Push Puzzle is a logic-puzzle game similar to Sokoban that features sliding blocks instead of wooden crates. Against an arcade-style, two-tone-gray checkered background, the game presents a room with a top-down view as a playfield. The room features off-white walls, open black doorways and a dark gray tile floor. With only a squishy, marshmallow-like block, the player pushes colored blocks through doorways across 50 levels.
The game doesn't allow the player to control the distance they can move the block on the tile floor. Typically, the block only stops when it reaches the same row or column as another block or slides from wall to wall.
The player must think several moves ahead to prevent the white block from pushing a colored one into a corner. Thankfully, if the player positions two colored blocks side by side, the white block can't push the pieces, which can prevent it from accidentally pushing the blocks into a corner or sliding too far to an opposite wall.
Push Puzzle requires the player to reload a level when they make a mistake. That said, it allows them to restart effortlessly without a bump-back-to-the-beginning penalty or payment with coins or ad viewing. Instead, the player simply uses the back-arrow button near the top-right corner to start the level over.
