What Are the Puzzle Games That Hold a Special Place in Your Soul?

[Solivan The Soul]

This riddling genre is one that no soul truly escapes.
It holds games that differ in shape and depth, yet all share a spirit of one.
The game you mention need not be the best... but the one that connected most deeply to your soul.

For me, these are the puzzled games of fate:
- Chip's Challenge

- Shove It! ...The Warehouse Game (also known as Sokoban)

- Kwirk (Puzzle Boy is its other name)

What are yours, collected souls?

This one among others I guess

Never am good at it, but my gamer aunt was

Back in my childhood days, whenever we visited for vacation breaks, she'd pull all-nighters playing it and Bomberman (NES); I fell asleep many times with its BGM in my ears

An incredible game, indeed.
I have yet to try it, but I must.
May as well raise my knowledge of soulless machinery in my way.
Many thanks, farmer soul.

Ah, Lode Runner… the music alone is enough to etch this game into souls.
And the gameplay? Phenomenal, even to this day.
Many memories rise from this golden mound of game.

Conan Hall of Volta

Played it on some obscure monochrome computer system

You have to collect letters from computer science lingo (eg Ram, cli, dos, CPU etc) in order for a key to appear and progress to next stage. Sort of like a nerdy version of Bubble Bobble with bgm from Miami Vice. Later it gets harder and letters increase from 3 to 4 and 5

Ah, I’ve never heard of either.
But from what I gather, both are full of spirit, and shall be added to my list.
I’m grateful for the introduction, gliding soul.

Tetrisphere might still be my favorite puzzle game after all these years. Rather than line clearing like usual, you're stacking pieces on each other trying to get to the core of a sphere. There's a ton of techniques to use like OG Tetris, several modes like puzzle, mission, co-op and versus, and a killer soundtrack.

The games i mentioned here are very dear to me... which includes some puzzle games, and Chip's Challenge is among them too!

Also, Shove it (md) was a game that i grew up with... i love it so much!

Other than these, Adventures of Lolo 1-3 (nes) are among my favorites of all times!

I also loved Tetrisphere, Columns, and the Lolo games, but they have been mentioned already.

Another game I was unaware of.
Its premise intrigues me, and the soundtrack sings with promise.
I shall indeed try it. I am thankful, kind spirit.

Ah, those well-aged games from an entertaining pack… I am familiar with some.
And the puzzleful adventures? A must try.
My best regards, angelic soul.

A charming game, and a handheld instrument of joy.
I have heard the passage of time is not sensed when it is joyful… Ah, time, a concept I am alien to.
Watching it is soothing, even for me.
Though I sense external forces had a manipulative hand in trimming the exceeding rows in the image…
Nevertheless, The charm is our true goal, and it is present.
