Witness got marked down to 23 bucks, that might be enough for me to check it out. Or I'll hold out for 15 because I'm busy with TWEWY atm anyway

I was about to come post this, i think it's the first time it's been on sale since it came out. It's a very long and good game and that's a good deal for it. Don't sleep on that if you like puzzle games

Hexcells is excellent and you can get it on an iPad, so your dad can play it on the couch while he watches Danish crime dramas.

Any phone puzzle game recommendations?

Auro is a cool strategy/puzzle game with some neat mechanics from David Sirlin, the fighting game guy who made the Yomi card game and other stuff. Levels are randomly generated and it has a very well-done difficulty scaler where (even though it's entirely single player) you move up and down ranks when you play and the difficulty scales with your rank to keep things consistently challenging. Road Not Taken is another one of my favorites, really difficult with some roguelike elements . Snakebird is excellent but I think someone else pointed out that it's got a really janky difficulty curve which is probably a fair assessment, the first few puzzles are simple and then the game jumps straight to "really loving hard". oh and I've been playing Human Resource Machine lately which is a programming puzzle game from the guys who did World of Goo and it's on sale for $1 down from $5 right now. Maybe that games easy if you know anything about programming logic but I don't and I've found it really fun and challenging. I think every game i mentioned is also on PC but they're all really solid ports and play great on a touchscreen

Oh poo poo I forgot about like every game by Michael Brough. Imbroglio and 868-HACK are both incredibly fuckin good. They're each worth grabbing but I'd probably play 868-HACK first -- it's a high score chaser with some loose roguelike elements and some really tense risk/reward mechanics

Goferchan you absolute fucker. I played Year Walk bc of your recommendation and it was the worst game i played in the last 3 years.

I also played some more text adventures and those are good.

i also bought it for 20 dollars and its my favorite puzzle game i ever played. the puzzle im stuck on is absolutely ridiculous. its a combination of a bunch of puzzles that took me 2 hours to figure out but all the rules at the same time and the grid is like 12x12

post a pic im curious if i can still remember how to solve anything. don't worry i won't spoil ya tho

Ooh i love the castle zone. The final puzzles are really cool (and iirc you only have to complete one of the two sets to clear the area but you should do both cuz they're great. They present a nice left brain/right brain sort of split)

some small spoilers re: the village -- its absolutely meant to be the last area you do . some other zones are gated by some basic poo poo from other ones but the village puzzles incorporate rules that you learn in all other 10 areas .... feel free to push as far as you can if you haven't finished the rest yet but don't feel dumb if it stumps you at some point

I haven't done that in a long time and made a pact to never look anything up for the rest of the game.. Please don't be mean to me

you don't have to finish all the areas to beat the game and coming back to something later when you're stuck on it usually helps a lot. at least try that if you hit a wall and go check out a different zone

for real gently caress the swamp though. i dont like the tetris puzzles very much, they take me significantly longer to solve than any of the other ones

You already figured it out in the treehouse but my favorite trick is the moving platform in the swamp that people ride on and think they can't ride back on when really you just have to reverse the solution

there's a 2nd, weirder ending you haven't seen yet. activate ALL of the lasers and then find the new area that opens up. at the very end of that area there's a clue, which will lead you to the secret ending somewhere on the island.

yeah definitely reach that one because it mirrored my RL experience after playing. there's an easier/faster way to find it tho if you start a new save file and pay close attention at the beginning and apply what you know now

nice. did you do the In The Hall Of The Mountain King area? if so then you beat as much as the game as i did, going for 100% seems loving crazy . also did you find the in-game map/progress tracker? it's the pond near the town, stuff appears in it as you discover things in-game correlating with their positions on the island

im really afraid that i will have to use a guide to finish up all the environmental puzzles. i can see some of them but i just cant figure them out. sometimes when i see patterns i wonder if its part of a puzzle or if it's just this game loving with me, im going crazy

There are a LOT of them. Wait til you start seeing them everywhere irl lol

edit: if you want to keep track of what you've done and where you've done it there's a progress tracker in the game and like everything else it's both a secret & right under your nose. there's a pond near the town and it's also a map of the island, lights will appear on it and flowers will sprout up as you accomplish stuff

Did u find the puzzle associated with it? there's a line you can draw inside the video but the start of the line is only visible at the beginning of the clip and the end of it is only visible in the last few seconds so u have to watch the entire thing

Been playing Beglitched and it's really fun... it's kinda hard to explain but basically the main mechanic is a mix of minesweeper and a match 3 game. you do battle with enemies who are invisible and hiding on your grid and you have to suss out their location using tiles that give you their relative distance & direction and then match bomb tiles to blow them up. Outside of combat you move around a map that's sort of like minesweeper and find items and talk to NPCs and buy stuff and avoid traps. Really interesting mash-up of mechanics and the difficulty ramps up very quickly and more and more twists on the gameplay keep piling up. It's on Steam and iOS

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

Yah that's why i downloaded it, hadn't played SSR but it's like $30 and thought i'd try this first for a buck. It's a perfect phone game too.... i've been stuck on one puzzle for hours but the actual act of solving them never takes more than 1 or 2 minutes
