GAMEPLAY
The puzzling logic game of Piston can be a little tricky once you get to higher levels but with a few tips, tricks and simply how to play the game, you can beat Piston levels with ease (Most of the time).
Edit-Mode & PlaY-Mode
When you enter a level in Piston you will be greeted with Edit-Mode this is simply where you place the Pistons before you enter Play-Mode which is where you test the level to see if the way you placed the Pistons works, if it works, you beat the level, if not you will need to restart the level and try again!
(The mode you are currently in is in the top right corner of every level!)

Piston Select Menu (Left)
On the left of the screen in Edit-Mode there are four buttons, each with different types of Pistons, this is the Piston Select Menu, obviously this is where you would select your Pistons to use in the level. Next to the name of each Piston there is a number, this number states how much you have left of that certain type of Piston!
