I spent more time on this game than most.  The perception of the cubes and cylinders was well executed, as well as the winning animation.  The walls of the level have a good look as well.  Visually the game has a great feel.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also liked that it launched in the web browser.  I can be impatient, and that let me get right to playing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The theme was spot on.

It was not until level 7 you had to shapeshift without having a wall\/corner to rest against. (but now I see there is a easy-medium-hard selector I forgot about.

Huh, it was kind of a rage game for me, but when i finally beat a harder level the feeling was: F*** yeah!!! \r<br\/>Howerver there is a bug. If you play in easy mode 10 levels and then you try hard you immediatelly got the 10th hard level. In this method I could try myself on the 35th hard level. It looked just impossible.
