88/100

Sputnik Eyes is a delightfully charming and clever puzzle game. The premise is simple: move little space robots to their matching color positions. However, the way the paths are constructed means that moving one robot often blocks another, turning it into a complex game of spatial logic.

The art style is clean and adorable, and the puzzles scale beautifully in difficulty. It’s the perfect 'zen' game—no timers, just pure problem solving. It reminds me of the classic slider puzzles but with a much deeper and more colorful personality. It’s a great brain-teaser for commutes.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Sputnik Eyes is a breath of fresh air. It’s a very simple concept—moving colored robots to their spots—but the execution is top-notch. The art style is clean and charming, the music is relaxing, and the puzzles are genuinely clever. It’s one of those games that starts out very easy but slowly builds its complexity until you’re staring at the screen for ten minutes before making a single move. It’s a quiet, contemplative game that respects the player’s intelligence. It doesn't have any of the modern mobile game bloat, just over 60 well-designed puzzles. It’s the kind of game that reminds me why I still enjoy this hobby.

Efficiency and Medals

While you can take as many moves as you like to finish a level, earning the 'Gold' medal requires you to find the absolute shortest path. This adds a layer of challenge for perfectionists who want to master every planet.

Q&A

Sputnik Eyes encourages experimentation and does not include a traditional hint system, allowing players to solve the logic puzzles at their own pace.
