Cool idea. Liked the simplicity. The bounce back anim was cool. Liked the art and audio. Got confused a few times on how I should approach a situation, some hints or help would be great.

This is hard, I took ages on each level trying to work out how the game works. It's a nice puzzle once you understand, maybe for the simple folk like me could you write out a description?

vdogamez 2013-04-29 05:49

I never quite feel like I know what's going on in these kinds of games, but this is a rather unique puzzle and was fun to solve. It could definitely do with some more levels to further explore the kind of stuff you can do with the mechanics.

tomk32 2013-04-29 05:50

Okay, I get the idea but i'm never sure why I did fail and that takes away a lot of fun. Other than that it is well done.

nseward 2013-04-29 05:53

I loved loved loved this game. Level 9 had me stumped for quite a while. Great job.

loxo 2013-04-29 05:59

I think a tutorial would help, but overall a good game.

brian-corr 2013-04-29 06:03

Level 9 is great! That's a proper puzzle game.

I will say that I found the 'early' levels rather boring and simple. I would have preferred a few more using the concepts in level 9 (creating loops).

Great look, great concept. ::) :)

raincole 2013-04-29 06:09

Sorry for the inconvenience. I had added some description on the webpage(and here). I hope it helps:)

sparkleswirl 2013-04-29 06:17

Definitely a great game! A little confusing at first but it was a good kind of confusion.

daniel 2013-04-29 06:17

Once I figured out what was going on it was quite fun :) Inventive mechanic, great puzzler.

raincole 2013-04-29 06:19

@ananasblau:

There are only two ways to fail: 1) you run out of moves(displayed at the top-right corner) or 2) you have fixed nodes(X) only so you can't rotate anything any more.

zaszx 2013-04-29 08:08

Very nice idea, great game. I ragequit at level 9, dont think I can solve that one.

patrickward 2013-04-29 10:57

Wonderful game. Great puzzles. The bounce backs made me laugh. Great job!

xeke_death 2013-04-29 12:39

Not sure how far I got, I wasn't paying attention. Too busy solving puzzles...!

mikesoylu 2013-04-29 12:41

Although I sucked at it I really liked the game, maybe you could make the movable parts more obvious

Well done!

noa 2013-04-29 13:09

good puzzle indeed ^^

roguenoodle 2013-04-29 13:37

Unfortunately, my brain just doesn't work this way, but I can definitely see the puzzle potential. Very original!

tinco 2013-04-29 14:04

Challenging puzzler :)

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 14:19

Very nice puzzle game.

jhrrsn 2013-04-29 14:29

Clever, challenging puzzler. Made my head hurt, in a good way.

lekochen 2013-04-29 14:46

Neat puzzler, good game.

kgs0142 2013-04-29 14:49

Fun!
I like the puzzles, it's full of challenge!

lrdkzrth 2013-04-29 15:31

Great idea, and really clever

martijn 2013-04-29 16:08

Simple, yet brilliant

ditto 2013-04-29 19:36

Only problem I have with it is that you can't fold the menu : ( there is a mild bug that makes you lose if you keep pressing the direction button when folding onto a cross. Loved it, great job on the game!

norritt42 2013-04-29 21:55

Wow that was intriguing. Nice work and hard game play.

gatechgrad 2013-04-30 04:42

Nice innovative idea, but I'll admit I was just randomly trying things until level 5. That's when I really grasped what I needed to do to complete the levels. However, level 9 completely stumped me.

gatechgrad 2013-04-30 04:48

Just figured out level 9. Had to think a little differently to solve it. Nice game!

markusn 2013-04-30 06:32

unique idea. admittedly made my brain melt. really hope you release this on mobile!

naoistheguardian 2013-04-30 07:02

Really cool!
I love puzzle games like these. It would make a good iphone game.

edocentrique 2013-04-30 07:14

I've never seen that before, it's cool :)

korda 2013-04-30 07:33

Really good. Well thought out puzzles. Bravo

madball 2013-04-30 08:41

The concept is interesting, I think it's rather difficult to come up with a good idea for a puzzle. The game was easy to understand and fun to play, however it is kinda... minimalistic. I would like to see more content added.

colapsydo 2013-04-30 08:59

Powerful concept which fits the theme.
I spent some time on the last one.

ilo 2013-04-30 09:15

The puzzles are well designed - I played to completion - and the fact that your goal is to achieve simplicity fits perfectly with the theme. Well done. :)

neonlare 2013-04-30 10:00

Neat little puzzler, enjoyed the mechanic for a while :).

zccc 2013-04-30 16:04

Great idea, I really liked the concept, even tough the puzzles were hard to figure out. But cool game!

realyuniquename 2013-05-01 08:18

Simple but clever and unique idea. Well done!

pjchardt 2013-05-03 04:32

Very nice puzzle game. Nice use of the theme. Found the menu confusing as I thought it was the first level and was trying to rotate the segments :)

jonrb 2013-05-03 16:54

While the audio did get a little repetitive, I really liked this game. Simple, challenging and fun. I could see this being ported to phones and being quite succesful.
My poor little 3am mind can't handle it so I'm going to try and finish it in the morning.

Pokemonsta 2013-05-04 11:49

Awesome

mramaizng 2013-05-04 16:44

Nice puzzle game. Controls weren't very intuitive but the game was awesome. a

omaha 2013-05-04 17:10

this was great. i found it pretty difficult.

pabloalexandre31 2013-05-04 22:17

This is hard, but i like it, haha! I liked of menu.

granada 2013-05-04 23:27

Nice puzzle. Fun to solve and to play again. Nice entry!

dr_soda 2013-05-05 16:37

On the one hand I think I really like the concept, but on the other I can't quite figure out the rules for what causes some lines to stick and form a structure while others keep rotating. The game feels like it should be simple but I just found that I was getting really unexpected results on every level.

saintheiser 2013-05-09 03:55

Awesome idea, man!
I understand how it work only when I beat half of game. I beat it completely and it was cool =)
Excellent work! Really minimalism =)

namuol 2013-05-16 19:39

Great puzzle game that incorporates the theme perfectly into gameplay!

With some polish and more levels, this could totally be a successful mobile game.

_alts 2013-05-20 07:17

Cool to see another game about pivots and rotation. Finished the game. I didn't feel confident until the end of the last puzzle about when or why a move would work with X nodes. Up until that point it was quite fun working through the puzzles. 9 I ended up winning just on a desperate guess. I suppose I didn't properly figure out the rules by that point.
