Thinking Inside The Box

You play as a little, square guy trapped in a maze of cardboard boxes filled with a myriad of challenges. The rules are simple: move the diamonds to the appropriate pressure plates without letting different-colored diamonds touch—swap, push, and phase to complete levels as quickly as possible.
