## Transcript

### 1. Marble Meadow

On a tiny floating island, a glowing marble wants to roll home to its flower lantern\. Wooden tiles with little rails make its track\. Watch it roll when every piece lines up\.

Drag the sky or grass to turn the island and look around\.

### 2. Level 1 · Turn the Tiles

Tap a honey\-coloured tile to turn it a quarter turn\. When a tile joins the track, its stripe lights up\. Light a path from the marble to the lantern, then roll\.

Turning is free: you can always turn a tile back\.

### 3. Level 2 · Slide into Place

Teal tiles cannot turn, but they can slide\. Drag one into the empty slot next to it, or just tap it\. Three slides will open the way\.

Like a sliding puzzle, the empty slot moves each time a tile moves\.

### 4. Level 3 · Turn and Slide

Now both kinds of tile work together\. Slide the teal pieces to build the middle of the track, and turn the honey pieces to join its ends\.

Watch the glowing stripes: they show how far the track already reaches\.

### 5. Level 4 · The Long Way Round

The track winds around the whole board\. The empty slot is far from where you need it, so plan the order of your slides before you turn\.

Hint: start by moving the teal curve at the front up into the slot\.

### 6. Every Lantern Lit

Here is the long track solved, with the marble rolling all the way home\. Each level taught one new move, and puzzles grow clever by mixing simple moves\.

Go back to any level with the dots below and play again\.
