It was a challenge to thing ahead of each pieces moves, but I eventually got the hang of it.  My only complain is that I found the first couple levels a bit frustrating due to the slower speeds, and me getting used to the controls. Overall, very nice."},{"author_name":"Sestren","author_uid":"10343","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 12:03am","epoch":1367279880,"text":"Great and unique puzzle concept. Just as I was about to complain that it played a little slow, the next level sped up a bit. :)"},{"author_name":"Felix20","author_uid":"6525","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 11:00pm","epoch":1367448900,"text":"Very nice concept and some very nice puzzles. The graphics are minimal, but that is the theme, plus the jumping squares effect ids cool.\r<br\/>The nice thing about this is it adds tension to a puzzle game and does it very well."},{"author_name":"Lafolie","author_uid":"3907","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 12:11pm","epoch":1367496360,"text":"Such an odd mechanic, yet it works well.

The sounds and pulsing boxes were very cool, but what you were actually doing just was no fun for me. That may just be me, everybody has different tastes, but I couldn't get past the first level, for lack of willingness to try.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sounds like it speeds up on later levels?  That would've helped a lot in terms of putting it up with the controls and taking more time to give it a shot.  I didn't need 2 seconds to decide whether to turn or move!"},{"author_name":"playvue","author_uid":"12572","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 11:26pm","epoch":1367536860,"text":"I love how this combines turn-based with timed in a such a creative way!
