Thanks for buying it and the great suggestions! I'll look into that move counting bug..

I just bought it! Nice game. It's fun and challenging, I like it. :)
And I think I found a small bug: Although it said that this puzzle can be solved in 8 moves, I solved it just with 4. Then it said I could solve it in 4, and I solved it in 2.

You could add something like a help-button, sometimes it gets really difficult and it would help to see how you can get it solved.

Also, a few difficulty levels and a top-score list for each of them would be nice.

Just wanted to let you know I've located the bug in my solution finder so it will be fixed soon. And it will be extended to have a help button.

I've designed 50 levels that are going into the game as well, I just have to write a new level select screen! As you complete levels, the next one will be unlocked and you can replay levels at any time.

Thank you for your great suggestions, and they will be in the game!
