Dr. Kobushi's Labyrinthine Laboratory

I originally bought the game because fearofdark made the OST and puzzle games can be pretty cool! Now I'm playing it so the music keeps my rage within.

If you want a puzzle game that really excercises your mind, then Dr.Kobushi's is for you. It really makes you think outside the box with it's turn based grid puzzles.

I'm 40 levels in, so this review may change as I get further, but this has been a really pleasant puzzle game. I was put off by a few "HARDEST PUZZLE GAME EVER?!" comments, and that made me hold off on playing it for a long time. But the puzzles are honestly pretty straightforward if you've played Sokoban games before. This game makes the correct path pretty straightforward to figure out, but also doesn't force you into super specific movement patterns like some of the more hardcore Sokoban games. The writing is enjoyable, and the soundtrack is excellent. If you liked Chip's Challenge, or like Alan Hazelden's puzzles but wish they were a bit more approachable, this will probably be right up your alley.
