My brain doesn't lend itself very good to memory based games. Once the number of switches ramped up, I started to lose track of what they did, and at that point, the cost of experimentation got very high (having to wait for past ghosts to clear out, etc. Otherwise I got confused by who-does-what). For players like me, a "reset" button and potentially a hint button (which switch toggles what) would help a lot.\r\rI think the core mechanic is solid though, the graphics are cute, and it fits very well with the theme. Good job! :)"},{"author_name":"alts","author_uid":"18267","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:21am","epoch":1377591360,"text":"Nice game. Reminded me a lot of Echoshift. I made it to the 11th puzzle before I stopped. I probably would have played longer if there were a way to skip to the next "play" rather than wait the full 10 seconds.\r\rWhile the mechanic may not be novel, I was really impressed with the quality of the levels. It didn't take long to reach ones that had really elegant approaches.
