\"\"<\/a>There is a genre of game called \u201cSokoban\u201d in Japan and you\u2019ve probably played a game like this, or at least as a puzzle in a dungeon or whatnot.\u00a0 Any game where you push blocks to certain spaces to solve puzzles can be called \u201cSokoban.\u201d\u00a0 So here\u2019s one called SokoFrog where you control a frog pushing around blocks.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Controls are simple.\u00a0 Just use the d-pad to move around your frog.\u00a0 You\u2019ll automatically push blocks you move up against, and you can push multiple blocks in a direction, too.\u00a0 To finish a level, you must push a block with a shape on it to a tile on the floor with the same shape.\u00a0 Since you can push other blocks off pits or destroy them in obstacles, this actually makes the game a bit easier and is perfect for Sokoban beginners.<\/p>\n

There are 150 stages in all, so quite a bit to do.\u00a0 Each set of about 20 stages or so has a different theme with specific obstacles for you to overcome.\u00a0 For instance, the beach levels have water, sinking lily pads, and view blocking beach umbrellas.\u00a0 The ice levels will make your blocks slip when you push them, and they won\u2019t stop until they hit a wall.\u00a0 The dark cave levels have limited view and Bomberman style explosives you can push around.\u00a0 Castle stages have tall blocks you can push into pits to create a path.\u00a0 On certain stages, you can even unlock new frogs to play as.\u00a0 They don\u2019t play any differently, but if you want to be a frog of a different color, or wearing sunglasses, there you go.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t find much at fault with this game.\u00a0 I guess some may consider it too easy and the music could\u2019ve been better.\u00a0 But I liked the retro styled graphics and gameplay, so I didn\u2019t think it was bad at all.\u00a0 Just a fun simple puzzler.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing too violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Your frog can fall into pits, get frozen in ice, or caught in an explosion.\u00a0 But your frog just usually just shakes its head and you start the level over.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed to play, and it may be considered somewhat educational since you use logic and thinking skills.\u00a0 SokoFrog is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
