And how exactly do we move the portals?
Grab one of the dots at the end and stretch it to a new spot.
Aw, thanks! Now, about level 9. How the heck do you get in and out of 4 landlocked squares with only two portals?
Oh, you can stretch the portals across multiple landlocked squares! I haven't the patience to place all the purple squares to actually solve level 9, but very proud I got the general concept. Very cool game!
No saves ?
Shoot!
I thought all unity games had a full screen option.
This sucks, oh wait a sec I can resize with ctrl+ DUH!
Do you expect me to believe that level 9 is possible?
I did the math & was working on getting 16 of the 20.
Then the game started to refuse my block placements.
WTF!
I QUIT!
Stupid snake game had so much potential too.
I loved the silly factor and smiles. But I got to the same problem on level 9 - it won't let me put blocks on the right hand side of the game. I posted on Itchio, and the dev says it's annoying but still solvable. Sorry - not going back...
Level 9 is definitely possible, and actually doesn't even require any blocks to be placed. It's probably my favorite level of the bunch-- I recommend pushing through it, the answer is actually really elegant and cool once you find it!
Cy can you give a hint for the size ratio of the two portals?
I'm totally intrigued, Cy, and did levels 1-8 once again to get back to 9, but I need another hint, please? Here's where I'm at (Rot13)

Oo oo I got Level 9. It is indeed elegant and fun.
Ok, I think we're ready for a spoiler on level 9. Anyone wanna spill the secret?

Here are a couple of Rot13 hints:

Thanks Smowler! I feel like I'm getting closer, but still no idea how to actually solve the level. Anyone care to explain how to solve the level?
Level 9 solution (rot13):

Thanks so much for that! I'd never have thunk 2 portals could provide entrances and exits for all the target squares! Very cool.
Well now I had imagined just that kind of solution but could never quite get it to work.
Thank for posting that.
Only now they added lower case letter bonus levels into the mix.
Hmmm.... how to do "b" level, Back to banging my head I guess.
Can anyone post an alternative link?
I am tired of restarting level "b".
Every time I click near the top right the game reds up on me.
Or give me a hint that does not use that area.
Level b .. i can get to a score of 40 but i cannot see how to get the remaining 12, the ones right in the corners.
Up to 46 now on level b.
Up to 47 now.
