Simple puzzle game. Get the shapes to the target positions.
Drag a block with the mouse in the direction you want to move it.

The game has a minimal palette, and the aim is to complete the levels with minimal moves.

I intend to make an Android build shortly.

Some of my target scores may not be optimal, I didn't spend loads of time on some of the levels. Let me know if you beat them.

Have fun!

Fun, but the difficulty curve ramped up very quickly. By the third level I was getting very frustrated.

Nice, complex riddles. Also, very clear game design. Love it.

Very challenging, nice graphics. Weird sounds, but I think it matches. Loved playing it! At least until level 6...

So hard, but I like it :).

I can't beat the level 3... But I'm sure it's possible, and that's what I love :) Very clear level design, very gameplay idea, minimalistic in a good sense. Really enjoyed it ;)

Good game, really hard though.
JimmyLord1 May 2013, 17:52
Cool puzzle game, I gave up on level 6, I started playing with multiple pieces moving at the same time, which was probably a bad idea. I'd say it's a bug, but it might be intentional.

Nice idea, great execution. The audio is really cool. I like it a lot :)

Simple yet fun. A little difficult at times.

Good work! I like puzzles like that. Thanks, man!

Cool puzzles (even though a bit difficult, but that's a good thing =)), and very appropriate visual style.

definitely one of the best puzzle games i've seen this time
JustinMullin2 May 2013, 21:58
Very cool puzzle. Early on I thought moving multiple pieces at the same time was a bug, but then it became a necessity. Was not expecting that!

Really good training for my weak brain! I'll save it and play again several times.

Very clever level design, but gets very difficult, very fast. Nicely polished. Keep up the good work!

High difficulty but fun.

Good game but very frustrating (in a good way)
stqn2 May 2013, 23:56
Seemed very good at first, but I can't find the solution to level 3.

Notes:

- Music is haunting, a bit.
- Like the idea so far.
- Level 2. 11/11.
- The level completion sound is a bit strange.
- Level 3. 18/16.
- Level 4. This is hard.
- Music is getting annoying, now.
- 23/15. Could have done that better, I think..
- Level 5. Shapes!
- Level start effect doesn't seem to fit. I imagined a much different audio palette based on the visuals.
- 25/18.
- Level 6. Oh my.
- Possible gamebreak: move two blocks towards eachother in the same instance.
- Got all but the square situated with 91/36. Is there a completely normal way to do this?
- I don't think so. I can only get two of them placed. I give up.

Things I would change:

- Add keyboard controls. WASD/arrow keys to move, spacebar to switch between blocks.

Sliding boxes are always good for puzzlers :)
Beat level 5, but only with way too many steps.

Nice puzzle game. Trying to get through a lot of games here so don't have time to properly rack my brains over this but It was certainly nice and hard but not too hard.
zeelyndz3 May 2013, 20:31
Pretty cool puzzle game, not really a fan of the music but the puzzles and design were nice.

Simple and efficient mechanic.
By your game presentation, I understand that you designed levels by hand, is that right ?

Nice. Fun and challenging puzzler. I like the music and art style.

It's a little bit over complicated. I think this would be hard enough even without symbols inside those tokens :) Anyway great game.
ramoncb4 May 2013, 22:40
quite hard, but is fun!

Excellent puzzle game!! It's an awesome idea :)
Dining Philosopher5 May 2013, 02:16
Extremely good puzzle game, very challenging, and I like the hypnotizing music.

2/2, 11/11, 16/16, 15/15, 16/18, 30/36, 31/31, 10/10, 8/9, 12/12, 30/29, 25/21, 18/17, 16/16, 10/10.

I'm freeee! It's 4:12 AM here, so about time too. For at least three levels a lower number of moves is possible (see above).

Only made it to level 4, but VERY solid nonetheless.

Very well-made puzzle game. Lots of the puzzles made my head hurt, but that's to be expected from this genre. Liked the creative solutions a lot!

Good game. It was fun, it had good puzzles.
Dietrich Epp8 May 2013, 00:27
Level 6 was just kind of frustrating, with the blocks not lining up exactly right, so I gave up.
RealyUniqueName8 May 2013, 12:11
Great execution. Too hard for me, gave up on level 5
GaTechGrad10 May 2013, 04:47
This reminds me a lot of the block on ice puzzles in games like A Link to the Past. Level 3 and 4 had me stumped for awhile, but I finally got it. I gave up on level 5.

Level 6 really ruined the game for me, unfortunately. I was really into it up until that point. The design honestly just feels like you got sloppy and that the game is bugged.

The remarkable thing here is that I wouldn't have this strong a reaction if the game weren't actually really fun and cool otherwise. The music is perfect, and the pacing and puzzling is great. Just not Level 6.

Really interesting and fun puzzle, with cool music, nice graphics, and simple gameplay, reminiscent of Sokoban. It got very hard, but it was fun. Nice work.

Very difficult but nice puzzle design. Some of the puzzles seemed to be unsolvable at first, so much the better it was to solve them.

Well I was going strong until level 6 XD
Slick design and gameplay, good work.
Madball11 May 2013, 14:08
Level 6 is broken. Exits aren`t aligned, so I ended up with all shapes paritally on exits. The level wasn`t completed. http://puu.sh/2Re9Z.png
The atmosphere is nice, and the game is very detailed.
mollymus11 May 2013, 17:54
Love these games!:) Didn't bother with level 6 though as it seemed more like a timing thing than an actual puzzle!:)
euwaku11 May 2013, 18:18
This gets difficult very fast :D
Very neat. Should be integrated into the next Prof Layton's game ^^
someone
someoneauthor11 May 2013, 19:07
The slight offset in level 6 was intentional. It is possible to complete without messing about with timing moves.
Hint: The shapes are round and the line on the side is two and a half tiles down...

Stuck at level 5. Good game, works well, but too hard too fast IMO. Also lacks a "mute" button or a longer music loop as it becomes annoying.

Sliding the circles to arrive at the destinations interested me. If you continue to develop this, I started to lose hope in level 4.
Xanjos12 May 2013, 22:33
Puzzles were pretty hard but the overall concept is good.

Really clever and quite tricky at points. Like the sound effects.

Love the music and the style. Very relaxing yet quite difficult! It bothered me at first why I wasn't getting done at one point until I saw the shapes inside the circle. It wasn't as obvious at first, but it went on smoothly after that. Good job on the puzzles!
