Gameplay
The goal of the game is to deliver your body to the goals. To play the game you are first suggested to observe the obstacle movements and paths. Then, by moving your mind through the level, you plan the movement of your body. After reaching the goal with your mind, the movements of the body and obstacles begin. Now there is no more turning back. If your body makes contact with an obstacle, you can try to think of a new path.
The side goals of the game are to achieve the level in the least possible movements. Also, another goal of the game is to get the bonuses.
