Skwish is a short block-pushing puzzle game about getting inside the blocks. Features 25 levels and plays great on both mobile and desktop! Inspired by Baba Is You, Denki Blocks and the monster in Stranger Things 3.

How to play

  • Move around: Use the arrow keys or click/tap in the direction
  • Merge with blobs: Step into a blob to merge with it. The blobs will move with you until they are pressed against a wall.
  • Restart a level: Click the reset button (top-right) or press space
  • Fewest moves wins: Check the level select screen for your high scores 


How to use the level editor

  • Click within the level to place an object
  • Click on a tool icon twice to switch colours
  • Click “play” to preview the level; press the “reset” button to return to the editor
  • Press “save” to download the level as a JSON file
  • Press “load” to restore a previously-saved level

It's amazingly cool!

Very similar to Kwirk (Puzzle Boy) on the Game Boy.

theres a bug in the editor where the wall moves is this in the main levels

W game

how could you beat in 25 level of double agent?

Im asking the same T^T

fun! seems totally original in the "block pushing genre" as far as i'm aware. i got thru the 25 levels. some of the puzzles felt a little loosey-goosey in the sense there seem to be many solutions, which i see as a good thing. it's just surprising, since, in my experience, these types of games tend to be very rigid in the order you're required to do things. thanks for making this!

Thank you!  Reassuring to know new pure puzzle games are still being invented.  This is a nice one.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for building it!  I've done everything but level 25, still fiddling with that one.

Do you publish the JSON for the builtin levels, and/or the spec describing how the JSON encodes a level?

I haven’t yet, no. But if it helps, here’s what the enums in the JSON refer to:

const types = {
  EMPTY: 0,
  WALL: 1,
  GOAL: 2,
  BLOB: 3,
  PAINT: 5,
  SWITCH: 7,
}

const colors = {
  GREEN: 0,
  YELLOW: 1,
}

try my level

Level 13 is so hard, can anybody help? I can't get all the blocks to fill in all 5 of the "x's" at the bottom right. But, fun block puzzle game through.

You nees switch to the middle of the origin block and out to move the remaining block first.

i tested the limits of skwish

Omg I love it!!!!! Please share the json, I have to play this!

alright, just to let you know it is so laggy its basically unplayable (also the background scrolling breaks lol)

I finally got around to playing this! Didn’t get any lag on my computer but that background bug is disconcerting… like a wall about to crush me 😅

Oh also I got stuck in the middle section, maybe I’m not smart enough to solve it???

oh that, didnt get to testing but im pretty good at  not being impossible

you have to go green and then go into the block, and go down like a ladder

then go yellow and go up the ladder, and then go back down

that fills all of the x's im prety sure

heres a written path though, cause its confusing (:

pawprints it wront let me swipe for some odd reason

Oh no sorry about that! I’ll look into it! Can you let me know your OS and browser?

Hello pawprints,

My name is Antonia Gates, I manage the games at CoolmathGames.com. I really enjoyed Skwish and I think it would be a great fit on our site!

I'm writing to ask if the game is available for non-exclusive licensing. Our licenses are totally non-exclusive, so you would maintain all of the IP rights and could continue to develop and distribute the game however you'd like to.

Please let me know if it is available, and how much it would cost. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you soon!

Best regards,

Antonia Gates
