Prickle brings minimalist, Sokoban-style puzzles with hedgehogs to mobile

• Prickle is a new hedgehog-based Sokoban-style puzzler coming to iOS and Android
• Navigate complex mazes and return your hoglets home
• But be careful, gather too many and you'll be stuck in place

One of the rare pleasures when you write about gaming is to have something so clear and straightforward that the words practically spill onto the keys. And Prickle is one such case, with this Sokoban-style puzzler that's out right now on iOS and Android!

Having already released to critical acclaim on PC, Prickle is a new entry in the Sokoban genre. Basically translating to warehouse keeper (take that with a grain of salt), it's all about stacking boxes, moving them and using the limited space given to you in clever ways.

In Prickle, the challenge is to navigate dense mazes as Dadhog in order to collect your rambunctious Hoglets and return them home by getting to an exit door. The only issue is that you have to grab and move them while pivoting around obstacles. Nab too many at once and you're stuck, so you'll need to plan your moves carefully to get them around each maze and return them home.

Sokoban-tastic

Of course, the only issue with Prickle is that it's so straightforward it's hard to elaborate on. The graphics are that cosy type of hand-drawn artwork with comfortingly cute characters moving around a simple monochromatic world. The puzzles are difficult but fair, with simple mechanics that slowly branch out to be even more complex, to the point that it promises to put even hardened puzzle veterans to the test.

Boasting 48 levels across four seasons, Prickle offers plenty of content for the most discerning puzzle veteran, ensuring you'll have plenty of Sokoban-style puzzles to enjoy.
