[Bug report: the reset level button doesn't work]
This is one of those "so-close-and-yet-so-far" games for me. In one sense, okay, it's not original -- but that doesn't matter in this case, because it's a puzzle game and changing the puzzles changes the game (not to mention the tools given to solve the puzzles).
But... maybe the demo world (I didn't try any of the others) puzzles should have been a little more obvious. Maybe you should introduce the tools (elevator, fan, etc) one at a time, one per level. The fact that some things didn't behave the way I expected them to isn't directly your fault, but it can be avoided if you demonstrate how something works before the user needs to use it.
The fact that I had to find out for myself that elevators only act on one square of height, that fans need to be placed to the side, etc, etc, were all made more frustrating by the fact that the reset button didn't work.
As I said, I didn't explore the other worlds, but it seems like there's a lot to explore, so it's a shame that I just don't want to. Maybe no one else will have these problems, but... there's my two cents. Good luck!

Doh! I can't believe the Reset button is broken, it looks like it stopped working when I added MochiAds encryption. I'll fix this tonight and upload a new version... Sorry!
Thanks for the review.
