Weird Games 8: Power Soukoban

Whooooo boy, japan gets a lot of crap from nintendo while we get sh*t dont we? This is a puzzle game that imo kicks ass.

You play a Japanese demon, trapped in the dungeon of Medusa's Castle with other folktale characters. Once you have figured out how to escape from your dungeon you have to escape the castle.

Nearly every screen of the castle has a block puzzle for you to solve, and if you solve enough of them then your friends will power you up for the boss battles ahead. You solve puzzles by pushing rocks from behind and having them drop into holes - fill all of the holes with rocks and the puzzle is solved, but don't push a rock into the corner or you'll have to restart the puzzle.

Once you're clear of the castle there are another three puzzle-sets to play on before you face Medusa herself.

Now, being the puzzle lover I am, I must say I am pissed off at the fact everything is in japanese. This would probably be an interesting game if I could understand it.
