    Nice idea, simple but quite hard for the last couple of levels. Quite satisfying to finish.

    As an exercise in logic, I enjoyed it. As an exercise in memorising locations of hidden pieces, not so much.

    Would definitely be worth spending the extra time improving the display and adding things like move counter, targets, etc.

    Woo Hoo! Finished it- yeah the levels definitely get tricky as you keep going. All in all, though, that was a really fun game!

    neat little game. simple controls, sucks you in with "hey, this is fun & pretty easy," but then slowly twists your brain in knots.

    instead of the counter, I wish there was a maximum number of attempts...
    I'm too slow for the Flash level but too stubborn to quit... Help!

    Flash isn't about speed, it's about making sure you move on every other turn (when the blue spots are not active) using the ability to "scroll" your moving piece is the key to levels with the blue and pink buttons.

    I tried and tried and tried, and then I gave up at lure. I know, just a little more right? But I'm done. I liked the 14 locks very much, and the music is real chill. Any sequel?

    Took me the whole day to solve it. I would take a break from it, and then come back and the solution would "materialize" After a particularly difficult level, the next couple of levels were trivial! The final level I understood the solution before being able to implement it, it was a bit like the level before, having to go back for an intermediate solution.

    Thanks for the game!

    Note that you access a menu with the spacebar. There you can for example restart the game if you want.
