Fun Game ... gotta few "1-stars" at the end though lol
I think there was a block-pushing game a while ago that looked and played a lot like this one, only it was keyboard-controlled and the viewpoint was semi-isometric instead of parallel.
I bet you're thinking of Cubrius, one of Digital Seed's previous titles.
Yes! That was it.
Pretty well done game, but I think I would prefer keyboard controls, as the mechanics are a little awkward with a laptop touchpad. It seems like it would lend itself perfectly to the traditional u-d-l-r controls.
Yes, keyboard controls would be better, unless you were playing this on some kind of tablet PC I guess.
There also needs to be a quick explanation as to which shapes etc are acceptable, so I don't feel like an idiot at level 2...
So it's basically Cubis... except the controls suck.
I noticed this game is available as an android app. That might explain the controls.
It's a variation of the evergreen Sokoban, but with a slow animation between each turn, and no clear reason as to why I have to undo a combination to re-do it and only then it scores.. meh..
3 stars on all but the last level, where I can't do better than two ...
Nice puzzle though.
