I think it was mid-late 90s when I played this weird puzzler on a friend's Mac. Essentially, there was a hazard-filled arena and you controlled the rotation of a small white/silver bar to navigate to an endpoint. The bar would constantly rotate on a point and you could attach an end of the bar to a new point to travel through the arena.
That's all I remember about it. Any wild guesses?

Hmm can't say I played anything like that on a mac but it reminds me of a clock-themed puzzler I played on PC around that time. I remember it being clock themed at any rate, it might not be, but the idea is that you control the hand of a clock as it rotates around a point and you can swap to any point that the pointy end touches. All the levels tended to form a grid of points as I recall.
Don't remember the name unfortunately, so this reply is almost entirely useless. Sorry!

The more related avenues of discussion we have, the better. :)
It might not have been a Mac, to be honest. I was 9 or 10 at the time, and I had an understanding of the difference between the systems...but I seem to remember playing it on a Mac.

Pretty sure JuJuCam & squareking are talking about the same game.

I recall they had it on my primary schools computers back in the 5th-6th grade.
