A logic game, in which the player’s task is to press all of the buttons that have been displayed on the 3D objects. This relatively simple concept is transformed into a challenge due to the lack of any hint system. The key to success in the case of most puzzles is to find the order, in which certain buttons must be pressed, or to discover the meaning of the symbols, that have been connected to the buttons.

Technical aspects

PUSH is a minimalistic logic game developed by the Polish indie developer named Rainbow Train, and more precisely – by Maciej Targoni and Michal Pawlowski, the creators of thematically similar productions, as well as a game titled HOOK.

Mechanics

The basic gameplay mechanics that you will encounter in PUSH do not count amongst the most convoluted. The player’s task is to press all of the buttons which appear on the 3D objects. This is made more difficult by the fact, that, over time, the game starts to introduce new challanges, e.g. demanding that you discover the meaning of the symbols, which have been connected to the buttons, or by setting a specific order in which the buttons must be pressed in order to solve the puzzle. The complete lack of any hint system is also an additional obstacle for the player to overcome, as well as the lack of a point counter and timer. This means, that during the playthrough the player is left alone with a set of puzzles, which he/she may solve in any order.

Technical aspects

Minimalism is also one of the characteristics of the graphical aspects of PUSH, where the visuals are distinguished by simplicity. Furthermore, the gameplay experience is made whole by the addition of a soothing soundtrack.
