The concept behind this game is a very simple one. You have two sets of circles. One set is bright red and connected by lines. The second set is gray. Your goal is to move the red nodes in a way that makes the red lines cross over the center of every node. It sounds like it is easy, but depending on some of the positions you will end up with some twisted proportions. As the levels get harder, you will be confronted with red nodes that are stationary.

As you begin the game, you will see that there is more than one way to accomplish your goal as you can get results with multiple permutations. When you get to level five you will find that your options dwindle sharply and for most there is only one right answer.
Some helpful tips to keep in mind for getting through challenging levels include:
* Don’t be shy about crossing lines.
* When in doubt, go bigger with your shape so that you will reach more of the grey nodes.
* When you encounter the stationary nodes, work from them to the rest of the dots.
