One thing about puzzle design is that you have to maintain a consistent style and quality in order to build players' trust. That trust is important, because it affects how they view the entire game. So this gets a lot of your attention. But then sometimes you intentionally break it just for fun

How long did you wait between applications? Were they for the same game?

Congrats! Thanks for sharing ❤️🐧

Wait, artists have money!?

❤️🐧 Thank you!

Just the thought of individually art'ing each level terrifies me.

Okay, so I applied to get a Switch dev kit for Gentoo Rescue and whatever else in the future. *fingers crossed*

Let me tell you about a huge open-world sokobanish puzzler from an award winning designer. It focuses on the combinatorial explosion of combining many simple mechanics, but it also goes deep with secrets and an open world of nested levels. It's 26% off on Steam for another day!

I'm in this post and I'm okay with it

Meanwhile mathematicians are like "sure, I guess it is possible to duplicate a ball by just cutting it into pieces".

Shout out to Chomp Garden! This game wasn't on my radar at all, but I had a delightful time with it on stream the other day. Short and sweet sokoban-style game. 100% with all achievements in ~2.5 hours
