    I have no idea about the gameplay. How does it work, how the control was?
    Thanks

    The gameplay is very similar to Trainyard. You draw arrows (and other stuff) on the grid and then you press play and watch how blocks move. Goal is to move blocks to circles with the same colour.

    The blocks can push each other, they can be combined to larger structures, or separated. In the video you can see never ending loop, which actually isn't a solution to any puzzle.

    It reminds me quite a bit of Trappped.

    Edit: ...only to check the Perfect Paths web site and discover this is from the Trappped developer!

    Yes it's actually Trappped iphone remake :) I totally forgot to mention that. However it will be completely new game. New levels (mainly because of 7x7 grid vs 8x8 grid) and it will be more accessible, so you don't need to be genius to understand how to play it.

    Thank you guys! :) I tried few musics and in the end there won't be any. Maybe I will make something for menu, but in game it was just disturbing.

    Any news on a price yet? I recently got addicted to SpaceChem so this is a instant purchase for me

    On a release date the price will be 1.99$. Will probably go higher later.
     
  14. Looks awesome! Looking forward to it!

    Love the art style

    love the mechanics too... :)

    I hope it does well for you at $1.99... I mean... Look how well Threes did haha

    Also, as a side-note... I wouldn't recommend starting at $1.99 then going higher, because then you'll probably lose any momentum you were gaining. Instead, you can start at, say, $2.99, then drop the price to the original of $1.99... Some people will see it as a deal, while others would have paid $1.99 anyways, unknowingly. Devious I know, but also something to take into considering if you're going to be messing with prices (something I personally try to avoid)
