Hi everyone, I've made this simple yet fun game about 3 days ago when I couldn't sleep. I later added the option to increase the size of the "cube" making it more difficult to solve. Hope you like it.

30 minutes later I understand that I got unsolvable combination :-)

I was about to ask you this, haha. How long took you to notice?

I read a guide on how to solve 8-puzzle, and even with the guide I couldn't solve it. So I went to the math of it, and read an article[1] that gives a proof if a board is solvable or not.

Dumb me! The way I was creating the board I would make it unsolvable with a even board (4x4). The 3x3 and 5x5 were fine.

The bug is fixed. Sorry about that. I'm laughing so hard because even I couldn't solve any 4x4 games.

I see myself playing this quite a bit whenever I have a few minutes to kill.

Thanks for sharing—very well done.
