From Below
深渊方块
From Below is a puzzle platformer for the NES developed by Matt Hughson, released in 2022. The game features a single-player experience where you control a character navigating underground caverns filled with block-pushing puzzles. Each level presents spatial challenges that require strategic movement and block manipulation to reach the exit. The controls use directional input to move and interact with the environment. The game progresses through increasingly complex levels, introducing new mechanics and layout variations that build upon the core puzzle-solving gameplay. Graphics utilize the NES's characteristic palette and sprite work, maintaining authentic 8-bit aesthetics. The puzzle design focuses on logical thinking rather than reflexes, making each level a self-contained challenge. From Below delivers a focused, methodical puzzle experience emphasizing problem-solving within a compact package.
