Pros: Levels are challenging enough that I always feel satisfied, but not hard enough to be frustrating. If I want to finish a level quickly I can take some time thinking about it but if I want to just be Zen and meditative I can just move the block around for a while and see what happens. Cons: I would like a way to turn of the tap-to-move feature because I sometimes have to tap my screen just to keep my phone screen from turning off while I think.

If you want something relaxing and slightly cerebral before bed hocus. is the move. Imagine being on the surface of a a knotted, rectangularized, Möbius strip, and you can only escape by reaching a point on it's "other" side. The game increases in complexity quickly, but is not timed or points driven, so if you get caught at a level there's no stakes. You can go back and replay levels, too.

This app is a beautiful example of what should be a mobile game: fast fun to break out when you have a couple minutes to spare, no ads, no in app purchases. This game is perfect, because in encapsulates what a good time-killer is. The graphics arent anything to gawk at, but it's some rectangles and a red box, so who cares. this game is also extremely trippy, as the illusion of foreground and background intertwine in ways I have never seen. I love this game, and will continue loving it. 6/5
