Around level 7 (the first time you get a bunch of blocks in one place) they stop being obvious and I can't figure out when the blocks can and when they cannot be moved anymore. For now, I gave up at level ~10-12.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can you please clarify the mechanics? I'd like to play it to the end."},{"author_name":"pusheax","author_uid":"8150","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:12am","epoch":1409047620,"text":"@Kaelaholme You're right. Thanks for playing.\r<br\/>@Septi I know what you mean. When several crates are in one world they do not block each other's movement in this world. When any crate's movement is blocked in world A(only boundary and cross tiles are considered blocking tiles), it will block movement in worlds B and C but not in world A. I found nice consequences to this mechanic combined with repel and teleport tiles. \r<br\/>Narratively speaking crates located in one world are part of one component, that's why they can reorganize freely. I should have made separate sound effect for such motions."},{"author_name":"sprawl","author_uid":"29314","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:24pm","epoch":1409080740,"text":"Very neat mechanic and levels. It's so simple but it works very well.
