It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
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

edit: have you played Sausage Roll? i'm pretty intrigued . lol Jonathan Blow said it was the best puzzle game of last year, counting The Witness

Sausage Roll is great but I got to a point where I had to stop, it was too much.

ECT kept my interest longer, I think just because moving that flipper feels good.

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)

Just wanted to bring this game to the attention of the thread. Archaica is a light beam reflecting and bending type of game like Chromatron(if anyone still even remembers this) and it's incredibly pretty and well polished. Can't comment on the fairness and difficulty of the puzzles since I'm only about 10 levels in, but they seemed to ramp up from simple to devious really quick. I've been really enjoying it so far though.

id be willing to try it but man, 13 bucks


BTW if you have brain aids like me and like shapes and gay poo poo like geometry, absolutely give this game a try

http://www.euclidea.xyz/

its completely free on pc, and on phone you can unlock all stages for like 1,15$, otherwise to progress you have to get every star in a level pack which is goddamn ridiculous but possible.
It's super loving difficult, because you can't just guesstimate positions, no matter how close, you have to like prove them with shapes and mathematical principles and its really really cool but also really really hard.

Thanks for nerd trapping me....this is tough. I hope the last level is trisecting the angle. The "E" stars specifically are super hard and I'm pretty sure we never touched minimal-move constructions in high school.

TBH I would have bought your game even if it looked like crap for all the work you did on crawl so it's extra-cool that it also looks really fun to me, a big nerd. Is there a place that isn't steam that gets you a bigger cut or something?

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

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.

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.
