Impasse is a sleek, lovely time-killer with instructions that could fit into a tweet:

Impasse is a minimalist puzzle game. Discover the rules as you go and make your way to the goal of each level.

Well, okay then! Saying much more would be spoiling the joy of discovery, but we will say that it leverages its fairly small portion of frustration to create a compelling series of puzzles. Abstract, but not austere. Block out an hour and figure shit out.

This is you.
