Great game, I'm just annoyed that every time I remove a piece that sends the laser into another piece, I get that annoying pop up message telling me the beam doesn't go there. I think after the first world people get it.

I've taken calc 4 and level 1-2 took me about 5 minutes to figure out... my 8 year old brother got it in 10 seconds. >__________>

I don't remember having this problem last time I played this game, but isn't there a way to turn off the "Too much!" "Too little!" notifications as you're playing with the lasers? I KNOW it isn't the right amount, and hitting the "Stop showing me this already" box five times per level is getting a little old.

My only complaint is that if you restart a level when you're providing partial power to a ship, the sound effect for the ship loops endlessly unless you go back to level select. Not even muting sound effects works. It's a minor annoyance at best, though.

Great game! Not only does it have great instructional potential, but it's very challenging as a game as well. The music, graphics, and even thematic unity are all good! It just went into my favorites. My only objections are, first, that you've made an educational science game called "Refraction" which doesn't teach the science concept of refraction, though the game hints at the pun. Hyphenating it to "Re-fraction" might have been a better choice. Also, needs a clear button to quickly start a level over.

I loved the game for the first... 5 minutes. Then, the "too much power!!" thing really started to tick me off. I KNOW there's too much power, give me a quarter of a second to put in the other piece...

Took me two go's to get all the coins in 7.9. This is what 7.9 looks like for me atm. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2961/refraction79.jpg

Great game, but I have one question: How the heck does a penguin know how to fly a space ship? Unless... OMG, it's the penguin from Learn to Fly!!!

Great game, 5/5 but definitely either needs game completion to go up to hard or to add a badge for all Cards/Coins as a hard. Even an easy for the first 3 worlds or something would be encouraging.

There really should be a confirmation menu if you go to clear your progress... one miss click and several dozens of minutes of effort are gone.

Know what's annoying? Stupid popups that tell me what I ALREADY KNOW! Yes, I've only got a quarter of the power necessary, I'M NOT DONE YET!

I wish that instead of using a popup note when an object is being over/underloaded, you could symbolize it with, say, a color glow radiating from the object(s) in question. Even the shake effect they already have is enough to get the idea across without that text obstructing my view of the puzzle.

A sequel to this could also teach physics (light rays, angles of incidence and reflection, total internal reflection etc.)

Finally found a solution for 7-9 level with all coins: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/864/refraction79.png/
Only 6-7 card left for me to get.

Makes you think a bit - but that's just fine. Great music, I turned off my own music just to listen to it. I love it, 5/5 easily. If there was a 6 I'd probably push it. Greg - get on it.

Hmm.. This seems to not load for me on my old shabby PowerPC.. Running FireFox and Mac10.4.11 and it gets stuck at the screen where it says 'Loading' in green, and an empty bar below it. Nothing happens for several minutes.

I love this game. I'm a maths teacher who sometimes finds it difficult to get the younger children interested in fractions. A game I can recommend :)

Took me some time to realize that you cannot get both the star and cards for some level, without clearing it twice :(
