Nice puzzle idea with a lot of potential! Unfortunately the difficulty curve is a bit steep. It gets very hard very fast. If you are fine with that definitely give this game a go!

19 hours in at the time of this review and I'm still not even quite half way through the game. This game has a very unique movement/gravity system as its basic mechanic. There is no true up or down, only left and right movement, but left and right depend on your orientation on a given platform or block. It's pretty confusing at first, but it starts to make sense once you've completed the first few puzzles. The goal is simply to cover a glowing point or points with movable blocks--that's it. But the game forces you to exploit its unique movement mechanics to their full extent. Some puzzles look impossible at first, but persistence and experimentation will often surprise you with what can be done with such simple mechanics. Once more than half the levels in a given "zone" are complete, a new zone becomes available which adds a new feature to interact with the basic movement system, often making the game progressively harder, but very enjoyable to see how the new mechanisms change the puzzles and what's possible. The graphics, of course, are extremely basic, but don't let that fool you into thinking this is a boring game. The puzzles are top notch and very enjoyable. And they're generally pretty hard. So far, none of the puzzles require long, complicated sequences to solve, and are challenging in a relatively small solution space--my preferred puzzle types, in general. Don't overlook this one!
