26. Level 8 introduces the transporter
Just right arrow twice to hit the transporter switch and then move the cubes individually to the hole. Park the first cube on the edge of the hole, hit the space bar to switch control the the other cube and move it behind the parked cube. they will rejoin automatically.

8. this is the type of game that I wish that I could hang over someone's shoulder and watch them play,
because it is sure too hard for poor little brain. I'll keep trying though!

9. I even dreamed about it
Haven't touched it yet today but I think I'm working on level 21.

What a great game. Such simple rules, yet almost infinite complexity.

25. Look over this person's shoulder
I purposely avoided spoilers because I wanted the satisfaction of beating the game on its own terms. FWIW, I was never able to solve Rubik's Cube. This game just made sense to me somehow.

Anyway, here's a seven minute video of all 33 stages, set to music even:

(Spoiler warning)

28. This is great! I played it once and then was going to play it again and it wouldn't let me?????
I was going to ask you if it would be ok to send it to a couple of friends that I had sent the game to. It looks like it is on some sort of personal page, and therefore I was afraid to send it to anybody without your permission.

Also, is it setup to just run once? I don't understand why I can't watch it again - but then I know absolutely nothing about computers.

Again, job well done!!

29. I can and have played it multi[ple times
Maybe it has something to do with your cookies.

It doesn't belong to me so you don't need to ask me for permission.

16. I was born to play this game
Word games, not so much.

We all have our talents.

15. It's very tricky
Some of the soft switches you don't want to hit. Some you do. So each level, there's a bit of trial and error going on.

18. Screen shot, screen shot - when you reach the goal - so I can have a vicarious thrill -
I'll sure never get that far, but it's fun to watch somebody else.

19. I'm on 28 now, but I have to leave
I should have it by tonight or tomorrow.

I've also got the codes for stages 21-28.

I will start making screen captures.

23. FINISHED!!!!!
Sure it's after 2AM PDT and I have to work tomorrow but it was worth it!

Here's a screencap of Stage 33 with just two moves left:


Stage 33 was surprisingly easy compared to stages 30-32.

Yet, what a fantastic game! I would struggle on a level for an hour or so and give up, frustrated. Then I'd find on returning, I could solve the stage like it was child's play.

I hope someone designs more levels.

24. Congratulations!!! This is the most fun game that I have played on the internet. I, too, wish they
would make more levels - so I can watch you play them - because I sure can't :)

Thanks for the screenshots.

30. Wasn't the last stage kind of a let down?
And Stage 29 (I think) with the six switches you had to hit in the right order was just annoying instead of fun.

But I was hoping for something big on the final stage.

I want more stages!
