How it feels

a methodical puzzle game about navigating maze-like levels by pushing crates and detonating bombs with a hint of narrative punishment and redemption.

What players say

Players praise the mixing of Sokoban and Bomberman but are split on the difficulty, with some calling the last levels impossible due to a 5x5 sliding tile puzzle and no checkpoints, while others enjoy the challenge. The lack of an undo or quicksave feature is a common complaint, alongside loading screens on restart.
