This is a really great game!
The graphics are amazing for a 2D game - there is a neat ruffle effect you get as the hedgehogs move around.
Menus are pretty, and easy to use. There are three sets of controls to choose from, Tilting, Swiping and buttons. You can even move the buttons around to a new location on the screen if they're in the way, which is a nice touch.
You have to navigate one ore more hedgehogs through the mazes to the apples. Trick is they all move together, and have to be standing at the apples at the same time to complete the level. Sometimes there are boxes in the levels that move around and have to be avoided or used as help. Holes in the ground allow the hedgehogs to dig under hedge walls to the next available space.
Passing a level unlocks the next three, so you can skip around a bit if you like.
I'd highly recommend scouring though the codes for this one to see if there are any left, and if you like puzzle games at all, snag this one, it's well worth it.

This game is totally enthralling. How could it not with hedgehogs and grass paths? Seriously though, using the swipe method of control (my choice of the three options) I find it to be spot on, hedgehogs start and stop where you want them, perfect. The first few levels, just like most games, are easier because of their tutorial value. Once most of the actions are explained - by level 8 or so - the "real" puzzles begin. They are quite the challenge too.
As the levels progress, more hedgehogs appear and they move in unison, as do rocks and blocks which can be used as your friends. A few levels more and burrow holes appear and transport your hedgehog from area to area. Careful planning is required as the might transport you to a trapped area.
Don't worry if you get stuck on a level, there is a neat feature you can just move ahead a level (or two) but this is still limited. As long as you keep solving the puzzles you can progress so its not like you can jump from 1 to 43 in one fell swoop. But, like most puzzlers, solving a few other levels and then returning to the one you are stuck on gives you a fresh look and it becomes solvable.
Each time the hedgehog moves is counted and your score for the levels are the moves your hedgehogs made. Either I stink, or there are no awards for getting the puzzle solved in the fewest moves possible. One feature to increase replay value would be to rank the scores so you can go back and try to solve the puzzle more efficiently thus earning you a greater award.
So for the record, I bought this game, no code was used, no hedgehogs were harmed in the writing of this brief impressional review (except on the one level where one hedgehog got trapped and couldn't reach its apple), however, I encourage those that DID get a code to write a review. Far as I could see on this thread from way back people said thanks but no one wrote anything (excluding those that got a code today since they should have some time to play and then write). Then again, those lurkers that didn't even say thank you probably won't even read this thread again. Oh well.

The game is good
I prefer swipe and d-pad. Tilting is too hard, I don't succeed to do just one step
Puzzles are no repetitive (I'm on the 18) and become pretty hard cause of the holes, rocks, or too many hedgehogs on the screen

I can vouch: the controls are most excellent!
Swipe once to move one square, swipe-and-hold to move over several squares continuously.
And that's just for the swipe controls. You also have a virtual D-pad / 4-way arrow controller overlay thingy as well, which, quite cleverly, you can drag to anywhere on the screen that you like.
You also have a 3rd control option should you choose to use it, which is to use the accelerometer.
This method also shows off a subtle but noticeable faux 3D effect as you tilt your device. Gorgeous!
Overall, awesome choice of controls, one of which is bound to please everyone AND each of those controls are very well implemented.
