Tile types:

-Ice. These tiles are the standard ones, Zenko slides on them and doesn't stop until he hits either a wall, a creature tile, or the goal.

-Walls. These tiles are crucial in solving the maze since they are the ones he hits and stops sliding.

-Start. Zenko Starts in a position which turns into a statue once Zenko does his first dash. Don't forget to try to use this statue as a wall when looking for solutions on each maze sliding puzzle! You can only move creature tiles when Zenko is in it's starting tile.

-Goal. Once Zenko reaches the goal he will go to a new level. The trick to getting to the goal is to use the creature tiles to your advantage by placing them in the right place and use them as walls or direction changers.

-Holes. Zenko will fall and will be reset!

-Small flower. You can't place any creature tiles on these tiles You slide just like ice over them. They're a sign of a spring to come, hopefully faster with Zenko's help!

-Fragile. You can go over these tiles once, then they break and turn into holes, becoming a hazard to avoid sliding into. If Zenko stops on one of these fragile tiles, he will fall with it!

Creature types:

-Pedro. Pedro works as a movable wall. Position him accordingly to enhance the board with a strategically placed wall that will help Zenko the fox through the maze.

-Icarus. Icarus have a fixed direction they are facing. When you go through the tile right in front of them, they will change your sliding direction. Otherwise they work as a wall when you run into them from the sides or back.

-Pedro Seed. A bag containing a Pedro, works as a normal tile for the first time, then a Pedro is spawned from it.

-Icarus Seed. A bag with a fixed direction. Works as a normal tile to begin with, then when you slide over it it becomes an Icarus!

-Tanuki. Twins with a portal on their bellies.

Ratings and reviews

Good puzzle game, downloaded from hearing your ad on VORW. Recommendations: 1. Please auto redirect users to the main menu after they purchase the No Ad package. I bought the package but remained on the ad purchase screen. 2. Impossible to get 3 stars on Level 1-4. 3. Perhaps have the green bar start fully green and gradually deplete with each swipe (instead of how it gets greener currently). That would be clearer.

I bought the no-ad package after hearing an advert on the VORW radio show. This is a great game, simple concepts but challenging enough to keep replaying. One nice-to-have would be some kind of cached offline mode for the past Puzzles of the Day? Obviously you need to be online to get the latest one, but if the app could download and store the old ones so that they could be replayed, that would be awesome.

Cute puzzle game with some great character twists that add to the challenge & are introduced at the right times. The only ads are those you choose to watch for hints. Sometimes it can be jerky and won't place the characters in the open spot when you're moving them or Zenko slides when trying to move a character so you have to restart, but still has me hooked and I'll be disappointed when I've completed it as I'm on the last world so I hope more worlds are released soon.
