Puzzledorf is a fun way to exercise your brain whilst immersing yourself in the vibrant, 2D art.  What Makes It Unique Classic Sokoban uses just one block type. In Puzzledorf, there are different coloured blocks that must reach matching coloured targets, and movable boulders that block your path. Moving them around tight spaces creates a unique challenge that sets Puzzledorf apart. In one puzzle, the blue and green blocks start on opposite sides of a narrow corridor. The solution? A careful swap: shuffling them past each other with almost no room. Clean rules, clever setups, and solutions that just click. STEAM USER REVIEWS 'I was motivated enough to 100% it.
