A puzzle game about managing concurrency.
Important Note: You can't drag the pieces around by holding the mouse button. You click once to pick up, once to put back down. Just didn't have time make holding-down work.
This is an orb. Every orb has some number.
This is a flag. For every orb there is a flag, and your goal is to match them up.
Every orb and flag is connected to a path. When you hit GO, the orbs will move from left to right, towards the flags.

If two swappers are aligned vertically, only the top swapper will function:
This is a stopper. This will slow down an orb by one step, allowing you to sync them up correctly:
Finally, there are certain spots where swappers cannot be placed. These are marked with red:
