Awesome game with just the right amount of difficulty. One of the best purchases I've made on the app store. I recommend this to anyone who likes a well-done puzzle game. Well worth the price!
Why can't I start a game

Update2: FYI– to return to an already completed level from the "levels" menu, you have to tap the tiny little colored dot at the right side of that level's title bar. I don't know why it's not possible to just tap anywhere in the area of the level name, but this kind of unexplained and super-fussy interface stupidity is mostly Apple's fault, since they stopped enforcing the iOS UI minimum tap-target size requirements long ago. Some developers also like to get cute with their UI's in this way and then make things worse by not having a help menu, for example, this app. Explaining this annoying quirk is the least I can do. Be prepared to tap and tap and keep tapping away, trying to hit the one special pixel in that teeny colored dot just so… you'll get it eventually. Think of it as one more puzzle to solve! Update: My phone wouldn't sync properly and so I had to restore it from a backup. Once it was restored, Optia worked just like it's supposed to. Unfortunately, all of my progress was erased and the advanced levels were locked. If you've encountered a similar problem, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I wish I had tried this before my stupid phone went blooey and required resetting… it might've saved all my progress. -------- Just updated this the other day and now it won't let me play at all. I can see the levels menu but nothing works to start playing. What happened?

Heard about this app when they sponsored ATP. Its a great and challenging puzzle game. Pros: -No in app purchases! -Huge number of levels -Level editor! -Did i mention no in app purchases?! -Great learning curve Cons: -no hinting mechanism for when you get stumped (you know, outside of the entire internet) -itd be nice to have a way in app to get help on a level without needing to get the entire answer off the web. -this is super nitpicky but when something reaches a certain level of quality thats the type of remaining issues you have: when you blow up the laser generator by hitting it with a laser accidentally (which was delightful the first time it happened) , the animation that occurs during the "reset" takes too long. I want to continue playing immediately, not watch an animation.
