I like the actual levels. The bits between the levels...not so much. Just frustrating trying to work out what arrow I need to click to get to another level. Kept accidentally finding myself in the same level again. I just don't care about which meta-path to take, just give me the next level. Also...those weird inter-level screens where you click or use arrows while the figures move glacially slow across the screen? A…
