A nice wee brain teaser.
Handshakes is a clever little innovation on the sokoban archetype that simply asks a pair of questions; "what if not one but two people pushed about the boxes" and "what if those two just wanted to shake hands".

The art and music are both simple and delightful, as far as a free game goes I cannot complain about value but I do hope that that Hands On, the upcoming sequel gives us some visual and audio variation to spice things up a little.

Handshakes does what it aims to do well, gives you a nice amount of levels with smart scaling of ideas and mechanics but other than that initial "ah that's clever" from the idea there's rarely a eureka moment.
Easy to recommend but hard to gush about.
