Thi
s is a lovely, simple, but fiendishly difficult puzzle game! There are two mazes and you control a square in each maze. When you move the joystick, both of the squares in each maze will move in that direction unless their movement is blocked by a wall of the maze. Your aim is to get both squares on top of the white dot. Sounds easy? Well, there’s also a time limit…
