Thanks for the explanation(s), maybe my misunderstanding the mechanics of AND is why I've been having trouble with some puzzles.. and yeah I saw the actual solution and was like...wait why does that work? Now I know.

I think I might have encountered a glitch? Either way, I need help with the Depths So I'm pretty sure I beat all the levels and touched the flag, which got me back to ??? and Orb, but I keep hearing about path to Meta level, and I really have no idea how to get it. Looking at guides, there seems to be a fifth extra level in Depths? I found one stream where the person completed Buried Treasure, and a dotted line appeared towards the flag, which got him to the next level. For some reason that doesn't happen for me, and I wonder if I'm missing something. Is it only after completing all previous zones/levels, or something? I haven't 100% a lot, but didn't even reach the goal on ABC because holy poo poo I can't think that way. Oh, also I never completed that Finale level, which might be a thing for that? I'd go to other places, but since I'm afraid it's a glitch, I'd rather hear confirmation now, since I don't want to bash my head against everything only to get nowhere

Anyway this thread is looking like a cursed CIA document (though i recognize some of the more-mind-bendy level names) so i'll probably avoid lurking it until i've actually worked my way through most of it.

RoadCrewWorker posted:I just got this game (after seeing SGF play it) and it's loving phenomenal but yeah, taking a break once you've had a good run and are stuck staring at a wall is a genuine pro-tip. Figuring out Prison after coming back from a break made me feel pretty drat great. I'm sure things will only get more complex from here-on out. The only problem I'm having is that as I get further into the game, sessions where I have a good run are getting increasingly rare. The last three times I've booted up the game I've failed to solve any of the ~10 or so puzzles available to me, and quit. It's a little frustrating.

What on earth is this Mean Fence level... Nobody has asked for help here or in the Steam hints thread, which makes me think there must be something really obvious I'm missing, but the only action I can take other than moving (which empties me) is pushing the WIN block, which also ends up emptying me... unless I push it to the sides, but as far as I can tell that won't do anything.

It's not really that obvious, but there is something you can do if you think about what exactly makes Baba disappear Bigger hint that might as well be a solution: you can use little outcrop for a sharp U-turn. Since you don't FACE the wall, but instead enter it while looking forward, to a tile where there's no wall, it doesn't empty you

I got to the stage that's also a level. Am I just not Sokobanning well enough to get the key out? I can't figure a way to get the skull past the top-left baba while baba is push. Also the level in the rock is killing me.

Please put even the smallest most obscure hints and descriptions of your steps in spoiler tags. This is crucial. People playing the game want to talk about it and ask for advice without risking seeing even the slightest hint of a level they haven't gotten to yet. Being surprised is a big part of playing this game and if somebody wants to see the small hint they'll hover over the tag. I edited the posts above with that in mind.

Oh dear. New patch, Insulation changed. The only two solutions I knew of no longer work. edit: looked it up and one of the old solutions still kindof works. Man I hate this a lot though. It makes no sense for you to be able to swap onto a STOP object. Alternatively, swapping said object onto you makes more sense and thankfully that solution is still possible to an extent, and doesn't require a double swap, but instead involves a somewhat unintuitive use of command priority. I just hate SWAP in general though. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Mar 30, 2019 |

Arist posted:Welp, I just accidentally made the statement NOT BABA IS YOU Just wait until you have to wrap your brain around EMPTY is PUSH. Things I've turned into levels in Depths: ROCK (still no lightbulbs on this one). Both BABA. Things I've made from levels: SKULL. ME. The word LEVEL. I haven't done anything with that extra IS in the corner with the 1-dot level. I feel like it wants to help me make FLAG is LEVEL, but I can't see a way to get LEVEL into position. I've beaten all the levels I've found on the screen save the rock one, and I don't see any more stuff to be made.

I know the game concept and puzzles get a boatload of very justified praise, but can i just throw in another post of appreciation for how much i like the music? It reminds me of my favorite minimalist/lofi stuff like Downwell's razer girl or UT's Mysterious Place/Quiet Water , and i've been listening to it a ton beyond my 6+ hours of playtime. Also throwing in my vote to keep earlier versions of puzzles as a "Lost Levels" kind of (hidden?) chapter or something, maybe even with a developer comment/note on why they got changed or removed, i'm an absolute sucker for semi-behind-the-scenes stuff like that.

I bought this on a whim in advance of a flight tomorrow, and I'm loving it. I haven't played a puzzle game in long while. Is this all-ages appropriate? I'm considering introducing it to the school I work at (the kids would be exceptional at this), but I thought I saw a screenshot in the thread that had some text that went rear end is EAT.

For what it's worth, "Defeat" used to be "Kill" but I changed it because while the latter implied the functionality better, I wanted to make the game less violent.McFrugal posted:Oh dear. New patch, Insulation changed. The only two solutions I knew of no longer work. I can't seem to be able to make the level work as intended, so at this point I'm kinda contemplating just changing it altogether.

Huh, that's the solution I eventually ended up with after hours of banging my head against the wall (both in-game and IRL), it's hard to believe after all that that there were even more possible solutions I missed. And this is on the Switch version, so no patches yet.

This might be obvious and spelled out, but I can't figure out the rules with sink (may apply to other properties, though) which is making it hard to puzzle through;[incredibly early spoilers just in case]if something is sink, does it cause that object to sink in water? Or does it cause it to sink other objects? Example is Icy Lake-1. Baba is sink causes me to fall in the water, but then Jelly is also sink, which causes it to sink the word WALL when I push it into a jellyfish, so I'm not sure what sink means: does it mean the object will sink in water, or that it will sink other objects?I think it means both since I can walk on water once I remove sink from myself, but it's not made clear, so I can't tell if I made a rock sink later whether it would sink something or if it would sink in water....
