I've avoided getting this game for a long time, as I thought it would get boring quickly. After all, the whole game is built around a simple line drawing mechanic... how interesting can it be?

Don't let the appearance fool you. It's amazing how much variety this game has. The puzzles are all different in their own way, and are very intellectually rewarding to complete.

The difficulty is pretty high, and there are no explicit tutorials. When you encounter a new concept for the first time, there are usually a few simple puzzles that use the concept, to help you figure out how to complete them, but the game will never give you any instructions.

Sometimes you might think you understand something but be completely wrong about it. It can be frustrating, but I urge you to not google the solutions. Don't hesitate to go back to simpler versions of the puzzle that is causing you problems and try to see if you can figure out different rules that satisfy the puzzle. If you get stuck, you can simply go to another area to try a different kind of puzzles, and come back later with a fresh mind. There is no strict path to follow. Closing the game and coming back another day is also a valid strategy ;)

Finally, there is more to the game than meets the eye at first. I don't want to spoil anything, but let's just say that the map design is very impressive!
