Pilapila

This is a really good puzzle game. It gets very challenging. Now my head hurts and my thinky juice is gone.

This nice puzzle game starts pretty simple: lift blocks and use them to build a way to the portal to get to the next level. Later on you'll be introduced to special blocks with different abilities. In combination with the level structure it becomes quite challenging to reach the goal. In addition you can try to beat the level in as few steps as possible. There are at least 54 levels, I wrote thist review after beating 23 of them. Each levels only takes a few minutes (so far). Nice quality of live features: you can easily restart the level without loading time, you can select levels (or unlocked worlds) from the title screen AND (!) you can redo every step you've done in the level, what is very fair because it prevents you from doing stupid mistakes. And beating a level feels very rewarding. All in all: high recommended.

Pilapila is a nice block-stacking puzzler. It has simple rules which are easy to understand, but complex situations that result in some clever and brain-bending puzzles. As you unlock new worlds, special blocks are added that will either help or hinder your stacking depending on the situation, which keeps the game fresh as you progress. The presentation is minimal, but charming, and has nice animations and effects which make it feel polished. The sound design is pleasant and inoffensive. Overall if you're a fan of puzzles, and especially spatial-reasoning type puzzles, you'll be happy with Pilapila

Simple and fun. Easy to pick up and try to solve a level quickly or sit down for a few minutes to think it through. My only bit of feedback is that it'd be nice to know the par for each course for the gold :)

Fun little game. More complex than it appears on the tin, but some genuinely good and challenging puzzles. My only gripe is tying level unlocks to "perfected" puzzles. Like imagine doing some spring cleaning around the house and your partner is all, "A-ha! Well done, but you needlessly moved a couple boxes around inefficiently, try again." Maybe for some levels with alternative paths, but tying it to every level is for the birds. Good game, regardless.

Pretty simple, but fun puzzle game. Trying to get gold on every level can require a lot of block moving, but other than that the gimmicks were enjoyable. Levels themselves are not too difficult per se, but getting gold on them is a simple way of increasing difficulty. In a way you can choose how you want to play and stick to that, but beating the levels with fewest moves is when I had most of my "aha!" moments. One downsides is that further levels tend to become more complex, rather than more puzzling. Somewhat of a shame, because it feels like the currently available mechanics have more potential than shown.

Pilapila has a simple concept of stacking blocks to create pathways to find a stage exit. The puzzles aren't incredibly difficult (until the later levels) but getting the gold medals are definitely a challenge. One of my favorite things about the game is how quick you move through the interface. Need to go back a turn? Push a button, Need to start a stage over? Push a button. Go into the stage select? Push a button. If you enjoy games like Solomon's Key, Adventures of Lolo, or other similar puzzle games I highly recommend Pilapila.
