About
Yugo Puzzle is a single player puzzle game. It was developed by Qrostar and was released on October 14, 2021. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.
"Yugo Puzzle is a single-player 2D puzzle game featuring sensational mechanics with bouncy jelly blocks. Combine jellies of the same color by dragging them to jump left or right, and unlock new levels by joining all jellies of the same color. With customizable settings, minimal graphics, and the option to discuss levels with friends, Yugo Puzzle provides a unique and engaging puzzle experience."
- Yugo Puzzle features brilliantly clever puzzles that challenge players' assumptions and provide satisfying 'Aha!' moments upon solving.
- The game has a gentle and relaxing presentation with calming visuals and music, making it a pleasant experience while still being challenging.
- The hint system is well-designed, offering limited hints that encourage players to think critically and take breaks when needed.
- Some players find the mechanics repetitive and feel that the game doesn't adequately explain how to use certain mechanics, leading to frustration.
- The advanced and hard puzzles are awkwardly hidden in the settings menu, requiring players to go out of their way to access them.
- The limitation of only three hints per day can be frustrating for players who want to progress more quickly through the challenging puzzles.

The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that evolve into complex and challenging puzzles, reminiscent of titles like "Stephen's Sausage Roll" and "The Witness." Players appreciate the clever level design that gradually reveals new interactions without overwhelming them with rules, allowing for deep reasoning and insight as they progress. While some find the core mechanics repetitive, the overall experience is engaging and rewarding, with a strong emphasis on exploration and problem-solving.
“The developer managed to create a ton of clever puzzles without introducing many new mechanics, instead opting to have the initial movement mechanics interact in interesting ways with new environments (e.g. tunnels, half-tile jellies and walls, or jellies that are connected offscreen).”
“Nearly every puzzle has one (or more!) inflection points where you go from thinking 'this puzzle is clearly impossible' to 'this is easy' to 'oh... wait...' A combination of both reasoning and the occasional insight are necessary to solve levels, but the small space of each puzzle and the small set of mechanics (which gradually expand as the game progresses) makes it reasonable to find new insights when necessary, and makes you feel really good when you are able to reason out solutions using your prior knowledge.”
“Interesting nuances in mechanics just keep unfolding as you play through the game, and it's a thing of beauty.”
“It's all basically just making stairs and bridges, which gets really old really quickly, and they don't really explain or show you the mechanics very well.”
“Mechanics are simple; nothing new is added, but they are squeezed for everything they've got.”
“There's no throwaway levels just to ease you into a mechanic; you are thrown right in the deep end.”
