I don't understand the hollow blue tetris pieces. Anyone able to explain the logic?

If you trace over one of them, you can subtract that number of pieces from a normal block and still solve the puzzle

Question about the Monastery area, I think I may have just solved a puzzle accidentally but I'm not sure.
It was the 4th puzzle inside the temple that involves lining up the branches of the trees. I figured out the first bit of the 4th of these puzzles, where it shows the top and bottom of the solution. Then just to guess, I tried stair casing from the end of the top portion to the beginning of the bottom portion, because that's how some of the solution looked already. It happened to be right. Was this the intended way of solving, or did I miss another branch I was supposed to look at from a certain angle. Thanks!

By using the green square and its flashing red light, I've discovered that the only other purple square is the one on the bottom row, everything else is green. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
But try as I might, this puzzle is just proving to be unsolvable to me.
Can anybody give me any hints please?

If you would take a look at the ground under the branch a broken part is laying on the floor.

If that's the case, why is the last puzzle in this picture so weirdly shaped? Shouldn't I only be subtracting one block?

Well, the door puzzle is pretty easy.
The two before it have you
controlling two lines, but the yellow one is invisible

It is only subtracting one block. The third space to the left of the exit. That puzzle would be impossible otherwise, due the big hole in the middle of the icon you'd be attempting to make

The yellow line is still there, its just invisible so you have go be able to see where the yellow one would move as well.

Just finished it, only missing the last trophy, great great game, 2/2 for Blow can't wait to see what he comes up next with his team! (in 7 years 
).
Can't see what I can do more except 2 puzzles (one in the boat wreak and one on the way to the top of the mountain) but I can't make out what's the rule
! Did I miss an entire zone with this theme or am I supposed to get it alone? Anyway hunting down the + puzzles now There's some closed doors I've seen too so I've probably missed some stuff!

Only look here if you have absolutely no plans of solving it yourself!
Solution
There are a few reasons why this game has no music.
Game saves just as you get to the end sequence, no fear. I was a little scared as I was greeted by a "Start new game" at the end but the save was there in the load screen.
Thanks! Then I think I'll go there right now.

So for the last long rectangular one in the monastery
Am I thinking about this too hard?
I see the branch on the floor. But I can't tell where the hell it fell off from. Am I supposed to guess? And I can't really tell if it's going to be used as a path, or as a hinderance.
OrbitalBeard
Member
Yeah, you're thinking too hard. You've already got the trickiest part figured out.
If you've lined up the path properly, that piece should fit right in. Might take a bit to get it lined up correctly though.

Based on the first panel of the four that are off screen to the right, I'm sure this should work

If you go to the pause menu and click on load game you might be able to load a previous save, but I think that only shows up if your clicked on load game before.

If you dont like those simple early tetris puzzles you are going to hate ths game.
So better get to loving them!
You need to fully embrace them and not think of them as some thing you can get buy without fully understanding the exact mechanics. There is a LOT of them and they only get harder.

Sadly it loads me up on the same place I am, already glitched. Looks like I might be doomed, sadly.
Without spoilers he said
I would simply say, look near by.
What have you not seen before?
What do you think it is?
Could it be relevant to the puzzle?
