I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩 This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace. www.ludipe.com/2025/08/18/i...

Kiko's Apple Adventure⁣ by @chao-c.bsky.social, a sokoban puzzle game [PC] Kiko the bear has one goal: bake the biggest apple pie ever! Send apples home on rafts and outsmart the lands and critters in your way. #indiegame

Hello #PitchYaGame! Kiko's Apple Adventure 🍎 is a cute puzzle game where you push apples onto floating rafts and trick your goofy enemies! 🧩 bite-sized puzzles 🐻 cartoony graphics 🎵 playful sounds 🍎 apple pie Kiko released 1 week ago on Steam and itch! store.steampowered.com/app/2916300/...

My visual processing is so busted today. Until I read the description, I thought the bear on a raft was a three-armed cyclops with floppy ear, a wild mane of red hair, and tiny nub horns like a giraffe's ossicones, flailing around with its head above the water

Just tried out this cute puzzle game earlier today, only had a chance to play for about 15mins, but enjoyed it! I really like how it combines sliding puzzle with classic box pushing. You have to put the apples on the rafts, where the apples are box-pushing and the rafts are sliding. Very satisfying
