Interesting puzzle game here: http://www.gameroo.nl/games/light-bot

The latter levels get very tough.

/edit: just completed it, level 10 is the hardest imo

Yes, yes it certainly is! As a computer science student, I find the game great fun, but I had to give up! Though there is definitely a spike in difficulty at 10, 9 is very very easy.

Finally got level 10, level 11 and 12 are simple compared to 10.

Hint for level 10
Use one function to call the other function a few times and try going for the left blue square first instead of the right one

There are solutions on youtube as well, the one for 10 is quite good.

Thanks Sean!
Just got it in 190 moves. Anyone get any good scores? Mine tended to have lots of unnecessary bashing against walls
