One of my favorite SOKOBAN games. Not too easy, not too hard. Hoping for many sequels!

Recommended! :) Play time at review represents how long it took for me to complete the main campaign and get 100% achievements. I also tried the Cats Love Lasers side quests and gave up partway through. I was working my way through the Devcats catalog. This game showcases super cute cats. I am not particularly good at puzzles, but I was able to steadily make my way through the campaign across multiple short gaming...
A Cozy Puzzle About Cats and Boxes Cats Love Boxes is a simple but charming puzzle game built around one universal truth: cats absolutely love boxes. The premise is lighthearted, the presentation is cute, and the overall experience is designed to be relaxing rather than challenging or stressful. After completing the game in a few hours, I can say it delivers exactly what it promises: a short, cozy puzzle experience...
