Prickle Launches Minimalist Hedgehog Puzzle Game

• Prickle is a charming new hedgehog-themed Sokoban puzzle game now available on iOS and Android.
• Navigate intricate mazes to guide your lost hoglets safely back home.
• But be cautious; gather too many at once and you risk getting completely stuck.

One of the great joys of writing about games is encountering a concept so clear and direct that the words almost write themselves. Prickle is exactly that kind of game—a fresh Sokoban-style puzzler that has just launched for iOS and Android.

Having already earned critical praise on PC, Prickle offers a smart new take on the classic Sokoban formula. The name roughly translates to "warehouse keeper," and the gameplay revolves around strategically pushing and stacking objects within tight spaces to solve each puzzle.

In Prickle, you play as Dadhog, tasked with navigating compact mazes to gather your energetic Hoglets and guide them to an exit door. The challenge lies in maneuvering them around obstacles while carrying them. If you pick up too many at a time, you’ll be unable to move, so careful planning is essential to escort each one through the maze and home safely.

A Sokoban Delight

If there’s any downside to Prickle, it’s that its elegance makes it hard to describe in great detail. The visuals feature a cozy, hand-drawn art style with endearing characters moving through a simple, monochromatic world. The puzzles are tough but fair, built on straightforward mechanics that gradually evolve into greater complexity, promising to test even seasoned puzzle enthusiasts.

With 48 levels spread across four distinct seasons, Prickle delivers substantial content for dedicated puzzle players, ensuring hours of engaging Sokoban-style challenges.
