Technically this is fine, but it feels... more like potential for a cool idea rather than an actually cool idea. The game introduces all of its different pieces but rarely combines them into anything greater. Why can't we have the replicating mechanic mixed with the multi-player mechanic? That'd be cool. What about the portals, you could use those with both the replicating mechanic and the multi-player mechanic in cool ways. And the gimmick for the last few levels comes too late, that could've been played around with more than it was. On top of that, for the short length of the game, it really feels like there should be more to it. And even at a dollar... this is basically an underdeveloped free flash game at best. Technically its faults aren't doing anything wrong necessarily, but it's just not doing as much as it should be doing. I can't really recommend it, even for its low price, but I mean, it's clever and mildly fun for as brief as it lasts, I guess?

Honestly, it's a nice game, but I completed it 100% in 23 minutes (shortest paths on all puzzles). I was actually really into it. Nice puzzles, even if they are a bit easy, relaxing sounds and unique puzzle mechanics, but as soon as the puzzles start getting a bit more difficult it suddenly ends. If you're looking for a really good puzzle game I'd recommend Hexcells over this any day. Much better value for money and infinite puzzle generator.

Pro: + little interesting casual game + cool game mechanic + only 1$ + simplistic graphics + Figure out the game mechanics on your own! + good interface (possible to replay all levels after finishing them) Contra - unfortunately maybe a bit too short (needed about 20 minutes), but it`s only 1$ Well, definitely liked the game!

Not worth it. Although it is cheap, there is not enough challenge and content in the game (I completed it 100% in 31 minutes).

If you like mechanically simple but satisfying puzzles, this has your number. The whole thing lasts about half an hour, maybe another ten minutes for 100% completion, but you might as well go for it. I'd recommend other puzzle games such as Hexcells first, but considering the price, it's more than worth a buy.

Short, fun puzzler for completionists. A good amount of puzzles that stay fun without getting old, enough options are introduced throughout the short puzzle "adventure" to keep you interested. The ending is followed by SPOILERS: [spoiler]puzzles that deceive you, forcing you to do the wrong move instead of the right move.[/spoiler] Well made, simple music, bug-free, always a plus with bargain bin completionist games. Don't worry if you can't perfect your moves while progressing through the game, after you finish the game, the game will restart with all levels unlocked, placing a star at the bottom of levels that you perfected, as in finished with the least amount of moves.

No tutorial, no clues. Just your logic and creative thinking. Kinda short but still amusing.

It is a fun game, and I really like the art style which you were going for. One huge con is that it only takes around 20 minutes to play. I am a sucker for simplistic games and that is why I'm going to recommend this to other, but please make it longer! It would also be good if you could change the "esc"/exit button to something else because I pressed it too many times believing I would restart the level! It was a fun game while it lasted :)
