Welcome to Don’t Get Stranded, a beautiful, free puzzle app! Marooned on an island, your monkey's only source of food is too far to reach. Build a path out of the rafts around you, but be careful: one wrong move and you’ll be stranded! Whenever you jump off of a raft, Newton's first and third laws of motion come into play. The raft is forced in the opposite direction, and continues until it hits a wall. You'll have to plan ahead to position every element where you need, to build the enigmatic path to your bananas. You’ll catch on quick, but don’t let the cute graphics fool you—this game features challenges that will test the mental limits of even the best puzzle solvers! Are you clever enough to clear every level? Dress your critters up in silly costumes and listen to the beautiful, jazzy music as you puzzle your way through each level. There are no time limits, so play at your own pace! This game features 144 free levels, from easy little baby levels to nearly impossible challenges that will be bugging your brain for hours.

About

Box Master

Features
Read full description

Box Master is a 3D puzzle game about pushing boxes onto targets. One move at a time, one room at a time — until your brain starts to hurt in the best possible way. It looks simple. It is simple. Then level 30 happens. KEY FEATURES • 155 hand-picked levels from the legendary Microban set • 9 playable characters — knights, skeletons, mages, rogues • Full 3D world with a clean perspective camera • VHS-style rewind: undo any number of moves, no penalty • Hold-to-move controls for fast traversal • Little voice lines and a jump button, just because • Automatic progress saving on every level • Keyboard, touch and gamepad support A LOVE LETTER TO TWO CLASSICS Sokoban was created in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi in Japan and quietly became one of the most influential puzzle games ever made. Nine years later, a small studio called TbiliSoft, working out of Tbilisi, Georgia, released a DOS clone with a national twist — they called it Kurtan, after "kurtani", the rough sack Georgian shepherds used to carry their load. Box Master is a 3D remake that tips its hat to both: the precise, mathematical purity of Sokoban, and the warm, slightly stubborn personality of the post-Soviet clone that taught a generation of kids what "thinking three moves ahead" means. Pure puzzle, no accounts, no clutter — just you, a room, some boxes, and the quiet satisfaction of clicking the last one into place.
