Really cool puzzle game that appears really simple at first, but is actually a pretty decent challenge. Most of the game's 9 levels really only require precise attention to the order of operations you have to work with. There are several hazards in each level, with complete avoidance as key to bypass them, however, that's easier said than done. You can move a number of characters through their respective layers to exits, but making a clear path for each ball is very delicate. You can easily trap your characters, destroy them, or even invert their layer without needing to. It's a tight game of balancing what each character, button, and object has to do and where it needs to be before thinking about the endgame. Essentially the game feels like a series of strings with different knots or breaks that need to be pulled apart and then reconstructed. I think that's where the most surprising and honestly really fun aspect comes from. It's actually pretty thrilling to get each part in order and then nail the ending. Maybe I'm gushing a bit too much and even found some levels harder because I overthought the order in which things needed to be pulled apart. The game also includes a level editor that can challenge you to make an equation of your own for others to solve. All in all, I definitely recommend you get lost in Layers.
