Our take on Newton Going Home
The route-building format keeps attention on compact tile puzzles, but sacrifices broader exploration and character development. Its fixed level structure also offers less freedom than an open-ended island adventure.
What is Newton Going Home?
Guide Newton, a kitten separated from its owner, through an island maze to a kiosk where the owner is waiting.
Rearrange six-sided tiles to create a connected path, linking food along the route so Newton can arrive without going hungry. Natural features such as rivers and mountains, along with bridges, complicate the tile arrangement. The game offers 52 individually built stages spread over five island settings, each adding further gameplay elements. Camera orientation can be changed using the right mouse button. It also provides original audio, adjustable graphics options, Steam Cloud support, and Steam Achievements.
