I enjoyed that game a ton, despite its short length!

But how do you know the levels will always be solvable?!?!?!

  It’s a computationally proven property of 2d maps. If you find an unsolvable configuration, notify the nearest mathematician right away!

    Apparently anything involving angle brackets is digested by the commenting system, even if it’s a non-HTML tag like “sarcasm”.
    
    The game would be more fun on a torus. Just saying.
