What are the differences between the difficulties? 
Are all of the puzzles the same? Do you just get more continues on lower difficulties and "Rewind" on Easy? 
 
I've been having troubles starting this game because I'm afraid I'll choose a mode that's too easy or too hard. 
I'm pretty into puzzle games and I do alright when I play them. Which mode is for me that won't take away from the story?

You can change the difficulty at any time and the puzzle layout changes inbetween the difficulties.

Normal has rewind too, I don't know why all the reviews made it seem like it was exclusive to Easy.

Also they kept saying you could rewind one move back but you can rewind multiple moves at once.

@LordXavierBritish: In game it says "In Easy Mode..." and when I tried rewinding in Normal it showed a Rewind icon crossed out.

@benjaebe: I don't know what to tell you because when I did it in normal, it wouldn't let me. And it won't let me change my difficulty either =/

Correction: You can change the difficulty in the stray sheep and inbetween the floors of a level. Check the options screen. And the reason it didn't let you rewind was probably because you didn't push a block before you pressed it. Because, Benjaebe is totally right about that one.

You can definitely change difficulty in the bar, but maybe since I started on normal, I cannot change the difficulty on the landings in between levels. The option is there, but it is greyed out and I cannot select it. So I don't know. Not a big deal though, I kinda want to try and struggle my way through this game, as it is already getting pretty tricky but it feels pretty good when you get through a stage.

Quick question...Firstly I suck at these puzzles, dont laugh! Well im raging at one in particular now, But im already playing on easy, but does the very easy mode from the main menu translate into saved games or just if you go into a new game?

Thank goodness for that! Ive already ragequit out for now!, but ill be back into very easy then if it works! Cheers!

And very easy is, basically highlight the first mode on the main menu and hold select until you hear a noise, then you get little perks in the levels that let you jump higher and stuffs.

@SixtyXCelph: It does say about the mode in the manual and what to do to activate it....It just forgets to tell you where you need to be to activate it!

the biggest difference between medium and easy I found is that on easy they make some blocks immovable to lead you towards the proper path easier whereas on Medium or Hard you have to piece it together on your own.

Very Easy modes spawns Super Energy Drinks every few steps or so. These let you instantly climb 3 blocks at a time and lasts about 15 seconds. You can clear practically every stage in the game in about 30 seconds.

Just started another play after getting all golds on Normal, working on Hard now. Hard mode changes the layouts of the blocks two. There are a lot more immovable blocks and there is a lot more strategic movements to deal with. I actually am really enjoying it on hard but I can understand why a ton of people would get pissed off and irritated with it. Lots of restarting and head scratching (especially if going for gold runs).
