I beat the game in half an hour and will probably never touch it again. Pretty good for two bucks.

First, it's $2. Expectations were and should be very low, and did not get higher. However, it's great! Charmingly simple, first level takes all of 5 seconds. Little drop of dopamine, ya did good. Second level, you go "Oh, thats what's going on here, that's cute." might take a little longer to get a grip, but still fun. Third level, you realize why this game is tagged as "Difficult". I hope you learned well from the first two. Fourth level probably took most of my game time, made me want to pull out my spine and nerve endings with every narrow mistake, and generally hated existing. 10/10 would recommend.
