Ultimately, that's more or less what RE wound up being, yet with a distinct approach in its puzzle design. It impresses me how creative people can be for designing puzzles, and if you have the patience for it, can be some of the more unique and rewarding types of games to triumph in. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] RE is a puzzle platformer, and unlike some games in that genre, doesn't focus on overly difficult or taxing platforming. A few stages could have been tweaked for easier mobility, but none of the puzzles are going to push the player's ability to make tricky jumps. Instead, the emphasis is much more on navigating stages and figuring out how you need to move the objects around to solve the puzzle. I know that when I'm already trying…

Rehtona is a great puzzle-platformer, with crisp gameplay mechanics, clever level design, and beautiful pixel art graphics. However, if you're going to spend money on it, buy the mobile version. The desktop version is way outdated, has no extra content, and generally doesn't seem to be supported by the developers anymore. In comparison, the mobile game gets regular updates, and has way more content — tons of DLC levels, as well as a level editor — all of which can be acquired for about the same price as the desktop version. The only downside to the mobile version is that it's very demanding, so slower phones and tablets may have trouble running it. Update: as of April 2021, the mobile version has also stopped receiving updates. But otherwise, everything above still holds true, so I still recommend getting that over the desktop version.

It's a good Puzzle game. Only annoyance is that the undo function has a cooldown and a animation too. If you have to redo more then 3 steps back then it is easier to just restart the entire level and do it all manually.

Very nice puzzle game, would recommend, especially if you like some sokoban action.

Pros: It's got a few fairly creative puzzle mechanics, along with some standard ones. More importantly, all the puzzles are well designed. The ability to rewind one "significant" move at a time is a very nice quality of life feature. Cons: Like many indie puzzle games, it is only 3-4 hours long and doesn't have much replay value. The story isn't worth much, and the game ends rather abruptly. Overall: If you are hungry for novel puzzle games, and don't mind them being short, it's not a bad choice. Especially if it's on sale. But it's not a must-get.

Rehtona is a small but well thought puzzle game in which you must collect jigsaw puzzle pieces by moving boxes and using a number of mechanisms to traverse the somewhat labyrinth-like levels. These levels are composed of 2 different worlds or dimensions in which different objects have different properties. The puzzles aren't excruciatingly hard, but can be rather tough at times, specially if you are trying to get all the collectibles for the true ending. As for the visuals, they have a pretty charming pixel art aesthetic which I, even though I am not fond in low res pixel art, enjoyed throughout the game.
