i didn't know the 1st one i checked rapidly but jumped to the sequel immediately. i play though about 10 puzzles i found them pretty interesting to solve.

I'm glad to see this link is making the rounds. This game is so addictive and fun. I'm currently stuck on level 25. They get really hard at around 16, although there are still the occasional easy one (I think 20 was a joke).

This was probably posted forever ago on the front page, but Dyson's Telescope Game is a similar puzzle game. In fact, it's pretty good for a company that makes vacuums. The names of the games seemed to have changed since I last played in October of 2003, but at the time the hardest Grand Master level could be solved using this solution.

6 was hard, as was 17.

knave, I hate you. I was just about to go home...no, wait, I am home. Shit. Must. Stop. Must...anyway, I'd never seen the first Orbox, but both of these remind me of the Dyson game, like sequential said, and Cubeoban discussed here previously . Some part of my brain is awash in dopamine.

It's okay knave you can come out of your hole now. MetaFilter has dragged me back from the game.

So, who else lost their points to an infinite loop on 16? 17 was fun though.

I'm up to 28... 26 was easy for me! But I struggled like hell on 21 - 25. What do you know. PW for 28 is kid668.
