Simple puzzle game. You control a yellow square, and your goal is to reach a chequered square. When you move, all the tiles you pass through turn into walls, so progressively the number of possible moves decreases. In a way, each move blocks certain paths, but at the same time it can open up new ways to move around the level.

I like this game. As progress is made, the player is boxed in. It fits in well with the theme and it also reflects life to an extent. A philosophical puzzle game. Well done.

Please don't put LD games on ad sites like kongregate.. Other than that, after a lot of trying I did manage to finish the game! Awesome little mini game. But I would probably not be able to do any more than 10 :stuck_out_tongue: Far too frustrating!

Great game, would love to see the expanded version. Agree with commenters above -- level 4 is way harder than levels before (or after, actually, it's the hardest level of the game until level 9, where I stuck)

really nice game concept, enjoyed it a lot. I like these games where you need to really think of your next move to win the game.

I beat it. Cool game! Sometimes blocks don't show up on turns.
