Kettle

## Description

The basic goal of each level in the game is to arrange scattered points on a
grid into a smaller, more compactly arranged square and move the entire square
of points into a goal zone. The points are shuffled and nudged by pressing
against them with the edges of a surrounding rectangle of varying size,
controlled by the player’s keyboard.

Following student protests in London, this game was released making what would
otherwise be an abstract puzzle-game hit home with political baggage. The way
the game is skinned has the player-controlled rectangle being a cordon of riot
police, and the points they are rounding up are student protesters. Between
each level a leering policeman cruelly taunts the protesters.
