Very clever game. I still haven't gotten too far in it yet.

I heard about this game from Jonathan Blow. This game helped convince him to hire Jack for their current game, and Jack ended up doing a lot of level design on the game.

And then Jack passed away a few months ago, at the young age of 25. Jonathan Blow talks about it in this clip[1].

This was extremely cute! I like the fact that each small puzzle had its own reset point, so you were never overstressed and could just keep retrying.

Love it! Reminds me about Chip’s Challenge! I used to play it on my old man’s 486 at the ripe age of 6 or 7. Found it last year on an online DOS emulator and was stunned to know that I knew the entire sequence of one of the earliest ice puzzles through pure muscle memory (some 25 years later)

Jack Lance was a genius game designer, I'm going to miss his yearly pi day puzzles so much

This strongly reminds me of the game Supaplex.
