Full Title:Super Interplanetary Space-Internet Saving Company Deluxe Task Force Adventure (it was too long to fit on the Puzzlescript screens)

Various planets across the universe are having difficulties with their internet. You have been tasked with repairing their internet to keep the connections between the worlds strong. Without the internet, the lack of cat pictures will drive the planets into total war. Go forth, brave warrior (or internet technician, whatever) and save the Galactic Interwebs from certain doom (or downtime, whatever)!

This was my first attempt at using PuzzleScript, and I think it came out pretty well. I'm pleased with the size of the game (22 levels, I believe) and I think I had a good challenge level. Let me know what you think about that.

this is really cool! good story and puzzles
My only complaint is that some of the puzzles are really long, so it's kind of annoying if I make one mistake, I have to start all over again. Maybe an undo button would help?

*points at title screen*

The Z button is the undo button. :)

I do like that there's a story in this one :P. At first I thought the puzzle mechanics were gonna be pretty standard, but you mixed it up sufficiently later on. Overall, pretty good!

Clever puzzle game with simple, easy to understand rules and a pretty funny story. I liked it a lot. :)

Cool puzzle game. I like the ramp up in difficulty across the levels.

At first it seems average block pushing game, but it's actually great with viruses, firewalls and antiviruses, which make the game interesting and have good amount of puzzle depth. Kept me playing it for a long time and had a lot of fun.

Nice humour, and the puzzles get hard very quickly, well done :) Also, "22 levels, I believe" - sleep deprivation getting the better of you? :)

Great puzzler. There was a lot to it, you put some thought into the mechanics.

Clever puzzle ideas and I like the sounds, moving was super responsive as well and that was nice too.

Hi there. Did about 6, up to the first with two-colour receptacles. Good level design and nice text to lead player along. I think the 2-colour needs some explanation.

Nice puzzle game - I like! :-)
Good job!

Nice puzzle design. I'd suggest trying to shorten a few of the levels that had many pieces that needed to be moved around, I found them a bit tedious. Things got a whole lot more interesting when additional game elements were introduced.
