Dumb Little Robots

Smart little puzzler. Rules are extremely simple, yet the difficulty is good and tricky and increases towards the end. It's not the hardest puzzler out there, but it's no walkover. Very basic (and clean) interface, but it doesn't need anything else. Update: Has an editor now, although levels are currently only shared via cutting and pasting an encoded text block. I made some [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1896720/discussions/0/3492006259508901502/]custom levels[/url] if you run out of official ones.

[b]A sarcastic devilish puzzler that leaves me stumped on occasion[/b] Often, I will have to comeback to a level after failing to beat it only to have that "Eureka!" moment and kick myself for not thinking of the answer earlier. Thankfully, puzzles come in batches so that you are not stuck "spinning your wheels" too long. Great little game and at a two dollar price tag, you are getting more than you are paying for.

I like it, and I'm not even usually into sliding puzzles! It can work on Linux as long as you use the Proton compatibility layer (I picked Proton Experimental, and that worked great).

Full disclosure: I received the product for free since I tested the game extensively and still see the newer builds before they push. I would say it may make me a little biased but I will say I still think it's more than worth the price especially now with the stage builder. I'm aware it says 1.9 hours on record, I haven't played on the official release a lot. The game took me around 5 hours to complete if we don't count the time I spent thinking about some puzzles at work. I was going to make a list of pros and cons but I honestly don't have any major gripes that aren't bug related. So here's a list of just pros: -A good twist on classic shokuban -51 levels with 6 being tutorials. There are no on screen prompts or any annoying cut-scenes that walk you through it. -The difficulty really ramps up near the end which I don't usually get out of basic shokuban games -Some of the puzzles are so well made that when I replay them a month later I tend to forget the solution. They're not so confusing that you have to blindly try to solve it (which is hard to do anyway with the way this game works), and they aren't so easy I can just look at it and solve it immediately. They are probably some of the best designed puzzles I've played in a while. -The hint bot is very snarky and lovable without being a total waste of time. -There is a level creator. A much appreciated for community feature in any puzzle game. So uhhh, yeah. Good game. I'd put it up there next to other staple shokuban games like Baba Is You even if it doesn't have the same mind blowing moments. It's just that good.
