And the theme interpretation is pretty neat.\r<br\/>But this is a physics puzzle game. And physics puzzle games conventionally operate on the principle of 'set stage up, play, watch what goes wrong, alter slightly, play, repeat'. And the issue with this particular title is that when something goes wrong, the entire stage resets to its original position. Initially, this isn't a huge issue since you you're only clicking one or two shapes. But later, when you get to grids of dozens of little shapes, which you have to re-click every time you lose the level, it gets unbearably frustrating. You do want a button\/key which resets the stage to default (maybe keep that as [R]) but keep another button([Space] might work) for 'keep everything as I set it but reset the physics'.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music is a 4 second loop that drove me insane as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Level design-wise, the game seems to love (pun intended) to throw new concepts at the player with no introduction in the middle of levels which claim to be introducing something else. Like the stage that explained how lines work and then arbitrarily required you to change the shape of the goal. I realize there's limited time to make levels in a compo, but tutorials are important.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still, those graphics are amazing."},{"author_name":"Mantlair","author_uid":"49861","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1460991780,"text":"Enjoyed.

I got completely stuck on the one where there were circles as walls on either side and a big triangle in the middle that you can move. tried about 100 times and still no luck.
