EDIT: this doesn't count toward lederboard or achievements even though it claims it does. This is solely puzzle. Don't expect graphics out anything else. Once you understand the logic behind these they start to become easier to complete. Could have slightly made it more difficult by limited moves, rank by moves, or something as such. Good for wasting time so for a little bit of currency it is a good choice.

Serene, simple, yet mind-bendingly complex and unfortunately rather easy puzzles that calms the mind. My mind wanders a bit into the game as I pathfind different routes until I find the one that gets me to the endpoint. It could use some more challenging levels on the free ones to make it easier for potential and current players to buy it. Great bonus that you can play this game offline.

This game is incredibly well designed. It takes a very simple concept and goes wild with it. The game slowly teaches you to look at it with a different perspective without you even realizing it. Because the game doesn't outright TELL you how everything works. It only tells you the controls. Also, this game has a simple concept, but programming this must have been a nightmare. I'm genuinely impressed by this game
