How'd this one slip under the radar? It's pretty good! It's an interesting variation on the usual sokoban puzzle. Instead of the usual grids that are common, this has a board with various nodes on it. You can jump between these nodes if they are linked by a path. If there is no path between two adjacent nodes, you'll have to find another way to get there. The goal is to line up marbles of the same color next to each other on three connected nodes. This will unlock a gate allowing you a new path, usually to a level exit or to a previously blocked off part of the level to match another set of marbles together. It sounds simple but it quickly becomes complicated. You wouldn't think the node-based levels would change too much for this style of game but you'll quickly realize there are a lot more corners and edges to contend with. Often times when I was planning out my path, I kept catching myself trying to use a route where a marble would end up stuck in a corner, being unable to be pushed from any side. It also seems to add new tricks to the puzzles as you move on as well. About an hour into my playtime last night, I ended up being introduced to a new mechanic involving a mirror that lets you teleport between equivalent spaces. I didn't get to too many of those puzzles before I crashed to sleep but it seems like there is going to be plenty of variation in the game. I really enjoyed what I've played of this so far and I hope it manages to find its audience. The leaderboards for some of the levels only had about a dozen entries on it and I think the last puzzle I did only had five people on it. This deserves more success. If you like puzzlers, you'll like this one.
