How it feels

a deceptively simple puzzle game that marries cheerful pixel art with brain-teasing logic, making each successful connection feel like a small victory

What players say

Players describe a short puzzle game with 36 levels where you connect dye blocks by moving obstacles. Reviews say it gets very hard and the gold medal move targets are punishing, but the game does not record your actual move count, only the medal tier. One player finds the red blocks frustrating and dislikes the mouse-and-keyboard-only controls.
