A decent and short puzzle game about getting two people to shake their hands.

The visual style isn't its strong point and there is unfortunately only 1 track that runs throughout the entire game, but it has some creative levels and introduces players to its mechanics at a good pace.

I'm looking forward to the planned sequel and how they'll expand on this idea. The last few levels of this one were tricky, so I'm imagining that an expanded version will be quite the handful. I'll see myself out now.

A nice wee brain teaser.
Handshakes is a clever little innovation on the sokoban archetype that simply asks a pair of questions; "what if not one but two people pushed about the boxes" and "what if those two just wanted to shake hands".

The art and music are both simple and delightful, as far as a free game goes I cannot complain about value but I do hope that that Hands On, the upcoming sequel gives us some visual and audio variation to spice things up a little.

Handshakes does what it aims to do well, gives you a nice amount of levels with smart scaling of ideas and mechanics but other than that initial "ah that's clever" from the idea there's rarely a eureka moment.
Easy to recommend but hard to gush about.

An effective and cute puzzler about two people that just really want to shake hands with each other. Both visually and gameplay wise the game is simple; with a lot of the gameplay revolving around moving boxes or hitting levers to reach each other. It also introduces new mechanics naturally, and can be quite challenging in later levels by forcing players to think outside the bun. Also you can cut off each others hands, which I feel helps a lot when it comes to relieving stress. If you're looking for a fun little puzzler, why not handshakes?
