Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Puzzle play in which forces, motion, gravity, materials, or interacting physical objects form the main solution space.

Include when

Assign Physics Puzzle when puzzle play in which forces, motion, gravity, materials, or interacting physical objects form the main solution space. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Physics Puzzle from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
