At first, you might think it's too easy-after all, each puzzle is just a collection of white squares on a grid-but the complexity grows organically, quicksanding you deeper with each level, until you find yourself waist-deep in Puzzle Solving Mode, goggling at some mad conglomeration of blockwork, and your brain shuts down in whinnying, eye-rolling stupefaction. ❋ Unknown (2009)
