6? I counted five. And you can push a block out of a target position if
you want (and I had to do this a number of times, but I solved it on my
first try). The Reset switch doesn't seem to restart the game.. should it?

I only tried it on the emulator (I'm in the process of moving across
campus, so my console isn't set up at the moment), and the flicker is
annoying, but the game is perfectly playable.
As for whether to continue with it, well, that's up to you. I'd rather see
an action game, but if you want to continue with this, go ahead.. just
don't expect me to zone out on it :)
