Sunken temple must have taken me over an hour to work out. The strange one with that is that I pretty much knew what I needed to do for the longest time but putting all the words in the right places was the difficult bit.

That's now how spoilers work.
Also, there is no bent rule. The only things that stop overlap (at that point) are things that are stop, and things that are push. Text is, as a hidden default rule, already 'push', and walls are stop per the present rule. There are no other relevant rules in that level. You can push text through the wall once it's no longer stop, can't you? :)
... how? Doesn't that defeat the central point? I've caved for one level, but the thought of losing that satisfaction when I finally crack a level just seems weird to me.
It's less frustrating and I can just enjoy the logic behind the puzzles without having to do the hard work
Er fair enough, they'll be plenty of YouTube playthroughs though, could have saved £11...
It's a toughie to figure out, and even when you know what to do the execution is slightly tricky.
"Transporter buffer"
I can't figure out a hint that is subtle without giving away the setup.
Person plays videogame the way they want to, to get the most enjoyment out of, you know...entertainment. Other people get MAD. How dare you, they say!
Oh leave off. You know what we were getting at. I'm not mad in the slightest, just incredulous. To say a game solely based around logic IS better with a guide is a little puzzling really.
Yep, a variation of that move is used again... And it stumped me for a while again.
Ok i've been working at garden-7 'blockade' for a good while now and I think i'm stumped.... I have a pretty good idea of how i think you cross the water but the actual block manipulation to set it up seems impossible so I'm guessing I'm way off:
If anyone's got any pointers or can just tell me I'm on the wrong track.....
I'm imagining if you can get for example "pillar on" on top of "water is sink" the conditional will make it so water generally is not sink, but the only way to push a block to a spot two spaces above 'water' is to clear the left and center water tiles of the bottom row of water but there's no way I can find to clear the lower left one.....
Shit, i still haven't figured out prison yet and I have no idea what move you guys must be talking about :(
Just finished that one. You're on the right track.
Once you've pushed something through to the culvert with the water, you can only push it up along the center of the room, so whatever it is will end up in a vertical stack.
A stack of what could have a useful effect once you're in that room?

You can push things through something, if it isn't push or stop.
Ahhh got it, thank you very much. I was hesitant to bring text blocks to that side even though I knew it was possible, I guess I figured that part should be as uncluttered as possible if anything. I also assumed the solution would involve some complex combination involving the 'on' block with the rock and pillar. That was a good one.
Can you tell me what other level teaches you that? I still haven't beaten prison and I could use that level as a hint
Yes, you can reach the credits by beating the stage a specific way. I was just trying to say that you'll use a different command than every other level to get the credits and the command on that level is unique.
I couldn't tell you if there's specific later levels that also give you the option to beat in a way to get the credits. I'm kind of guessing that's not the case but there's hidden achievements so maybe?

God, this game is so cool. I'm constantly dazzled by it's tricky introductions to new concepts.
I honestly tried to look. I'm not sure the particular skill is required for any other level, it's just that I noticed a subtle aspect of how the game works previously in other levels. It's for sure something you have noticed as well, but might not have thought of as a mechanic you can use. It's honestly hard to say without spoiling. I can hint you more overtly which may help a bit but I'd need your permission.
And bought. <3 itch. And now time to hide this thread so all puzzles are self solved and unspoiled.
Ah Isee. No it's ok, I'll try to find a solution for a while longer, thanks!
Fanfuckingtastic puzzle game. Was checking if we already had a thread on it, thanks More_Badass for creating it.
Hmm, still not sure what to do. Would be good to rule something in or out:
should I have two teleporting objects or three?
Two. You need the third for the other thing.
edit:
I mean, technically you can probably have three. But it's an extra step to set up and an extra many more steps along the way.

There's a certain point in what I assume is the endgame that has to be one of my favorite moments in gaming so far.
Level is Baba
Another thing is that the gameplay doesn't rely on graphics or cpu power. It would be theoretically possible to create a similar game 30 years ago. Quite impressive!
I'm too dumb for this. I've hit my first roadblock and it's a mayor one - I've been staring at Pillar Yard for more than an hour now and I simply do not understand what the game wants me to do or achieve - I feel like there is some rule I don't know about but the game doesn't tell me.
So far I genuinely love everything about this game - I'm just not having a lot of fun.

I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure out
-Fall: Ghost Guard
-Fall: Broken Playground
-Ruins: But where's the key
Fall: Catch made me feel very clever when I figured it out.

Not Baba Is Not You. Whoooaa.
Lol the very first level of the volcanic cavern has been destroying me now... I can get the key just one tile from where it needs to be but no further...... I know I'm missing something small or maybe obvious. I don't really love the 'swap' mechanic but I've worked with it so much just on this one level i feel like I've got a decent grasp of it lol.
Really loving this game in general, it looked promising from the beginning but the puzzles themselves are even better than I had expected.

Pillar Yard is probably the only puzzle that felt kinda cheap to me after about 30 puzzles in. Reason being
all the text that's touching the walls is a basically a red herring and isn't used in the solution. Or at least the solution the game presumably wants you to take.
Luckily you're just about to hit the point where the game opens up and you can start choosing from larger range of puzzles, so if you hit a roadblock or get stuck you can just do a different one.
Thanks! Got this just after I posted my frustrated post -
I can lose a pillar
I think my original point still stands though. I was just way better and had way more fun with something like The Witness and that had no doubt to do with the amazing world. I will definitely continue since this game is amazing and I love everything about it on paper - it's just that it asks a method of thinking that I apparently need to adjust to slowly.
My spoiler for this one is "transporter buffer". Can't say much more without giving it away.
Hoo boy. Heck of a level. Don't even know how to hint. You're going to need to start actually making rules out of things, and then actually being rules.
You need to exercise your rule-combo making. You'll want to be both what you are and what you're going to be.
Just beat the first flower gated level.
Interesting, makes me wonder if there's gonna be some crazy stuff to 100% this game. Especially because doing everything in ESA was like going down an insane, FEZ-like, post-game rabbit hole.
I'm absolutely loving this so far.
Made "flag is end" and got an ending complete with achievement and credit sequence.
I'm absolutely loving this so far.

Solved it! :D
I actually had thought of the solution before but I was not sure how to do it or if it would work. Well, it did!
What a clever game this is.
