Sokoban-like game in space

Post by Larry Laffer »

'Kay, so it's my turn to make a thread here[again].

Recently, my mom asked me about this game she used to play oh so long ago, I remember the game, but for the life of me, can't recall its name.


Basically, you play as a blue(?) astronaut/robot thing working in a top-down perspective on a space platform(or I think they were ships and you were supposed to salvage stuff from them?).

On that platform(with increasingly challenging shapes), there were also a range of coloured blocks(multiple blocks of the same colour, multiple colours).

Your goal was to first push all the same-coloured blocks into each other(in order to stack them) and then to push that stack(it was really just one block on the game screen) onto an exit tile to be teleported out.

Any ideas?

You mean this?

If so, that's not it, the one I'm looking for had way less awesome graphics(fairly sure it was VGA, but really primitive)

I have to give up, even if the game description sounds kinda familiar, wouldn't recall the name anyway.

Know what, get your mom on shockwave, that's a fun game and with an astronaut.

Maybe one of the games on this page is the one she's looking for:

Nope, not Cargo Bay, and it's not on that list either.

I distinctly recall you could die/lose blocks if you fell/pushed them off the edge of the ship/platform.

But if that doesn't help either, oh well, I guess she'll have to settle for the games that I can actually name. :)
