This is an AWESOME game. I just beat it, and it took me a little over 4 hours. With 12 levels(more on the way, allegedly), that's about 15 minutes per level. And believe me when I say it's worth it.

Try it and tell me what you think!

Here's what I think: I think I posted about this game in this thread a bit over a month ago.

Naw, don't worry about it. You can't be expected to know the entire posting history of the forum. Suggestion (not criticism): Name your subject so that it has "MOTAS" in it. Then people who already played it can see at a glance what game you are talking about.

It's a cool game, for sure. I could play about 300 more MOTAS levels before getting bored with it. I even considered buying an in-game DROD ad in MOTAS but Logan never replied to my e-mail.

My favorite part was The worst puzzle I think was

×the one where you click on a tile, and it's four orthogonal neighbors would flip over. I think it was a bad puzzle because you didn't know at the outset that it would only require most of the tiles to be one color, and not all of them.

There's a similar puzzle in The Fool's Errand where you do need to flip over every tile on a 5x5 grid. It's one of my least favourite puzzles in general, but it also seems to be some sort of standard for the genre: puzzle games will have a tile flipping puzzle. In a way, I suppose DROD's trap doors fulfill this standard.

The puzzle in question is called "Lights Out" typically, and it can come in a variety of sizes with a variety of already flipped lights. There is a pretty easy algorithm for solving them (not optimally), and then people write programs and stuff to solve them in an optimal number of moves as well.
Search for Lights Out on google and I bet you'll find more than a few sites devoted to the topic, complete with java aplets and whatnot. Can you imagine? A whole web site devoned to a puzzle game with people coming and going and talking about it?!?! Woah, what am I saying?

Clayton put one on the second or third level of Claythro's Tower, as well.

There were also a couple in the colour dungeon of Link's Awakening DX (the Game Boy Color Zelda).

They were in the way, I'm sure you would have noticed.

They were the red and blue orbs, remember?

Oh yeah! Those! My bad. That was pretty small though... I'm not sure it counts as a puzzle. It's not challenging unless it's at least 4*4. At least not THINK THINK THINK challenging...

the soda machine. If you beat the pool in one shot I think you can get it to return a coin. Then you can get... THE SODA!

Think about it. What did the mouse follow before? Look at the edges between the slots. Keep thinking.

Ooooh. Level 2! My bad. The secret is to pay attention to your surroundings. As you've already noticed, stuff tends to be hidden well, sometimes in plain sight.
