    From the middle panel? edit - ok i figure out how the middle panel works now, maybe i can get there from here

    That was one of the few puzzles I made a diagram for. I saw what it was going for and went "okay time to load up ms paint."

    Played an hour and a half of this and made some progress. Finished the
    Rocky section where you had to use reflections on the water and the desert section where you had to use light

    I'm not sure if I can complete this because it made me completely motion sick. No other game has ever actually done that to me, so I'll give it a second chance in case it's a fluke.

    If you're playing on PC I think Blow said they just released an update to help with motion sickness and are working on further changes.

    Dem complex +1s.


    In this room, where the hell do you have to stand to get the answer to the third panel? I feel like I've tried every angle while raising / lowering the water and I'm getting nothing. Is there something different you have to do?

    Swamp question on "purple" room
    So if you turn the rotating bridge around to connect to the purple platform side after opening the first underground room there is an extra underground room there with two +1s and another tetris puzzle. I solved that puzzle but it did not seem to do anything. Anyone find out what that is for?

    Okay, I'm stumped and while I don't want answers, I'd like confirmation about some observations I made
    Okay, this is in the first challenge room, and it's the color puzzle with part of the paint stripped off, making the colors all become different things.

    Now, as far as I can tell, the column on the left is explains what colors are yellow and the row on the bottom explains what are teal. (And the ones not in either are a third color, maybe?)

    My issue is, using that guide, the puzzle is literally impossible. There's a section where two "yellow" blocks and two "teal" blocks are kitty corner to each other, making it impossible to section them off from each other since, no matter how you draw the lines, you can't cross the center twice, so you can't separate all four quarters from one another.

    So given that, my conclusion is that the "color guide" isn't given me the full story and is either completely false or misleading. Would I be right?

    No. I'm talking about the secret challenge room area. There's a puzzle reminiscent of the bunker colors uses that I'm stuck on.

    Figured it out. I was right in my thought process, though I was overlooking a vital clue.

    Solution was rather devious.

    7th in sequence in the jungle.
    Looking for advice on how to solve this / rationale behind the solution (as opposed to the easily obtainable solution from the internet with zero explanation).
    Otherwise I'm just going to stand here forever thrashing at the puzzle until it yields.

    Thanks.

    What I didn't like about this style of puzzle was that

    It was never obvious where you had to stand relative to the puzzle and the light source to get the extra stuff to show up.

    Maybe I'm just not very good at working out angles of reflection though.

    I'm at 6 lasers now with about 300 puzzles done and I'll probably get the 7th this evening.

    I've seen the number 677 floating around as the final total. Is this confirmed as being correct?

    I forget how far through this is, so I don't know the exact solution, but basically the rationale is that if there is more than one bird singing, then only one of the songs actually "fits" the pattern on the panel. The song has to have the right amount of notes, and the length of the notes has to match etc...

    God dammit I'm stuck near the end of the castle
    I've got a big old board overlooking the four pressure plate puzzles, and I assume the idea is I need a solution that combines all 4 of the previous solutions. Buuuuut that seems impossible, since the start of the puzzles don't line up with the ends of the previous puzzle, and the last one works on symmetry rules. I did what I'm pretty sure is a valid solution to the puzzle as-is and it didn't work so I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track but it's just not clicking

    And on the other hand I can't figure out what the fuck to do with the fourth hedge maze

    Yep. And neither bird here is singing the right tune. And there are no other noises. The ambience isn't the sound. The birdsong reversed or upside-down isn't the sound. I can't hear any sound that matches this damn puzzle.

    You're essentially right, but you can't think about it in terms of one puzzle's ending going right into the next one's beginning, you have to be more flexible than that.

    Where you have to outline two 1x3s AND connect every dot. L shapes lock you out of the top, a -| won't work, a |- leaves two dots at the top, separating them leaves four dots, and they can't both be horizontal!

    I don't really want the answer to it, but UGH

    Yeah, I just started pushing through as much as I could (maybe 70% or until the last of 5 panels) and then looking up hints. I like the puzzles, but also hate them.

    Now I'm working on the timed extra challenge and making good progess.
    I can reliably get to the triangle puzzle maze which are the puzzles 11 and 12, but can't make it through quite yet. Triangle puzzles are the worst.
