Amazing Tater is a classic puzzle game released by Atlus for the Game Boy in 1991. Serving as the sequel to Kwirk, this challenging block-pushing puzzler tasks players with guiding a potato protagonist through increasingly complex mazes by sliding crates, rotating turnstiles, and carefully clearing a path to the exit.
How to Play
The objective is to guide your character to the level exit by pushing different types of blocks into holes and rotating turnstiles to clear the way. If you make a mistake and get stuck, you must restart the puzzle. Use the D-pad (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys) to move and push blocks. The A and B buttons (Z and X keys) interact with menus, while Start (Enter) pauses the game and Select (Shift) is used to restart a level when you find yourself trapped.
Tips
- Plan your moves carefully before committing to them, as pushing a block against a wall or into a corner will permanently trap it.
- Pay attention to the different shapes of blocks; some fit perfectly into specific holes to create bridges, while others are used purely to block paths or alter the layout.
- Always look for multiple ways to rotate the turnstiles, as their starting position often serves as a misdirection for the puzzle’s true solution.
