Level 72…

Absolutely delightful puzzle game, but this level… this god forsaken level is absolutely strenuous.

(⚠️Spoilers if you haven’t gotten to this level by the way⚠️)

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

As much as I do enjoy sliding puzzles, having TWO layers of said sliding puzzles is too much. Not only is it tedious to have to move the tiles on the top layer out of the way to see what you are doing, but you can only see through that measly little single gap, like some hellish version of tunnel vision, which makes strategizing and planning extremely difficult if not almost impossible. When you think you’ve completed the lower layer, you realize that you have completely scrambled the other half that you had already completed. I can hear it laugh at me. I just want to yank out that wretched top layer like ripping off a blindfold. Not to mention how utterly useless the hints for this level are. Obviously it’s a sliding puzzle; obviously it has two layers; obviously you need to solve it. It’s so simple, yet so confounding. I now know how Sisyphus must have felt. What layer of Tartarus did this level crawl out of to end up in a humble mobile game?

WAY Underrated

Bart Bonte was making varying logic puzzles years before they caught on, and this is an excellent example of his earlier work.
The user rating on this game doesn’t accurately represent the high quality of this game or the big influence his work has had on other developers.

Well done!

excellent puzzle game. the right level of difficulty to make it challenging and clever but not frustrating.

Love love love these games

I absolutely love all your games. I can’t get past level 43 because it won’t let me hit factory balls. Can you fix that? Love it though! :)

Levels 52 and 72 (maybe more..)

Never have I ever come across worse levels in ‘puzzle’ games. Not only are they exact copies of each other, they’re both awful. Don’t mock me with ‘you can do it!’. Yes, I can do it after painfully watching a tutorial at x0.25 speed and having to re-do it anyway because I went wrong once. If you’re going to make me wait 120 seconds just to tell me that as a ‘hint’ then you clearly don’t know what a hint is. Please change the hints to actually help you out, as hints should.
