I broke down every single possibility that the character can move in order to not only pick up the crystals, but reach the portal in a certain amount of movement pieces. This is a powerful thinking technique that helped us solve complex problems. We ended up finding the correct pattern and steps with this thinking. And from that level until level 20 we used this thinking, analyze, possibility, and solve. Since there are no algorithms in this game, we used pattern recognition and how some of the previous steps are related to the ones in front. I believe the biggest benefit of this thinking is how it parallels to real world problem solving. This is not only beneficial to older people wanting a problem game, but it can be an introduction to kids, preparing them for real world problem solving and could possible see benefits in this game for strengthening our minds.
