How it plays
How does Pushover play?
Each level is viewed from the side as a single-room puzzle. G.I. Ant can walk around platforms, pick up selected dominoes, move them, and set them down in useful positions.
The objective is to start a chain reaction that causes every required domino to fall. Different pieces may fall in unusual directions, jump gaps, split the chain, or interact with hazards, so placement and timing are essential. The game presents a large sequence of increasingly demanding stages, with success opening the way to later puzzles.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Pushover?
Study the room before moving any pieces, paying attention to gaps, walls, switches, hazards, and the direction in which each domino will fall.
Plan the complete reaction from the final domino backward. Place special dominoes only after confirming that the preceding piece will reach them, and avoid triggering the chain until every required position has been checked.
