3D sliding tile puzzle game. I've never found "solving" these kinds of puzzles difficult, but trying to find the optimal path is much more challenging.

I naturally like solving puzzles, so this game is pretty fun. Word to the wise, the hint is always find the solution first then optimize after finding the solution. If you hate puzzles or feel like it's a waste of time then you'll hate this game.
