puzzle castrum [browser]

Slide blocks to make your way into a big castle in the puzzle game Puzzle Castrum by Carlos Martínez de Celis. Note: the Z-key is your friend to undo moves, but don't use the R-key as it resets the game completely.

  1. Let me be the FIRST to say "Nice game."

  2. In general, pretty fun and the mechanics are solid

    Pushing a block out to the next level feels like cheating, or at least dangerous, don't think I've seen that mechanic before

  3. Referring to last comment:
    Some games have a lot of back tracking & replaying this way.
    They make you fill holes, or make bridges between islands.

  4. Nice game, though it didn't seem the levels got harder as I would expect. There were a couple rooms near the end that were almost "automatic", in the sense that you had only one possible move at each step.

    Yeah, I guess for a holistic puzzle; this one was very level-based, and the blocks you brought in from previous levels didn't actually ever matter? (I really wonder why resetting per level wasn't possible?)
