My only suggestions would be to perhaps remove the fading in and out of blackness, it was a bit disorientating. The whole game was very polished and the puzzles were fun and satisfying to complete.\r\rI really enjoyed it!

Also, using hexes makes it a lot more interesting :)\r\rNice work on the level-design. The concepts are well-explained, an the levels ramp up (mostly) nicely in complexity. Level 3 is a jump in difficulty, though.\r\rSadly, the soundtrack, though technically alright, does not fit AT ALL.\r\rStill, nice work!"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"May 10, 2012 @ 7:05am","epoch":1336633200,"text":"Excellent puzzle game!
