Handshakes is a compact Sokoban-style puzzle game about guiding two hands toward a handshake. Each level is a small puzzle space where you plan how to bring the hands together.
Move the hands around obstacles and push objects to clear routes or interact with the level. Some puzzles introduce mechanics such as using a detached hand to activate a switch or pushing one hand with the other.
Play alone by controlling both hands, or team up in local co-op. The game has 30 puzzles that introduce mechanics as you progress, along with optional speedrun challenges and achievements.
Players often enjoy the clever, steadily introduced puzzles and the satisfying moments when a solution clicks. Reviews also praise the approachable challenge, cute presentation, and option to work through levels with a local co-op partner. Some appreciate the brief format, while others wish it offered more puzzles.
Handshakes is a short and sweet puzzler where you must guide two hands towards their goal of a warm, firm handshake.
