  4. You forgot the disclaimer: "Requires Unity Player"

    This isn't Flash or HTML5.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Well if you haven't installed the Unity player by now, you really should, because this is one fiendishly cunning puzzler!

  6. On Level 3. These are tricky but makes you think. Thanks Bart.

    SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (USE ONLY IF YOU'RE COMPLETELY STUMPED)

    For Level 1, try to line up three blocks for each ray/light so that you can go back from the start to pass through untouched.

    For Level 2, use the vertical block to help you move the upper ray block so that you can use it to push the horizontal block sticking out.

    END OF SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. It's in unity, not wasting my time.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Is there another link for this game?
    It doesn't work on my PC. :( I only see a pink background.
    Normally, I don't have any problems with Unity games.

    That's too bad!

    ReplyDelete
  10. How to do level1??????
    Three blocks for the upper light is not enough :-(
    HELP!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Finished! A bit tricky, but neat.

    ReplyDelete
  12. To difficult for me... But I'll try again when I'll have time! Thanks Bart

    ReplyDelete
  13. Can`t even pass level one....
    Anyone there to help me??

    ReplyDelete
  14. Molly!
    you can't say that!
    I'm sooo sorry bart!
    she is my little sister :(

  15. This game was so F***ing hard, but i finally completed it. It takes a lot of logic thinking, and you have to think the levels through before you start. Plus the walkthrough for level 1 and 2 from an other anonymous, was a really good help to get started.. Good Luck all :D

    ReplyDelete
  16. O good!
    here comment gone!!

    im never going to let her play games without me from now on!

    ReplyDelete
  17. wow... I really have no idea what to do....

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't get it. The last few games that have been posted seem to be laking the quality of the older games.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm with you Bart. I can't even get level 1. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would have loved to play this. It sounds fun. But it uses Unity, and I share a computer with my parents who don't let me download that kind of program. Great.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm having the same problem as ekieramzen. All I see is a pink screen.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Fiendish!

    I thought I liked rock hard games, and after a few levels maybe I was wrong :)

    It's interesting what can emerge from just a few simple rules.

    Thanks Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I wanna play!!!

    just a pink screen and I never have any problems with unity too.

    ReplyDelete
  24. thank for the new game. it keep my mind off my two friends that just died of cancer.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Made it....was a challenging game,one of the best i played.

    ReplyDelete
  26. pink screen issues too...what's going on?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Fiendishly difficult and fabulous if you like puzzles; just about to embark on level 4.

    I was having pink screen issues too, but after some fiddling around with clicking on my header then back on the window I got it to work.

    ReplyDelete
  28. ok lv 1 i cant get it .... to hard i got 3 boxxes in each spot but on the top row 3 .... not enough boxes :( plz help someone

    ReplyDelete
  29. I CAN'T PASS LEVEL ONE!!!!! THIS IS THE FIRST GAME THAT I QUIT ON THE FIRST LEVEL!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I feel like I really accomplished something today, and it had nothing to do with work! I made it through all the levels!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hey bart I saw on youtube that You were making a game so you got your daughter to work on the music! SILLY BUT AWESOME AND CUTE!!!!!!

  32. @Anonymous 20:01

    The previous hint was right about level 1, line up three boxes on each ray. But the hint didn't tell you what section of the puzzle you should be in when you've completed that.



    BIG SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!



    You should be in the middle section with three boxes lined up on each ray.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Mine will load but as soon as level one starts i only see a purple screen

    ReplyDelete
  34. Of course I have already beaten level 1 by now ;)
    If you still haven't here's how to do it: bring two blocks to the top part, so you can leave the top part with 3 blocks in the top laser line, then line up 3 blocks in the bottom laser line, so you can safely do down and back to the top.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Great game!... yook me like 1 and half hour to beat!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. 35.!!! Ich bin 35.! Zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great game. Games wit simple rules like this one and Impasse are great.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Bleah...no unity web player for Linux
    (-_-);

    ReplyDelete
  39. Noice! Took me about 45 minutes. When you'll catch the drift the levels begin to be self-explanatory.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Reminded me of Puzzle Boy Flash (from eons ago). The real trick is figuring out what your goal is and then how the game physics function.

    ReplyDelete
  41. again, a great game. stuck on level 7, but i'll come back to it in a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  42. This game makes me feel like my brain is made of mushy oatmeal. I managed to pass level 1 but am utterly lost otherwise. Thanks for sharing this and keeping me humble, Bart :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Nice puzzles. Quite hard early on, until you get the hang of what's going on. Gets easier as you learn how to do some basic combos.

    On the minus side:
    1. I got quite a bit of key bounce, which is a feature of Unity (you have to write your own debounce as I remember).
    2. The graphics are just lazy. Anyone can produce something nicer than that.
    3. Really needs a scoring system based on number of moves, to give a target to work against. Plus stars, achievements -- the bar is high these days.
    4. And more levels. I was just getting started...

    Still, nice find and we can always hope for "puzzles 2".

    ReplyDelete
  44. I absolutely loved this game: challenging without having to hunt for pixels, combine things that don't logically go together or having to redo things just to get that one jump right. Perfect :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sounds like a good challenging game, I wish I could play it. All I am getting is a blank screen and some ethereal music playing.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Would love to play this game cause it sounds good but whenever i start the game and click new game i just get a pink screen. could i get some help fixing it?

    ReplyDelete
  47. @ Anonymous 22 June 2012 16:06

    I
    KNOW,
    RIGHT?

    @ llamallama123

    Yeah... someone I know is also facing cancer... and a super agressive and rare kind to boot...

    ReplyDelete
  48. yea! finished. taking a break was a great idea.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Simple y cargado de lógica, de esos juegos que solo se encuentran acá. Gracias Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  50. bart i didnt get your instructions :( i tryed and again and again ....no luck D:

    ReplyDelete
  51. Endless pink screen problem has been fixed.

    The puzzles were tough, but I finally got them all. Figuring out the objective was the first hurdle!

    hover here to see the objective.

    ReplyDelete
  52. SPOILER level 1

    If you manage to align four blocks upside, you are on the way home. One of the four blocks has to be directed from above to the downside laser line. ;)

    END OF SPOILER

    Okay let's try level two now...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Omg, it took me a week to finish this game, and all without using verbal or visual cheats. Great game overall and thanks to the developer and to Bart for posting it

    ReplyDelete
  54. I was first it was me. And I am first in the next one too.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Haha ! I'll warn you when I pass the tricky level 3.

    I cannot play this either. I have the unity player installed but no cursor when trying to start the game.

    ReplyDelete
  57. hey burnt! Don't need a cursor, just use the arrow keys...this is finally WORKING! WOOT!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Awesome game.
    Difficult, with simple rules.
    Thanks Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Took a good twenty minutes to complete all eight levels, and now I feel like I'm getting a tension headache!

    But fun and CHALLENGING game, Bart! Thanks for recommending this one!

    ReplyDelete
