I’m a sucker for a clever indie puzzler, so naturally Sushi for Robots looks quite nice, doesn’t it? It’s a simple premise, the robots are obsessed with some sushi and you’ve got to serve it to them by setting up the weird conveyors they eat from. It’ll release in Spring of 2023, but we know a bit about it now, and I like how that looks.
It’s a solution-driven puzzle game, one where you use the tools available to you in order to customize the outcome: This one is stickers, which let you place new effects on the board.
“It’s actually a pretty chill game. You can always press reset and try a different solution,” says the description.
Sushi For Robots will be mouse-based for accessibility, and will focus on experimentation-based puzzling. That’s a style more familiar to theZachtronicsschool of design, where there are many solutions to a given puzzle using your tools, some of which are more optimal than others—to me, at least, the most satisfying kind of puzzle.
Sushi for Robots is made by indie developerLuis Diaz Peralta, alongside art and music contributions from a few others, under the name Ludipe & Friends. You can findSushi for Robots on Steam, where it plans to release in Spring of 2023.
