Sometime I need a short, functional single-player shooter to kill a Sunday. This was my favourite one of those this year.

It was fun getting really into a puzzle game. Hasn't happened for a while. The great thing about this game is that you can feel yourself getting better at it the more you play it, which isn't something that you get from a lot of single-player games anymore.
