WOW! That really makes you think. Totally different mechanics than I think I've ever seen. That ones gonna take some time.
ReplyDeleteLevel 3 is so simple, yet I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the new mechanism for getting past?

ReplyDeleteRRURDLDRRRRRU.....
Stuck on 3. Is something wrong with my brain?
ReplyDeleteAnd then I got it on my 10th try without thinkin. Durp
DeleteI feel like the rules change.
ReplyDeletesometimes it gets smaller, sometimes it moves, gets bigger now wtf.
Gaah. People, why you make it a game, have it save progress. If you don't, then at the very least let us select levels. I really hate it when a fun game lets me play half, then I come back later...and now I have to replay the same half.
ReplyDeleteI can´t for the life of me figure out #5. There´s no room to get behind the shrinked piece to be able to slide it into the slot, whatever I do.

ReplyDeleteThank you, that's what I though I was supposed to do. Then to do it...
DeleteOk I figured it out. Now to struggle with level 8. I agree with those who say the lack of a save option is frustrating.
DeleteManaged to get through it, I was frustrated with the lack of progress-saving, but it was good enough to draw me back in enough times to get through. I'm not sure I could do it again, some of them felt like I solved them by accident when I was just futzing around, but I at least have an existence proof that it can be done.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those games that I like to play for a bit and come back to later, but without progress-saving I was forced to abandon it.
ReplyDeleteNice one !

Both the walkthrough and my solution for level 6 don't use the space above the 1x2 bar. Maybe that space is an intentional distraction, but it makes me thing that there's an intended solution I'm not seeing.
Delete@Urban Garlic yes I was surprised that this level is so simple - my solution is probably not the intended one.
