Nice! I enjoyed the little puzzles and trying to figure out what each of them wanted. I think the sound effects are a little jarring and excessive, especially given the lack of music in the rest of the game, but other than that this was a fun little box!
i think i had the right solution for the last one (is it just connecting the colours?) couldnt finish it :( super cool game
rotation is kinda weird, when the plane obstructs the view. Maybe the plane should be transparent?
A good little puzzle box, got stuck on one but I have a feeling I'll be back for more.
Nice brain teaser, though I think the wire part had one more solution which wasn't considered valid. Ended up spamming the last (wire) task and got jump-scared by the sound effect of the fully solved box :laughing: Nice little puzzle game!
Neat idea and good work, the ruddy ball puzzle took me ages (twice i managed to turn them all off!!!).. again good work, and neat game
Ah I liked this good job! would like more control over the cube though this scene at the end is nice - I would point a screen shot for spoilers
I only managed to solve the lines puzzle and it was luck... I'm terrible at this type of game hahaha
I liked the different mechanics, sounds and creativity
Well made! It feels very rewarding when you solve a puzzle :)
Really like the puzzles really difficult :0
That number code took me a while to solve. Pretty clever solution for it though!
Great little puzzle game! I solved the numbers and ball pattern fairly quickly, but the notes and lines took me a while :) Challenging difficulty, and I really like how the plant-growing elements appeared after you solved each part. Fun to play through, and rewarding to reach the end. Nice work on this one. I'd actually love to see a full version of this, like a mix of The Room and Cloud Gardens!
The puzzles on the box really spiked up in difficulty. From inserting the code to playing the sounds in a specific order. I wished it would tell me what the order should be. The graphics were very simple and not a lot of harvest was seen, besides the ground, water, grass, and sun you win from doing the puzzles.
Overall: An okay little puzzle box.
I had a lot of fun solving each puzzle, specially the musical one since it hit very close to home. SPOILERS: I thought it was really smart how you had to find out the order through the lowest pitched notes to the higher ones.
The other puzzles were also nice. I think the only thing that could make the experience better would be for the game to not be as silent? Maybe a little theme playing in the background, even if it's like a simple melody. Even so, when I finished the game I got kind of jumpscared because I was concentrating a lot and didn't expect to beat it haha.
Overall fun game, it's a nice little exercise for the brain!
Nice puzzles, had fun solving them.
Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. This has been a really good experience.
@pixelcrustpunk and @boostas I did some research and found another solution to the path puzzle, so I published an update to allow that option.
@tero-pulkkinen Yeah the camera could be a bit more friendly and not go through the floor. Unfortunately I didn't have time to build a solution this time.
@breaddysticks The puzzles can be harder for some people than others, so I don't think that one is necessarily harder than another. What might help is optional hints specific to each puzzle to help it click.
Nice puzzles overall, couldn't understand the sound one and just gave up, the others were pretty fun to solve
A fun and pretty well made little puzzle game. Well done.
Really cool puzzles! It was satisfying to see all the garden elements pop up on top of the box after each was solved. I really liked the length of the game as well, it was the perfect bite-sized experience. It would have been nice to have another indicator for the audio puzzle for those who can't hear the audio or happen to have it muted when they begin playing -- maybe like a note popping up to indicate that sound is a factor in the solution.
