What players say
Puddle Knights is so much better than I thought it would be. It has really surprised me! The new mechanics it introduces, such as tearing off cloaks, stepping on heads, and carrying veils, are all fun and interesting. The puzzles are a bit challenging at times, but quite doable with a clear goal and only so many ways you can move. It also looks great, and I appreciate being able to rotate each puzzle a full 360...

Puddle Knights is such an awesome and well designed puzzle game. From the unique and well executed mechanics to the simple yet charming visuals, this is an easy recommend for enjoyers of sokoban and grid based puzzle games.
If you like puzzle games, this is a must-play. Excellent level design that leads you to understand mechanisms and then ratchets up the difficulty. New mechanics with each of the worlds to keep things interesting. Hard enough to be enjoyable but most of the hard puzzles are optional if you just want to try at a lower effort level. Very polished graphics. Good UI. Catchy music. VERY highly recommended! Got 20+ hours...
