The controls and mechanics are difficult to learn, as noted. Providing a solution for the first level helped a lot. I'm glad I spent the time to learn, as it's actually a very rewarding game!\r\rI'm stuck on the first level with 4 worlds. Oh well - I'm sure I'll figure it out.\r\rOne critique is that when there are three worlds, the solution to room 1 is often the same as the solution to room 2. Perhaps that's remedied when there's 4 worlds. I'll keep trying to beat this level and find out ;)"},{"author_name":"BinaryPie","author_uid":"17592","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 10:55pm","epoch":1409007000,"text":"Very cool idea, nice take on the theme.
