"An underrated gem"

Well done. Crisp layout, good production values, wonderful boldness in ramping the difficulty up. All-around one of the best flash I've ever played in this genre. It has been a pleasure to spend a few hours crunching through all the levels over several days. The inclusion of 40 levels made for a solid feel, particular thanks for the care selecting such good boards.
As remarks to fellow players - indeed, around 18-20 or so some hard boards appear - that goodly time comes around to power up the mental wattage versus intuitively shuffling things around to happily discover a solution. Things get more tightly woven and the variants of solution cut down sharper to require logical induction and deduction for key pieces in the right places. Working different angles of approach, negative space rather than positive, applying an analytic eye at probable symettry vs assymetry, and so forth, helped me a lot at this point.
My only critique, and it doesn't subtract from thinking this is a 10, is that the music (which is pleasing) could use some variance. When you've been at that vexatious board (which board will vary by player) for a while and are going arghh! you can find yourself wishing for something to jar your mind to fresh approaches, and a background shuffle of the track at the 15 or 20 minute mark on a board would have been a deft touch.
Kudos. Brilliant game.
