Evaluation: Fun original puzzle game with interesting story

Experience: This is a puzzle game where many of the tactics that you use to complete levels may feel like bugs at first glance. So if you can't figure out a level at first, try breaking the game. The gameplay consists of acquiring the ability to move in the different directions, and linking certain directions to moveable platforms - both mechanics I have not seen anywhere else. There is also an interesting philosophical story about the possibilities - both good and bad - about a superintelligent AI.

Suggestions: I'd recommend for anyone who likes puzzle games, or thinking about the philosophical implications of AI advancement (The story does a good job of not pushing any one position on the player, but providing them with the information to derive their own conclusions). The story contains some discussion of suicide and other sensitive topics, and as such may not be optimal for younger children, but I think the game is good for older kids especially those interested in learning programming. Though the game itself does not consist of programming in a typical sense, it consists of a similar loop of coming up with a solution and then finding ways around all the things that prevent that initial solution from working.
