A very clever "rotate the field to align bridges to where you want to go" game. I like loading an image, and then "painting" by just trying to find paths to all the pixels. It's wandering fun, without any pressure to find an exit, but rather, a meandering way to try to fill in every dot, in as strange a way as I can imagine. There are also levels with puzzles that you try to find a path to an exit, and the pixels disappear after you exit them, so if you pick the wrong path you have to start over. In those puzzles I found myself trying to find a path backwards from the destination exit in order to find the solution. The puzzles can be randomly created which is very cool, and allow the sliders to go all the way up to ludicrous. The volume controls are upside down (drag DOWN to turn the volume UP). So yeah... even the controls are puzzling! :P This reminds me somewhat of regular jigsaw puzzle solution mechanics - of rotating the board around to find a way to where you want to go. It's a very loose metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle. I'm very impressed with the cleverness of this game - the UI is wordless and thus needs no translation - it only has symbols to explain things, and you are left to figure out your way around. Recommended if you want something a little weird to spend some time exploring.
