I’m enjoying this game very much, but I keep getting the feeling that I am standing on a ledge. It freaks me out every time my block tumbles away. Bad dreams tonight, I know it. ---

welp. Made it a third of the way there, to stage 11, in 549 moves. I hate the world right now. Must keep going. If I’m not back by sun-up, call 911. ---

OK. Stage 11 was made out of EVIL. Black, obsidian-laced EVIL. On to stage 12 in the morning. May you all burn in hell. ---

You know, I found this game about three weeks ago and was like “should I post this on the boards?” but decided not to out of the goodness of my heart. You, on the other hand, must be made of pure evil to inflict this upon the thousands who read this board. 😛 ---

I made it to 28 yesterday, and I had to cheat on it, so I gave up. My only hint, which I don’t think needs a spoiler, is to figure out where your piece needs to be, and work backwards from there. Also, if you’re, for example, horizontal (x), and are one square too far to the right, go to vertical (z), then… umm… vertical (y). From that point you can turn one square at a time. Then, back up to (z), and back down to (x). Let me know if that’s not clear. ---
