Pushmania

Easy to grasp concept. Delightful nostalgia. Enormous variety. Jolly co-operation. And a good deal of challenge. And when you feel you've done everything, there's leaderboards and even a full level editor. Definitely recommended for everyone who wants to relive the memories of old school gaming, to tackle engaging puzzles, or to hear a story about two brothers who love games.

Something what on the first sight looks like easy puzzle game, on the second is surprisingly tough game created with original sense for detail. Pushmania itself offers more than 300 (!) levels, each with its own visual style, mechanic and original name (sometimes serves as hint :)). By playing a player is unlocking more and more parts from the story mode, which is paying the tributes to other games you will probably recognize by yourself. Pushmania consist two playable characters who need to cooperate in order to finish the level - working even if you don´t have friends next you. Tested on SteamDeck and working flawlessly. No bugs encountered after couple of hours. Definitely try the demo and then buy the game (worth every cent)!

Great, challenging puzzle game that feels like a classic. The levels get harder as you progress, but it never becomes repetitive. The music is fantastic and adds to the experience. It really captures the spirit of old-school games. An amazing amount of content, whether it's the story or the incredible number of levels.

After completing 89 levels, I can confidently say that Pushmania has completely enchanted me. There is true beauty in simplicity – the minimalist yet precise pixel art, original gameplay mechanics, and wonderful music come together to create a truly unique experience. The game excels at delivering short but intense puzzle challenges, making it easy to dive in and rewarding to overcome. It's also a perfect fit for the Steam Deck, where its accessibility and smooth performance really shine. The team at Kind of Games has done an outstanding job – hats off to them!

An absolute blast. I don't remember when last I had so much fun with a puzzle game. The puzzles are super creative and varied. Some of them feel easy (at first), others really put your abstract thinking to the test. The biggest enjoyment for me comes from the step counter and trying to find the most optimal route. This is aided by the fact that there are always multiple ways to solve each level and the devs hid shortcuts and alternative routes to each map waiting for you to discover. Does it take fewer steps to go around this block with one character or to come seemingly from afar with the other? And while I'm already making the journey, should I take that other block with me? Should I build the bridge where the map tells me to or would that seemingly inaccessible spot among the two trees be actually better? Or should I build a sky-bridge around the map? The possible combinations are endless. And then, when you manage to shave two steps from the previous best, seeing your name in th...

The whole game is like a Hedgehog in the Cage. The brothers turn the spines together, step by step. Solo play is a fair conundrum but the question is: Why not help one another on this lonely journey?

Perfect for Steam Deck. Just one more level while you sit in the bus or train. That feeling of "Ah yes, I get it now!" is rewarding. The game is not too difficult but also not easy. Players of puzzle games will definetely enjoy this one. Its not for causal gamers though. If you are unsure, try the demo. It offers plenty of levels to finish for FREE! That's dozens of hours of fun. And yeah, it's an obvious love letter to the classic Sokoban. I enjoy this game a lot. And so should you ;).

I really like the game and expect to enjoy it for many more hours until I explore it all. Building on the classical Sokoban idea of "pushing the box to the goal", Pushmania adds a great variety to the gameplay. Exploding boxes, floating boxes, traps and teleports, and even dimmable lamps. Levels are neatly arranged into "collections" differing in difficulty, visuals, and mechanics. While playing "thematic" collections, I'm enjoying the puzzles as well as the masterfully done tribute to classical games carried by visuals, specific mechanics and even side-texts within the game. There is also a story mode, smoothly mixing the (hi)story of the game's main characters, NPCs, and even real persons. Meeting the Prince of Persia, Doom Slayer, or Solaire adds an extra push to the fun. The local co-op is quite unique, offering anything from enjoying some relaxing collections together to discussing and solving mind-bending puzzles to speed-running the levels and attacking leaderboards.
