Blow said they currently have no plans to release it on XB1 but they went ahead and rated it just in case, so they don't have to deal with it later. I really hope it comes to XB1 (and eventually NX, perhaps?) because everyone needs to have access to this game.

A little help, please? I get the principle behind the solution, but it doesn't seem to work with this one.

This game is great. Activated the S

I was afraid that it would be finicky in a similar way as D
R
, but it wasn't nearly as bad. Pretty fun in the end. I got stuck on the last puzzle for a while, before I figured out that
Other than that, it was smooth sailing.
Then I found a
and figured out a new symbol (the one the game teaches you in the area in between the D
R
and S
T
. That was really fun to figure out. I managed to solve quite a few panels with a slight misunderstanding of how it worked, so that was a rude awakening, when the method I thought I should be using didn't work anymore. Going back and questioning my old assumption to finally figure out the true rule was a lot of fun. Couldn't complete the area though, as I later ran into other symbols that I need to learn somewhere else.

Solved the colored one in the cave. This mirrored tetrimon panel in the cave is the only panel left of the ones I found and I'm starting to think it's just impossible. Stuck on this one for like 3 hours already.
There are still 7 panels I have not found yet.

Did you already do the jungle?
Try a different perspective on the panel
No I don't believe so I have done
Marsh,the keep, shady trees, desert, symmetry and the monastery

You mean the elevator?
If so:
Look at the color of the room above the one you're in. Now look at the colors of the three cubes in the top right corner of the puzzle. What do you think would happen to those if you were on the floor above you?
Here's another hint:
Go down to the "purple" floor and see what happens to the blue cubes when you go up one more floor
If this isn't the puzzle you're on, my apologies.

some puzzles from the
area are driving me nuts. There's either some rules I didn't get yet, or I'm just being an idiot. Can someone help with this one, for example?

edit holy fuck those next ones. fuck that
treehouse

If your referring to the color hut , you already know how to do this!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, yet another puzzle is driving me insane, it should be easy but I can't find the answer.
Late-game spoilers:
Any hints?
EDIT: Nevermind, solved it...!
Late-game spoilers:
It's inside the first big chamber in the mountain, inside the pile of rubble in the middle of the room. You have two four-square tetris block which you have to draw up, all th while separating white/black squares.
Any hints?
EDIT: Nevermind, solved it...!
I am in awe at some of the + puzzles I'm finding.
Specifically on the boat near the starting area.
There are FIVE on the side of the Castle alone. It's insane. Two along the edges of the walls, two the same but in the reflection of the water and one in some moss. So so so so so clever. Just when I think I've seen it all in this game...
Can someone help me with areas. I have trophies for 9 of then, just completed the bullshit perspective Desert Ruin area. Least favorite by far.

Do you have to do EVERY puzzle in the mountain caves to get "the challenge"?

I just started playing the game and I...
already finished it? 30 minutes, I was exploring the garden right at the start and I noticed that the sun and the gate aligned, and then I went to a place outside the island with audio logs about the developers, and then a really strange video played of someone waking up in the real world. Uh what??
Did I just ruin the game for myself?
One thing I havent figured out yet is what those
I've done a bunch of them already

And Im in

I wouldn't say you ruined it... You've still got the entire game to play and nothing is spoiled.
I guess that area is the equivalent of clicking

Just got end game trophy. Quick question:
Is there any reason to start a new game, I have a bunch of puzzles left on my previous playthrough and I was just treated with a start a new game screen? I would much rather if nothing changes load my earlier save and continue with the + puzzles and finish what I heave left in "town" and "quarry" .
You can do,
there is no reason to delay the end
Think of them as
tutorial panels for later.
Yes you can. You can still do the other stuff after you saw the ending.

Oh it's just a secret, that's a relief. That was a really surreal first impression of the game for me lol

Huh? Where is that one? Can't find a single Tetris puzzle at the Monastery.
Or did you mean the ones in the town?
Yes definitely load the last save, there should be one in the
lift
Starting to think the "ending" of this game is really badly handled. It throws so many people off
I found a door on the beach next to the desert ruins. Behold:

It has completely baffled me. I know what those dots do, and I know what tetrominos do, and I know what the blue boxes do, but I'm just not seeing a solution, or indeed even the possibility that a solution I'm not seeing could even be possible.
I tried looking at the puzzle through colored glass, and at an angle. I attempted a drive-by shooting on the puzzle from a boat. I tried turning my back on the puzzle and seeing if it responded to reverse psychology. I smelled the puzzle, and I touched the puzzle, and I drew the crude blocky outline of a dog on the puzzle. I licked the puzzle, and it tasted like a computer monitor. I tried listening to the puzzle, and singing to the puzzle, and taking the puzzle on a date to a fun faire hall of mirrors, and the puzzle and I are very much in love now. A solution, however, still eludes me.

I don't get how I am supposed to deduce the other side of this? I can't get the sun to reflect on it no matter what. https://i.gyazo.com/500b445ba97db7b02f97c7af5f0265da.jpg
Try to approach the problem from another direction

Pretty big hint:
Walk around. Walk in places very close to the panel where you wouldn't expect to find anything useful
The guy above gave a more subtle hint. Try going with his advice first.

Okey, thanks! This has proven to be one of my favourite games of all time so no hard feeling towards the game.
The ending just had me a bit puzzled (no pun intended), since the game seems about unsolving the mystery of the island and you're just left with a start-a-new-game screen. But if there is nothing new to be discovered in new game, I'll go back and continue from where I left off.
1. The pieces are too far apart, so I'm pretty sure you can't combine them all.
2. You have 4 blue blocks, so they could cancel the 4-block tetronimo completely. Again I think it's all too spread out for anything else to be possible.
3. That just leaves the 3-piece block. It can be rotated, but has to pass through its marker. If it lies flush against the wall yo won't be able to pick up the dots behind it, so that only leaves one possible position for this block.
Now you just need to find a path that hits every point and satisfies these restrictions.

I'm stumped by the monastery's indoor puzzles. I'm guessing the key is in the back windows but I don't get it. Too vague.
One of the tetriminos has four blocks. There are four delete-blocks. Is that enough of a hint?
Head out the back of the monastery (towards the sea), the jungle is on your left, but the first puzzle might be tricky to find

Thanks man. I guess I didn't really have a fifth one.Do you have to do EVERY puzzle in the mountain caves to get "the challenge"?
If I'm not mistaken:
just the pillar and then one more.
Thank you I solved it after hours of extreme over thinking lol

Awesome! That puzzle was really hard for me to grasp. I actually solved it completely by accident.

Yeah, one of the first things I do with one of the simple tutorial panels where there are only three or four possible paths is draw all of them to see what happens, even if I "solved" it the first time. The entire game is Blow trying to teach you the joy of the scientific method.
Thanks, had to go but I'll try to remember. I literally took the boat two laps around the island to see if there was somewhere I hadn't been.

Step back and assess the situation. Move around at all angles. You'll figure it out.
