I suppose you pronounce it Obi-Wan. The game involves moving bricks by kicking them and pushing them toward designated spots marked by little sparkling dots, I think. Or maybe just the blinking brick? It’s so long and tedious that I quickly lost interest.
The lack of polish doesn’t encourage perseverance either (no sound effects, no game over screen, and most importantly, no way to restart the level if you get stuck).
Update:
I decided to give it another go to provide a fourth screenshot. I spent a lot of time trying to finish a level. Unfortunately, at some point, the controls stopped responding. I’m not sure if it’s a bug, an issue with the emulation, or a bad crack…
Another surprising detail: if you closely watch the character’s animation, it seems affected by graphic corruption, roughly every five seconds and barely noticeable. It’s intentional! The developers apparently tried experimenting with subliminal messages to inspire positive thoughts in the player. Perhaps they weren’t confident in their game. At least, it gave me something to show in the fourth box.
