      I admire Dungeon and Puzzles for how efficiently made it is. It's a sokoban puzzle game about fighting through dungeons, and it's made predominantly by one person with art pulled from this $10 sprite tilset[sic – meaning tileset]. […] It's lovely, basically. Dungeon And Puzzles is a simple game, but it's thoroughly charming, one of the better sokobans I've played, and it costs all of £5.79/€8/$8 on Steam.
