Surprisingly touching considering it's just a couple of blocks. The text and animation does a good job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Gameplay-wise the puzzles were well-designed.

Good use of tutorial levels on the teleporter, though the red squares were a bit weak on tutorials (still fine, though, as the game supports easy retries).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not much to criticize here.
