Fresh Milk For Mars

It's a really cute game. I think I'm a bit over halfway done with the game, and the difficulty has definitely started to pick up compared to the early game. Also, I love the way that some of the mechanics (the ramps / hay bales / others) interact with one another. Definitely worth a buy.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the progress made in the demo has been taken into account in the final version. The game is both interesting and moderately complex, with a visually pleasing design. The inclusion of a cute assistant adds to the overall charm of the game.

Fresh Milk for Mars is a sokoban where instead of pushing, you... pull(!?) cows into tractor beams to abduct them! Initially the game doesn't wear its unique mechanics on its sleeve, and comes off as a rather rudimentary sokoban with pulling instead of pushing. However, as the game progresses, it starts adding new mechanics that take advantage of the premise of the player character being an alien spaceship! For example, allowing you to temporarily hover off the stage and pull objects with you and special tiles that you can't move onto but cows and hay bales can! These mechanics are when the more clever level designs start to show up. Not only do these additions help add some neat tricks and clever design space for the game, but much of the finnickiness one might expect from an almost only-pulling sokoban is missing! By adding an extra dimension to move around in, the game removed much of the constraints that make pulling-sokoban frustrating while adding new constraints of its own that make puzzles fun and clever. It is rarely significantly difficult, and admittedly it is rather low-key in what new additions it makes so it can feel a bit on the more mundane side of puzzle games, but for a rare example of a pulling-sokoban done thoroughly well, it is a relaxing, consistently clever, well-made, and fully enjoyable game. I've played through about half the game in a single seating and have little intention of stopping!

有部分关卡好像有非预期解，有没用到的关卡部分或者道具 不过总体设计挺不错的，有点像stephen's sausage roll

It's a delightful and simple sokoban. The mechanics are fun and the solutions aren't ever too much of a chore. I would say most of the game can be done in 2 sessions and about a handful of levels that are pretty hard.

香肠卷！

倉庫番系パズル。全100問。 程良い難易度に次々と登場する新要素で最後まで楽しく遊べました。 幾つかの難問(全体マップで赤枠で表示されるもの)は「そんなのアリかよ」「いやまあ確かに理には適っているけど……」という発想を求められますが、ゲーム内のヒント機能を利用すれば解けないことはないはず。 このゲーム内のヒント機能が特徴的で、なんと3種類もあります(実質的には2種類)。 [list] [*]tips — どんなパズルゲームにも通用する共通の小技。 [*]help — 現在の問題に関するざっくりした説明ベースのヒント。解の方向性を絞り込むのに役立つこともあれば、「そのぐらい既に気付いとるがな」となることも。 [*]hints — 現在の問題の想定解の途中経過のスクショ。問題によっては複数枚用意されている。「火星からダウンロードする」というフレーバーなので読み込みに時間が掛かる(プログレッシブJPEG風の表示になる)のが面白く、粗い画像の段階で答えを閃いたら途中で閉じれるのが味噌。 [/list] 必要に応じて段階的に解に近付ける形になっており、特にhelpが「直接的過ぎない丁度良い塩梅のヒント」なのが良かったです。 何より、アシスタントのMeadowちゃんがとにかくかわいいのが魅力。 新要素が登場する度に盛り上げてくれますし、helpもMeadowちゃんが話す形です。 たとえhelpの内容が「それは既に知っとるがな」と思うものであっても、Meadowちゃんの言うことなので許せました。
