I wonder whether I'm suppossed to be(come) Zen from either the game or the music. Once I get over my frustration, the game is very nice indeed ;)

@DrVoltage1: what onefifth said only applies if you have picked up a coin but have not put it down yet. I was confused, too, but that's what I think he meant.
@animeknight1994: worked great for me. are you sure you're following the placement rules? just saying, cause some people seem to have problems with them (or skip them)
@onefifth: oh noes! I finally figured out how to solve level 40 in a frantic coins-and-paper approach during a boring class at university and now I'm back home to enter the solution ingame, but the game won't load anymore D: It's stuck on the loading screen...
Thanks for doing so many replies! However your loading issue sounds not good at all! If you don't end up working it out on your own somehow send me a bug report and I'll see if I can replicate what went wrong.

Very enjoyable puzzle game. One small thing I especially liked was how the levels really had an order between them, with mostly just the coffee stains changed between the solution of one level and the initial state of the next.

I don't give out 5/5's lightly, but this was well designed and mentally stimulating enough to richly deserve it. The music is just the icing on the cake; the right level of calming and quiet to encourage thought without ever becoming obnoxious.
You're in luck because there IS an iOS version (as well as other mobile devices) and there are even 20 more levels in that version! Check the link in the game description.

With regard to advice on acing levels, think about how many moves you have to: a) Move things around, and b)Put coins on targets. For example, if you've got a seven-step level, and there are several targets empty, you will have to expend some of those moves putting coins onto targets, et cetera.
This is a very simplistic, yet complex game. I think the music accents perfectly the amount of thinking you're doing...not enough to be distracting, but just enough to be there. Well done, and I look forward to seeing what else you'll have for us in the future :) 5/5.

Fiddled around with the last level and finally beat it with the best rating after deciding to do something radical; I went back to do it again and couldn't remember how I beat it @_@

This game is like chess. It encompasses the idea of maximising efficiency with every single piece such that they work together in tandem to achieve a win in the best and fastest possible way. In particular, positioning is super important in the later levels. It lets you do things you wouldn't have imagined was possible :)

This is so awesome. It's not even a good word to explain how awesome it is. Oh, and by the way, this is a VERY good music! I wish I could download it! :D
It was considered, but when trying to get this to run on mobile devices... I can't even begin to explain the problems fonts gave us. I settled for just having the mouse cursor change :P

You can make acing a level a lot easier for yourself by counting the number of turns it takes to ace and then calculating what moves you can permit. Eg: you have to ace it in 8 turns and 6 coins are in the wrong place. That means you can move a coin from a wrong place to a wrong place twice or move a coin from a good place to a wrong place once. The rest of the time you have to move coins from a wrong a to a good place.

On most levels, the trick to Acing is to count how many moves it takes (on the meter to the left), then subtract the number of empty slots and you'll know how many free moves you have. For example, if it takes 5 moves to Ace and there's 3 empty slots, you know that three of your moves have to be coin-to-slot moves and you have 2 free moves (of course, if you know you have to move a coin from it's slot just subtract 1 free move and add 1 coin-to-slot move).

amazing game 5/5 stars. And as always nice graphics, or sounds are not really important for a puzzle game, it is an original idea that makes a puzzle game fun to play.

Best part about this game is that i now have a new way to screw-off with the change on my desk when the internet at work is down...WOOOOT

I know that some of these puzzles are from bar bets I used to remember a few of them to win free drinks, well done for turning it into a relaxing game with beautiful music! Keep it up!

Not really my cup of tea, but it works like a charm and I had a lot of fun until the challenge became too much for my liking. I can imagine real puzzle fans loving this game even more and I give it 4/5 stars as well, because I had fun - which I did not expect :-)

It's frustrating how easy it is to beat some levels, and yet how difficult it is to drop that ONE last coin move to get the ace

A very calming and fun game. It's not too hard and it's not too easy. The music is definitely nice as well. Excellent game. Reminds me of those old coin puzzles.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Perfect difficulty from my perspective. Took me about 15-20 minutes to finish them all, then additional 10-15 minutes to ace the ones I have not aced on the first try. Easy to understand and yet so many possibilities on how to procede and getting stuck on small thing can slower the progress for some time but yet it does not get frustrating, most likely the music helps a lot. For me 5/5

Great and relaxing. The hard badge is not so hard, got it in less than 2 hours...
What I love the most is the absolutely wonderful music. Kudos to the artist.

Really nice puzzle game. I thought it was going to be a bit boring, but I found myself very intrigued. Aced all but the last without help, kept getting 8 steps instead of 7. Jayisgames has some nice hints and poilers if you're interested, including the 7-step solution for the last level. Very clever level it is, hard to believe such a simple looking one proved to be my undoing! 5/5

A walkthrough is available by searching "Coins perfect walkthrough" at youtube. If you get stuck on some level desperately, you might want to have a look at a particular part.

Well, beating the game then coming back to earlier levels helped getting Aces, and pretty much trying different strategies, remember, if you make the same moves, you get the same results. ;P
