A Little to the Left, a cutesy new puzzle game, is out now for iOS
  • A Little to the Left is a cutesy puzzle game about tidying up
  • Solve simple puzzles inspired by household objects
  • Avoid getting side-tracked by a furry feline menace

When it comes to tidying up and rearranging things at home, it can be both a chore and oddly therapeutic. And it’s the latter aspect that developers Max Inferno seek to translate to digital with their best-selling puzzle game A Little to the Left. After a successful launch for platforms like the Nintendo Switch, the game has now hit iOS, offering a chance to try before you buy the full game with its own demo! It’s set to arrive on Android later this year.

The gameplay in A Little to the Left couldn’t be simpler, yet it’s still intriguing. Essentially it’s a ‘tidying up’ simulator where you solve puzzles based on a variety of household objects. Whether that’s adjusting dinner plates, filling boxes or stacking shelves, each puzzle has multiple ways to solve it.

But just keep an eye out, because there’s also a mischievous cat that’ll make its presence known by messing up your progress, throwing an element of uncertainty into proceedings. Inspired by the real-life experiences of the developers from Max Inferno, A Little to the Left promises a familiar and laid-back series of challenges to tease your brain.

To me, to you

While some people may scoff and roll their eyes at the idea of a game based around tidying up, it’s undeniably intriguing. After all, who amongst us hasn’t taken pleasure in the simple act of rearranging shelves and making messy things neat? And the added pressure of your feline friend constantly at the ready to mess up the best-laid plans certainly adds challenging complications.
