A short flash game with hints of genius that make it an enjoyable experience. It's a simple puzzle game with unique imagery.

It's not exactly a full game as it can be beat in well under an hour, which is most likely due to the fact that it is a flash game. The soundtrack is good, but it's just one track repeating over and over again and the controls could have used just a bit of tightening. There's also no replay value. When it comes down to it it's hard to fault a flash game for being short and only being an experience you'll want to play once, but had they added more content and tightened everything it's clear they could have had a brilliant game on their hands. As it stands now it feels more like a demo to a full game, but you really should play it if you get the chance.
