I have no idea what you are supposed to dear or how to do it

My intention at the start was to make that stuff more clear by throwing some plot/explanation pieces in the first two/three stages, but I ended up running out of time just getting it to work. It would have been nice if you said which level you got stuck on, I thought that at least the first stage would be simple enough to get past, even if the only thing you are told about are the controls.

Given how little there is to my game, I assumed that the objective would be self-evident and it wouldn't take that much of a leap to figure out how to at least get stuff moving. I thought it would be more fun leaving it up to the player to realize what he's supposed to be doing. (Was the screen explaining the controls clear at least? I think I'll update the submission page just in case.)

It's still kind of unclear. I was able on the first stage to SPOILERhavethemouseeatthecheeseandthecateatthemouseSPOILER but nothing happened after that so I must not understand the objective.

I couldn't figure it out either, sorry. It's unlike anything I've ever played. That's why I'm giving you a high score for innovation. ;) The icons are neat. They remind me of old Win 3.1 games.

Alrighty guys, I figured out how to play the game. Hopefully by now you've read the title and figured out how to get stuff moving. A hint is SPOILERyoucanmakethingsmoveoffthescreentohavethemdisappearSPOILER

If you have to collab in order to figure it out, then I'm perfectly okay with that.

Are you really sure you can defeat the first level?
I think that if your game would work, I would actually like it.

Fun game, I think I got to level 5 or 6. The one with the two cheeses.

Reviewed about twenty games now, and I think this is the first where I could say it was a truly original idea. Well done!

Very original puzzle game! The mechanics are interesting and lead to a lot of challenging puzzles. The graphics aren't amazing, but are still fairly good. Nice use of the theme.

Took me a while to figure this out. But once I did, it's a pretty neat, original puzzle game. The overall goal was clear enough, but took some fooling around to get the mechanics.
