Okay, so maybe it's simple or... maybe I am! =P Move the cards around and have dude do his job. You apparently don't have to use all the cards and there seems to be no death. Not that I've finished it or anything.

I'm getting cocky now...

Not so much as provided a seamless transition!

Finished it last night. The game gets to be... tedious. The more complex the levels get, the less options you even have to line stuff up. So you start at "I must come in from the top right to this screen to get the key" and are best served brute forcing it step by step backwards to your current location. There is only one option at each step more often than not.

That said! The concept is awesome, and every few levels they sneak in some new way to use it which makes you come up with a clever solution, which makes the game pretty sweet indeed.

See, what you describe as tedious is, to me, challenging. Makes me think about several steps at once, and I think that's a good thing.

Pretty fun game. I like these sorts of puzzle games.

It became less fun at the end when jumping skill, accuracy, timing, etc.. became a factor.

Could use a few more customization options too... (i.e. remapping keys... I kept hitting space bar to jump)

I gave them feedback, praising them on the intuitive and elegant way in which they teach you to play the game. I also included that if they were looking to expand it at some point and were looking for new concepts, a mechanism by which blocks could rotate could be intriguing.

Could add colors to increase complexity too, but too be honest, I found it just about right for difficulty for a web game/time waster.

I like to reserve the higher priority brain cells for other more pressing matters (like what to have for lunch!) :)

Edit:
They could add timers, enemies, traps, a weapon, .. the possibilities are nearly endless.. but I like it fine the way it is TBH.
