the second for completing it under a certain number of move, and the third for gathering the 3 star fragments of the level. The second and third stars can be very tr…

Absolute gem of a puzzle game and best part of it is that it's free

Игра "Little Square Things" - это восхитительная головоломка, которая обманчиво проста на первый взгляд. Суть геймплея заключается в перемещении маленьких квадратиков по лабиринту, чтобы собрать все ключи и добраться до выхода. С каждой новой головоломкой задачи становятся все сложнее, требуя от игрока не только логического мышления, но и умения предвидеть свои действия на несколько шагов вперед. Графика в игре минималистичная, но от этого только выигрывает. Лаконичный дизайн не отвлекает от главного - решения головоломок! Музыкальное сопровождение приятное и ненавязчивое, создающее расслабляющую атмосферу. Сложность уровней нарастает постепенно, что позволяет игрокам освоиться с механикой и насладиться процессом решения. Некоторые головоломки действительно заставляют поломать голову, но ощущение удовлетворения после их решения невероятно! Игра подходит для тех, кто ищет спокойный и увлекательный способ проверить свою логику и пространственное мышление. Единственным небольшим минусом можно назвать отсутствие какого-либо сюжета, но это с лихвой компенсируется интересными головоломками. Однозначно рекомендую всем любителям жанра!

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

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.
