There are also blue squares, which allow you to temporarily rebiggify the minimalized squares. It\u2019s a half-decent puzzle game and a half-decent platformer, which either adds up to a decent game or, if you\u2019re supposed use the Pythagorean theorem for this, to 70.71% of a decent game. Either one is all right with me.<\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2013 8:12 pm","title":"Progress","title_was_empty":false}
