I need help, imp zone. Just a hint.

I'm supposed to draw a single line to separate all of the colors, right? It's possible, right?

e: Spoiler tagging just in case, it's the Witness.

I stopped playing the witness after like 2 hours because I didn't like it.

That's fair! You saved yourself from this bamboo hell.

Witness: Okay, I gave up and got a walkthrough for the bamboo audio puzzles. I'm tone deaf, that was obnoxious, and just...screw it. There are better puzzles awaiting me. :mad:

One more complaint: the audio clues/solutions repeat either way too frequently or infrequently so for at least one puzzle I was sitting there waiting for it to play again so I could try to guess at a solution, and just. Include a toggle so I can make it play or not! Don't waste my time even more with this bs set of puzzles!

I finished The Witness and Talos Principle. What should I play next?

Stephen's Sausage Roll.

It's still on sale here for ten bucks for another few hours.

(It's destroying my brain, come suffer with me - the puzzles are so clever and I feel like a queen when I finish even one.)

e: I want to add that I have seen the Great Tower and I'm not ready for it. I will never be ready for it.

I just bought English Country Tune (idk how much it is on PC but it's a dollar on phones) and holy poo poo this is a good puzzle game. Starts out as some simple sokoban stuff but keeps revealing layers and layers of rules and reveals itself to be a lot more complicated. Makes me feel like a retard tho lol

It's made by the same guy who made Stephen's Sausage Roll.

Okay, uh, have you been through these? Gateways is freaking hard, and DROD gets real tangly once you're through the first areas. Patterna hits that Hexcell itch - it's not as good but it's close enough.

And not in that category because it's a roguelike first is Desktop Dungeons, which is the perfect fusion of the two genres.

(ps not everything in my puzzler category is good, but I've at least tried everything on it so nothing in there is outright garbage)

I'd say it's good, but that's because I helped test it

The goal of each level is to guide the path of the launchers into the goals, using 'magnets' to bend the path to do so. You start with 90 degree turn magnets, but unlock more as you get to the later levels. The non-tutorial levels start out easy at first (probably around 5 minutes or less per puzzle once the game 'clicks') but starts to get more complicated the further you get, both inside and outside each world. The later stuff starts getting pretty insane (one of the end world puzzles took a collected 7 hours of staring, hair pulling, and messing around before I eventually solved it). There's also a level editor with Workshop integration for quick sharing/downloading.

I was gonna see if I could snag some keys from the dev to pass out before mentioning it in the Steam thread (after I get off work later today), but I can answer any other questions you got.

How much precise timing is involved in solving some of these puzzles? It looked like there was some involved in the trailer.

Floodkiller posted:

There is zero precise timing. You put the magnets down, and can use the launchers separately to test each path (I think there's also a hotkey/shortcut to test all paths at once, but I don't remember off the top of my head because I never used it). If you remove/place a magnet, the launchers all reset.

The trailer just rapid fires the launchers to make it look pretty.

Cool, thanks
