I beat 16. Taking a time out for 17 though after a few brief attempts. Cool game, thanks for the link. ---

I was thinking that this game was the game I thought it was. It’s elsewhere on the web as 3D logic cube. I once got up to 23, but I had to start over (I was playing it with my Wii actually, and had to relinquish control of the TV.) I was stuck on 16 for the longest, and it drove me crazy, cause I knew I beat it. I get the general premise, and rules of thumb, but as I’ve lost all progress in the game, I dont want to get pulled back in. I have a love hate relationship with games like this. … hate that I love them so much. I mean, I KNOW I can beat it. Eventually. ---

I got through 16, 17, 18 okay, but now I am totally stumped on 19. Grrr. ---

[QUOTE=phungi] can’t work it on a Macintosh 2-button “mighty mouse” [/QUOTE] I gave up on my mac keyboard and mouse a long time ago. I am working my iMac with a …Microsoft keyboard and mouse! Hey, I found something that Micro$oft is good for! You guys are making me think that I can actually conquer Level 16. Back into the fray. ---

Ugh, also stuck on 16. Usually I can just stare at a level for awhile and the solution will suddenly reveal itself to me, but I’m stumped and my brain hurts. ---

Ugh. Level 16 bites. Pretty soon I am going to break down and read those spoilers. Thanks so much, **featherlou** , I needed this like I needed a hole in the head. 😉 ---

19 is a trick, right? It’s unsolvable and just put there to drive me crazy and keep me from going to bed. ---

I got through all 30 levels after much crying, obsessing, and losing my entire freaking day. It was worth it, though. ---

L17 now as I wait for the first of several install dances to finish. It’s evil. EVIL IS WHAT I SAY. And I’m sharing the misery far and wide. 😃 ---

Woohoo, I finished! Wow, that was a brain-frying exercise for sure. Oddly enough the last two were easier for me. #26 was a right bastard. I think I only got one bonus – my final score was 50534. Thanks for this, **featherlou**. Lots of frustrating fun. 🙂 ---

I’m stuck at 17 right now (at home). Any way to “save” a password to skip straight to a level. I couldn’t find one and I’d like to work on it at work. ---

A small hint for 16:There’s one uncolored square in the solution. ---

I noticed in the final ten that it either took me about 30 seconds to solve a puzzle, or three hours. THey were easy very simple or very hard, no moderately difficult ones in the bunch. ---

If anyone can offer guidance on 19 it would be appreciated. My brain is about to assplode. ---
