Thoughts very much appreciated!


Movement is a bit tricky. Press a point on the screen you want to walk to. Puzzles very intuitive though. Only just started - done around 20 puzzles - enjoying so far.


Thanks. Sounds promising!

It's one of the best games I've ever played. strawberry float knows how they did it but the puzzles are only the start of it :wub:

Already starting to get a bit stuck! Will just have to keep at it. Very difficult game to put down once you've started playing it.

Don't ever ever ever look up so much as a hint for any of them. The satisfaction from cracking a really tough puzzle is amazing.

Ok! I've only got a small brain though!

Randomly gone back to this to try and figure out the very last couple of puzzles.

One that had us stumped for her is now solved, so we're about to (I think) finally complete the last remaining black column. Hopefully something cool will happen when we do.

Oh and it looks absolutely beautiful in HDR.

That's amazing tenacity Ad7. I'm afraid I got stuck and then was ill for a coupe of weeks and haven't gone back to it since. I really need to start it again at some point - and pay more attention!

I'm being extremely stubborn with my belief that this will hit PS+ one day.

I solved the puzzle, only for it to open up another puzzle :fp:

Reading this thread has reminded me to have a go at returning to the game. I was enjoying it but, man, it did make my head hurt! The buzz you feel when you make progress is tremendous, though. Hmmn... I might load it up later.

Edit: What format are you playing on, still?

So, I have started this again. This time I’m paying attention and taking notes when I learn something. 8-)

Oh and Jawa, to answer your question a ‘little’ belatedly, I’m playing on i-pad.

Just been so stuck on this it’s untrue. Stuck in an area where unless I solved one of two puzzles I was marooned. That moment when you finally get an epiphany! I’ve been stuck since Sunday, thought it was impossible but no! Great game.

Did anybody manage to do the final puzzle challenge?

I got very close once (got right to the two rotating column puzzles in the last room but ran out of time). Thing is, I've forgotten the rules of most of the puzzles now so I don't think I'd stand a chance.

Went back to this the other evening - I may have to re-learn the rules, but I'm going to beat that final challenge puzzle if it kills me :capnscotty:

Good luck.

I want to do the final challenge but I forgot all rules. :fp: :dread:

Fuuuuuuuuuu I got all the way to the very last panel earlier, and had plenty of time as the second song had only just started, but I just couldn't get it :x So frustrating to be in touching distance of doing it with that thing ramping the tension up, then it all just turning off.

Next hundred times :capnscotty:

I'm finding the hardest part to be getting a decent run through The maze and the final rotating column with the black dots and multiple lines at once.

I can't wait until Ad7 opens the final box and finds out that it is just Peter Molyneux tapping at a cube while laughing at him :lol:
