Faux Pa - heavenly puzzle

From hell to heaven, that's the way two main heroes of a Czech puzzle game Faux Pa have to go. Devilish character Lucius is the stronger one - and so he can operate heavy things, angel-being Thrill is weak, but light, so she's able to walk over cloud platforms. Faux Pa is a puzzle game similar to Slovak classic Quadrax: player is supposed to navigate Thrill and Lucius to the exit gate in each of overall 30 levels in a side-viewed screen. This is not an easy task because of clever system of platforms, switches, elevators, movable blocks and so on.

Faux Pa is very nicely presented. There's a story briefing at the start of every puzzle. Lucius and Thrill fall in love at the beginning of the game and they have to find a way to cope with their differences. It seems like they can't touch each other (for Lucius would burn Thrill to ashes), but there has to be a solution...

Also the graphics are great and a few different settings add to the variability of the game. Faux Pa is one of the top games of last years Becherovka Game and definitely a remarkable freeware puzzle.
