You can always optimize further

Every puzzle has infinite solutions. There's always someone who did the same puzzle in less cycles, or more cost effective, or in less space. There's no perfect solution and that breeds creativity in every player. The game lets you create GIFs of your solutions, furthering that creative drive.

Loving this. On Ch. 4, and its getting pretty tough. I might not finish it because of that, but I had so much fun with the first 3 chapters that even if I don't complete it I'd say it's worth it.

Clever light-programming puzzles with lots of room for creative solutions
Beautiful art and visual design
Good but repetitive music
