Play Overview
Press X to Puzzle (2020) is a one button puzzle game. You press or hold a single button in order to progress to the next screen. Sounds simple, but it's actually more cryptic as you have to decipher the instruction. For some screens the solution is obvious, and for others it is more devious. There are also secret achievements to collect which you may discover by accident.
The game starts off pretty straightforward, and you will progress quickly through the first few levels, but it gets a lot harder. For some screens you will need patience and in others frantic button pressing.
The result is an unusual, quick challenge with a quirky sense of humour. You are aiming to complete all 20 levels as quickly as possible, but some may have you scratching your head for quite a while. The last level is unlike the others, and is a mini adventure in a dungeon. So lots of variety to keep everyone interested.
