Our take on Sokobalien
The pitch centers on building a galactic farm, but the described play is about pushing animals into matching UFO beams. The farm framing is thematic; progression comes through 100 puzzle levels, with hats unlocked using coins earned after levels.
What is Sokobalien?
Sokobalien is a top-down puzzle game with Sokoban-inspired movement.
Use arrow keys, a mouse, or both to move cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and other objects across 100 handcrafted stages. Guide each animal toward the UFO beam area assigned to its type; animals that do not correspond to a beam are blocked from entering. Additional animal and object behaviors appear as the stages advance. Players can restart levels without limit and reverse previous moves. Completing stages grants coins, which can be spent on over 30 collectible hats. The game also contains achievements.
