Such a simple concept of getting something in a hole develops into some pretty devious puzzles.

Too bad I suck at it! XD\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found it difficult to visualize both the right orientation of the obstacle to redirect the particles, prior to drawing it, and the very action of putting the vertices down. Maybe with a little visual aid, like drawing a line from the vertex to the mouse position, drawing the obstacle would become much more intuitive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But that's just a limitation of mine. The concept is very cool. Congratulations! :D"},{"author_name":"berareu","author_uid":"15244","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 8:46am","epoch":1367829660,"text":"Great puzzle game!
