Use the Left mouse button to interact.

[If the item doesn't change you can't interact with it. Try doing something else to see if that changes]

Use the Right mouse button to .. un-interact.

[ex. Drop keys and Close doors]

Type the word "HINT" during any task to receive a possibly helpful hint.

[You won't see anything being typed onscreen though]

Due to time constraints there are only 10 tasks.

Possible Apologies from the Developer:

>>This was compiled with Java 7, so you'll probably need that if you don't have it.

>>You may need to allow network access so the game can talk to itself. (*LOCALHOST only)

>>This game was only tested on Win7 (64bit). Should work on Linux or Apples though.

>>This game won't work on screens smaller than 1360x768.

If any of these apply: Sorry about the inconvenience.

Genres: puzzle

the download page gives me not found

rjhelms26 Aug 2014, 04:44

Getting a 404 here as well.

I can't play it! Every time I click the link it brings up this webpage!

Should be fixed, sorry.

BethhhB26 Aug 2014, 04:56

Running on OS X, and the download page seems correct, but the file is:
"Overlap_jar.rar.html"
Not quite sure what to do

Super Hamster26 Aug 2014, 05:15

When I ran it I get a whole bunch of those random weird letters and symbols.

CoopNasty26 Aug 2014, 05:26

I got it all downloaded and opened just fine, but neither left nor right click did anything. I tried typing in hint on my keyboard but that didn't do anything either.

tommyboys010726 Aug 2014, 05:33

I can play it, and window's movement is cool!

But I think that the mechanism is not obvious.
I am stuck in part 2, and don't know what to do.

buckslice26 Aug 2014, 05:33

I got in running but input doesn't work for me either.

JNyknn26 Aug 2014, 05:36

At first I thought the game is broken, but when I got the first puzzle solved, I realised how intelligent puzzles this game have. Great job!

moomoo112author26 Aug 2014, 05:37

Ok, changed it to a zip, and changed where it is hosted, hopefully that fixes things.
I'll get an answer sheet up soon in case anyone might need it.

Eli26 Aug 2014, 06:38

The idea is awesome! And a more detailed hint would be better.. I'm stuck :(

ruerob26 Aug 2014, 06:48

Nice game. You really think outside the box. haha.

jprogman26 Aug 2014, 07:48

I think there's a bug in level 7. I got the key, but it won't unlock the door.

jprogman26 Aug 2014, 08:02

Worse yet -- again at level 7, I believe the game crashed at the part that I did get the key. I've decided not to play anymore up to that point. It's a very interesting game, but the resolution required to play this is frustrating. Why does my screen need to go BEYOND 768 vertical pixels?
Some puzzles are just too tough for me not to use hints.

I need to mention this: I felt I've already seen a game like this before. I must have seen it on YouTube or something...

moomoo112author26 Aug 2014, 23:58

Fixed a major issue where the game wasn't winnable on smaller screens, still not possible on screens under 1360x768 though, sorry

SeanWiles27 Aug 2014, 01:39

I didn't get very far before getting stuck. Cool concept.

Galan27 Aug 2014, 01:49

Huh, that was a head scratcher. I'm surprised I beat it. That said, the concept and mechanics were rock solid. I'd love to see this expanded to a full game, if only a better hint were given as to what the game actually is.

TeamConn27 Aug 2014, 02:06

I seem to be stuck on level 4. Anyways, cool game.

LandoSystems27 Aug 2014, 04:42

That's a super clever game... possibly too clever for me, thanks for posting the answers. Great work!

DaGamesta28 Aug 2014, 02:58

Moving the game window itself, as the first answer implied, did not solve anything. I saw the other blanks, but this did not fill them up. I could not figure out the first puzzle. It's an interesting concept, but I can't figure it out.

moomoo112author28 Aug 2014, 23:44

Um, it looks like the wrong fix got sent to the server..
My apologies, I'm not having much luck with hosting.

Teejay529 Aug 2014, 01:43

Wow, really cool concept/mechanic!

MarekkPie29 Aug 2014, 01:56

Amazing twist on the theme. Controlling both the windows can be a bit tedious, but it fantastic nonetheless.

bentog29 Aug 2014, 19:45

I'm not a real fan of the mysterious impossible puzzles style, but I like the overlap thing. Still a great game for those who are into it, but I personally don't like [Spoiler Alert] having to search for morse code in a game.

MintArcade29 Aug 2014, 19:48

Awesome. It blow my mind, good thing not literately. Super. Best implementation of the theme!!!!!!

Rage Paint29 Aug 2014, 19:49

Had some trouble getting it to work, but once I did, it was awesome. Felt like the game was breaking the 4th wall, definitely thinking outside of the box. Interesting take on the theme.

vividhelix31 Aug 2014, 17:18

Very cool idea and concept, but I got stuck on the level that says use the key. I used the hint too, but didn't help!

You need to ease into it though, I feel many people just quit when they tried to do something on the window in the first window...

moi9310131 Aug 2014, 21:33

The interaction with windows is awesome !

Partially Exciting31 Aug 2014, 22:03

Very interesting mechanic! Great use of theme. More please.

Managore1 Sep 2014, 01:50

Oh wow, I am really freaking happy to see someone else explore this interpretation of the theme!! And the game is really excellent, too!!

Tosic2 Sep 2014, 07:16

Innovative idea, kinda reminds me of doors 100! :D

albertnez4 Sep 2014, 18:18

Very creative game and good concept of the theme.

Cake&Code6 Sep 2014, 17:59

That was really awesome! I love when games take an idea and push it to the limit, the puzzles were super inventive and really fun to work through! I really hope you keep going with this idea :D
