Ever played a puzzle game that makes you feel both stupid and brilliant at the same time? That’s The Brainies on SNES. You’re dropped into this weird little world where these round, squishy creatures need your help—basically, you rearrange blocks to guide them home, but the solutions are never as obvious as they seem.
At first, it feels like a cute, simple puzzler, but give it a few levels and suddenly you’re staring at the screen, muttering, “Wait, how does that even work?” The controls are snappy, though, so when you finally figure out a solution, pulling it off feels satisfying. And the music? Weirdly catchy in that 16-bit way—you’ll hum it for days.
It’s one of those games where you tell yourself “just one more level” at 2 AM. If you dig stuff like Lemmings but want something a little more chaotic, this is your jam.
