So Fart Away

[b]8/10[/b] An excellent sokoban in which you don’t push boxes, but clouds made out of your… 100% organic oddly odorous outbursts. [b]What is it:[/b] A puzzle game in which you must eat all the food but avoid at all cost all the gaseous consequences of your ingurgitation. You’ve just been hired as a food critic by the mysterious Cornelius L., and your first assignment is sampling all the spicy tacos at La Pimenta Gastronomic Fair. But the thing is that your family suffers from an illness called Fartus Fartalis, eating spicy food makes you produce deadly gasses. Literally deadly! If you engulf anybody in your fatal fumes, they die! People die, flowers wilt, food rots, so you have to be careful and manage your flatulence to avoid all disasters. But lucky for you, through years of practice you’ve become a master airbender, you can wave your arms in such an intricate way as to be able to push around pockets of foul air without dispersing any unwanted smells. Can you waft your way through the entire exhibition without killing anyone (other than a few unlucky plants), and maybe even find love? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368611 The unique premise makes way for interesting mechanics. While in normal sokobans the goal is usually to put boxes on specific target spots, here the goal is to get the “boxes” out of the way, keeping them away from people and food. As gas, you can easily push multiple clouds at once, and you can even compact them into super stinkers. Each type of food makes its own type of gas pattern, with three foods to experiment with. Although not too many, the extra mechanics keep the game fresh for more than a hundred levels, with some really tricky puzzles near the end. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368250 Peppered throughout there are some dialog levels, adding more to the story, and there are a few different characters you will encounter on your journey, guards, luchadores, an old gardener, and a few ladies. Overall, it’s a well rounded game with unique mechanics, good puzzles, a funny story, good looks and sounds, ideal for those who want a little more in their puzzle games than just puzzle solving. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368483 [b]How hard is it:[/b] Easy to moderately hard, ★★★☆☆. The levels are small enough that you’re never left to wander through a much too big solution space. [b]How long is it:[/b] 119 levels, 3-6 hours, with some optional levels. You can skip as many levels as you want, and you can unlock all the levels at once. [b]Level design:[/b] Great. Pretty unique levels, with humorous names that sometimes give you a clue, although a few of them are variations on the same theme with just a few items shifted. [b]Quality:[/b] Good enough. Unlimited undo, though not through restarts. Good [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368334]level select[/url]. Progress reset. Basic controls, works with keyboard and controller. Lovely pixel graphics and music, and lots of foley sounds. A [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368540]decent story[/url], quite funny dialog. A few [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3440368434]audio and video settings[/url]. No cloud saving yet, but the devs are working on it. Good achievements. Small, fast and responsive. [b]Worth the price:[/b] Yes. [b]Most positive aspect for me:[/b] Unique mechanics. [b]Most negative aspect for me:[/b] Too short, I need more! [b]What would make it better:[/b] Custom level editor and workshop support. Undo through restarts. Configurable controls. Cloud saving.

《So Fart Away》是一款...很有“味道”的推箱解谜游戏。 既然本作的标题都不避讳，那我也就不那么委婉了：本作的核心创意就在于主角的“[b]放屁[/b]”（Fart）机制。在机制中包含这种不太文雅的行为的解谜游戏有《[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1752730/Billy_Bumbum_A_Cheeky_Puzzler/]Billy Bumbum[/url]》一个，我都觉得挺神奇了，没想到还有一个，而且相比《Billy Bumbum》还更有“画面感”。不过由于我担心这个词出现频率太高会让Steam自动检测系统觉得我在通篇骂人，所以之后还是会选择更委婉的说法。 具体而言，当主角吃到关卡中的食物时，他会立刻在身后产生绿色的有毒气体，而这些气团在逻辑上就是可以推的“箱子”。每一关的目标是让主角[b]吃掉关卡中所有食物后[/b]抵达终点，可以看出，虽然最终的目标是“抵达终点”，但在这个过程中产生的有毒气体才是过关的真正阻碍，因为它不仅挡路，而且还会对食物造成化学污染，甚至会毒死人。因此，就算本作的解谜目标不是传统的“把箱子推到正确位置”，如何把控这些气体“箱子”的位置仍然是过关的关键。 在[url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/weinima233/recommended/1752730]我对《Billy Bumbum》的评测[/url]中我说过，那款游戏其实并没有必要选择用这种方式来包装它的逻辑机制，然而对于本作，虽然我很不想承认，但现在这种表现方式好像确实是最直观的方式之一了。我觉得开发者很有可能是先在选题方面有了相关灵感，然后顺藤摸瓜探索出了这套解谜机制，怎么说呢，虽然“灵感来源于生活”这句话是没错，但它是让你们从这种地方汲取灵感吗（（（ 好吧，虽然设定很离谱，而且本作利用这个设定搞“幽默”的度对我来说也有点过了，但本作作为解谜游戏的设计还是相当扎实的。谜题设计意图清晰，解法也比较有趣，还有几个谜题甚至用“耍”你（也就是错误引导）的方式来让你学习新机制。不过要说本作最让我惊喜的点，应该还是[b]机制延伸的自然性[/b]。“自然”的机制既可以增加新的可以考虑的问题，又不会和已有机制完全搭不上边，而想出“自然”的机制也有很多方法，下面以本作的几个机制为例，列出几种可能的延伸思路： 比如，如果你注意到，之前所说的都是气体带来的[b]限制[/b]，那么你可能会想到，一切事物都有两面性，而同时具有“限制”和“可能性”两面的解谜机制也通常都是更有意思、能被探索得更深的机制。因此，引入能让气体发挥作用的机制可以是一个可以探索的方向，那么“[b]只能用气体摧毁的障碍[/b]”就是一种很直接的机制延伸，可以进一步产生“如何将气体移到障碍上”或者“如何[b]避免[/b]把气体浪费在障碍上”这样的问题。这就是“[b]反向思考[/b]”，一种可能的设计机制延伸的思路。本作第8大关引入的“[spoiler]香水气团[/spoiler]”也可以看作这种思路的另一种体现。 在第7大关，本作引入了[spoiler]走过后变成“主角无法经过的墙”的地块[/spoiler]，这种“单行道”机制在推箱解谜中并不少见，但本作注意到：“[spoiler]谁规定了这地块踩过之后只能变成墙？难道就不能是其它东西吗[/spoiler]？”，于是新世界的大门一下就打开了，随着和旧机制的组合，新的交互如同涌泉一般被源源不断地造出来，既提供了大量的可能性，又不能算作全新的机制，设计一个机制相当于设计了好几个机制，事半功倍。这就是另一种可能的设计机制延伸的思路：“[b]寻找通配[/b]”，也就是寻找新机制中可以利用旧机制进行推广的部分。这种设计思路让我想起《[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1706090/Bean_and_Nothingness/]Bean and Nothingness[/url]》中的一种怪物：[spoiler]可以复制其它生物的Blob[/spoiler]。 如何将这些可能性和有趣的问题转化成谜题当然也需要仔细的尝试，但有了更细致的方向，想必思考具体的谜题会更容易一些。同时，这里列举出来的肯定也不是全部的设计思路，我本人也不是设计师，还是权当抛砖引玉。 总而言之，本作虽然有一个奇怪的核心设定，但种种机制的设计非常自然，自然到我甚至会懊恼“我怎么就没想到”（当然实际上这很正常，我本人并没有亲自设计解谜游戏的经验）。谜题设计也很不错，难度不算高，但也需要思考。综上所述，我可以给出如下结论： [b]强烈推荐[/b]。 [quote]普通玩家一枚，关注独立精品。不是为了特立独行，只是为了追求自我。 喜欢我的评测？欢迎关注我的[b]鉴赏家[/b]：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44752532/]老船长OldCaptain[/url]，推荐一些我个人觉得有特点的游戏。 若还想了解更多游戏相关信息分享，敬请关注我的[url=https://wise-farmhouse-ac9.notion.site/OldCaptainWZJ-16df304725d580a0a767d6ed91ddc41c]个人主页[/url]，包含我组织的游戏推荐数据库等内容。[/quote]

Difficulty : 2/5 (Normal) Global : 3/5 (Very Good) Curator page : [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44695991-Anokturnus/]Anokturnus[/url] So Fart Away is a humorous sokoban puzzle game. You're Linguini, a poor fellow that accepted the food-critic job his new boss Cornelius offered him... and quickly regretted it. Linguini descends from a long line of giant-butted extreme farters affected by an illness called Fartus Fartalis. Spicy food especially becomes a dangerous weapon, as Linguini emits dreadful poisonous clouds of death each time he eats some. And guess the name of the gastronomic festival he has to cover? La Pimenta. Yeah, that's rough. Each puzzle has food scattered around, you need to eat everything for the exit to unlock. The fart pattern is different depending on the type of food you eat, tacos leave a line of maximum 3 clouds behind you while donuts surround you with clouds. Nothing can stand in your toxic deflagrations : the flowers wither, people die (I have to say, watching people scream and melt in your fart is funny), eating soiled food is out of the question, and, of course, Linguini can't go inside. Fortunately, you can still push those clouds. So you either need to get them out of the way or cleverly use them to make flowers wither, as flowers are used as a way of blocking the path. The difficulty is balanced, the puzzles are so small and the mechanics so few and basic that you can't really struggle much on the puzzles (though some of them still get a bit hard). The puzzle design is high quality. It makes use of the classic thinking you encounter in all the very good sokoban games, with an emphasis on the lack of room. The game even manages to offer a lot of variety despite the mechanics being scarce, which proves their potential was finely exploited. It's not the first time I say that, but So Fart Away is exactly what I expect from a sokoban. Aside from a few typos, there's nothing bad to report. A gaseous yet very solid game, recommended.

Fun Sokoban-style game where you make your own obstacles and push them around. This quirky indie title follows the misadventures of Linguini, a food-loving, money-hungry guy cursed with an unusual family trait: the inability to eat spicy food without producing noxious fart clouds. When Linguini lands a job as a food critic assistant, he believes he’s hit the jackpot—until he realizes that it involves spicy tacos. The core gameplay revolves around solving small, grid-based puzzles where the exit only opens after gobbling up all the food. The catch? Each bite releases three stinky fart clouds from Linguini’s rear end. To make matters worse, these putrid puffs can’t touch other food, innocent bystanders, or any other fragile objects. The crux of the challenge lies in positioning yourself and your farts in such a way that they’re pushed into harmless corners or stacked up against walls to minimize their spread. Ingeniously, the clouds can be pushed around once released. You can even pile clouds on top of one another to clean up the room, but this requires walls or other solid objects. One of the game’s greatest feature is its forgiveness. A single press of the undo button lets you go back one step at a time. You’ll need it too, as it’s all too easy to inadvertently block your own exit with a fart cloud. What makes the game particularly clever is how it respects your time. You don’t have to complete every single puzzle to reach the final level. After solving certain rooms, the path often branches into multiple routes, giving you the freedom to skip some stages. Completionists will be pleased to know that solving all puzzles rewards you with achievements—though nothing else tangible, as the game has no collectibles or extras. The game’s journey spans eight chapters with 105 puzzles in total. While chapters don’t introduce brand-new mechanics one after another, they still manage to keep you on your toes with occasional twist. One mechanic involves plants that need to be "killed" with fart clouds. The number of flowers in a pot indicates how many clouds are required to fully neutralize it, with the gas vanishing on contact.

おならがメインギミックの倉庫番。このギミックが独特で、最後まで面白かったなーという良い作品。ちょっと類問が多い印象ではあるけれど、しっかりデザインされてます。 各パズルのタイトルが様々なパズルゲームのパロディになってたりするのですが難易度はそこまで高くないので、気を張らずに楽しみましょう。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEtU13gLx6s

A sokoban game with crazy good mechanics, with a tight lighthearted storyline that doesn't overstays its welcome and good humour from top to bottom! If you want to "learn the intricacies of farting" and solve low stakes, laidback puzzles, this is the game for you

I usually don't like puzzle games but i was pleasantly surprised by So Fart Away! I haven't finished the game yet (~15h of gameplay at the moment), but I'm near the end. There aren't many mechanics and they are easy to grasp, the levels are not convoluted, and yet it is a really challenging game. The puzzles are also smart, you don't feel tricked in any way, and basically every level makes you have a "eureka" moment, which is awesome. The story is spot on for this type of game IMO, it is simple, doesn't take much screen time, it is interesting, and has a touch of humor that I enjoy. Speaking of which, the jokes are funny, it isn't a bunch of dad jokes as I was expecting lol. Poor Linguini has to fart so much... In short, the game is worth the money, even the double if you ask me. For 120+ well though out levels, yeah, well worth it! Shout out to the devs, game's fun and it's noticeable the work you guys put into it.

Esse jogo é um verdadeiro estouro! 💨 Cada mecânica foi bem fermentada, resultando em uma experiência explosivamente divertida. Os controles são lisos como um pum silencioso, e o level design é puro gás de criatividade. A trilha sonora então? Um verdadeiro sopro de frescor! E os personagens? Cheios de personalidade e arrojados. Se você gosta de desafios que não te deixam respirar, esse jogo vai te prender como um elevador lotado após um bufão inesperado. No geral, é um jogo que não deixa a peteca cair... só o nível de oxigênio! 💨🔥

This is a fun and light-hearted puzzle game with a story that will undoubtedly make you laugh, after all, fart humor will never not be funny. Aside from the main storyline there are some extra optional puzzles that will definitely make you think, the puzzles never feel stale since new mechanics are frequently introduced every few levels.

[h1]An absolute blast! 💨💥[/h1] So Fart Away is a brilliant puzzle game with a hilariously unique concept—farts! The execution is spot on, making it both fun and surprisingly challenging. I highly recommend it to everyone! Beyond being a great game, it was also the first one that managed to captivate my niece's attention, and we had a blast playing together. That alone made it totally worth it. Huge thumbs up to the developers! 👍🎮
