Tried/thought about that for hours, still no clue. I feel like I'm not understanding something vital, because nothing makes sense in theory.

Just poking my head in to say two things:
First, this game is awesome. It feels so good when you figure out some mechanic that has been eluding you.
Second, scrolling quickly through a page of this OT is funny. Probably more blacked out text than not.

switch the positions of the 2 bottom shapes. They form a 2x2 square in the middle. With the blue square in the middle you get a line. Remember that it removes overlaping squares

I'm stuck on
the last sound puzzle on that big panel that springs up in the forest. Any hints?

Do you want an explanation? Because if so:
See the stand for the panel? It's slanted - the panel was originally two squares to the side, meaning you start from the circle on the side, follow the lights on the panel until they end, then switch to the lights on the board (transition is two wide).
If just a hint:
There's something that says the panel is not where it was supposed to be.

but but but
they'd be 6 squares wide. Like, fuck, if that's how this rule works, I'll never be able to wrap my head around it oh god. And I'm nearing the end of the game lol.
if I don't have to take even basic rules of "how big is the field" into account with this before subtracting the shapes, then this might be where I wave the white flag o.o

Hmm not really if you've gotten the previous ones you should be able to get that one
Oh, right, here's a hint
both patterns you're hearing have five beats, so you can't filter them that way. Only one of them is actually valid with the shapes you're given though

The entire shadow has been moved. ollow the same thing that has been done on previous puzzles, but have the movement to the left in mind in every part of the puzzle
even the start point
I just did it.
1.
Check your environment; there is only 1 broken tree branch in the entire inside area
2.
The previous puzzle had branches that led to nowhere on the way to the exit, so be wary of those. It won't simply be a straight path to the exit.
3.
The broken branch had an origin somewhere and it has a specific shape. The idea is to fit it into the overall pattern.
Yah that's what I was trying to do, I thought I did though, I guess not, but I got just before your post, thanks though.
I just started "the challenge." This is both hilarious and terrifying.

Can someone spoil this one for me (town puzzle)?
http://i.imgur.com/Cm8a96u.jpg
I did every single puzzle in the treehouse and this one makes no sense to me. Looked up the solution online and it's completely contrary to everything I know about this symbol. There's obviously a rule I missed somewhere but not sure where. In any case what's the extra rule?

I think I know what you're reffering to with your hint and that's what I was trying to play around with. If I still don't get it next time I hop on, I'll just spoil myself lol

The two bottom shapes switched should be put on top of each other like this
()ss
sSSs
() is empty. capital S are two squares in the same spot. Remove the blue square and you get: ssss

you have to look at it through the yellow window in the door behind you (which you have to open)

It only looks hard. The one you just solved is way harder imo.

160 in, four areas finished. Currently in that building with the red tree, just
. Enjoying the game a ton but I've yet to encounter anything mindblowing. Trying to not fall into the trap of expecting more than the game might have.
Edit: Made a lot of progress in the area. It's very cool, this is the kind of stuff I was really hoping for going in.
opened the shutters and now trying to align a starting point for the path through the yellow foliage outside

You mean the
end of the game inside the montain? Yes, I did that, but I was wondering if something else happend if you get the 11, but everything looks the same... maybe is too obvius and I am used to complicated point of view now after the game hahahaha
Do the same thing you did as when you had 7. Go up the mountain, unlock the box, ect.

Alright, look at this from a bit later on.

I tried various variants just to see what works and what doesn't, and i have absolutely no understanding of why these work, and how the fuck the third one is supposed to work ever.
For 1, literally everything works. It doesn't matter what I do. Why. If the upper symbol makes the 2-block "disappear", why on earth does this show aw correct?
For 2, same thing. The 2 minus blocks delete the 2 block. But a random 3 square big selection counts as correct.
For 3, the symbols aren't big enough to even fill the 4x4 line. Wat
I literally have absolutely no clue about how this shit works, and I wrapped my head around pretty much everything else so far, with I think 7-8 lasers active.

oh fuck the line splits it again. stuff right of the line only reacts to stuff right of the line. ooooh fffff
Yes but you have to use the rotation you used in the sub puzzle on the top puzzle.

Alright, I used to think the Tetris stuff was the worst, I take that back, the trees are the worst.
Eff the trees.

The first shouldnt work if you isolate the yellow shape.
Since the blue shape deleted the yellow one, you have just a blank maze. You only need to go to the exit.
For the third puzzle just
delete the 2x2 square. Group it with all the blue shapes and outline the 3-square shape.
That's the real secret ending of the Witness and Blows plan all along.

I don't understand the Tetris piece line puzzles in although I thought I did.
also don't understand the black stars.
Having fun with it, I'm 130 puzzles down and keeping on truckin'.
Are you supposed to make the shapes solely with he lines? What's with the slanted ones? There a puzzle in the treehouse with a single block Tetris piece in the middle that's impossible to isolate.
Again at the treehouse, there's a puzzle with a single black star that you can't pair up with anything. No combination seems to work.
Guys, is the
a point of no return?
Also, I am trying to find all the

Also, I am trying to find all the
underground entrances to the cinema
underneath the desert and from underneath the windmill some closed doors underground, probably from an entrance that I haven't found

The slanted shapes can be rotated in any orientation.
For the black star: if you can't pair it with another black star, what's left that you can pair it with?

If you have fully completed the
marsh
Use the blue blocks to delete the T-piece completely, while crossing every black dot and tracing the outline of the 3-piece.

I was stuck there too.
I'm fairly certain the 1x3 will be sideways in ts own enclosed area and the T-piece will be eliminated by the 4 blue squares in another group, but I couldn't make it work while still getting every hexagon
Yeah I mean, I've completed most of the game and know what I'm supposed to do, but I still can't get it to work out. I've reached that point where I'm past trying on my own and just want to find an answer so I can move on lol. Thanks though

Im getting lost in here....
I went back to the montain... which is already open. The cable is not white anymore though... and then I repeat... pretending that I wanna active the box again, and make the 3 puzzles to "open" the enter.... but nothing is happening. When I had 7, I just use the marc in the box to active the floor... which is activate anyway...

Yep! I'm referring to the
branch on the ground
It's not a big deal, but I just thought it was a bit weird.
Sorry, I should've been more clear! I found the solution, I just thought the ruleset was unclear.
Although, I'm not sure if the origin of the branch was clear? Can you actually make that out?
well, unless I'm thinking of this wrong it seems to me it couldn't be vertical because then you'd have to have hexagons left on the spaces on the outside part that made the shape

351 panels +29, 8 lazers activated including the one in the treehouses...
Any hints?
still can't figure it out the multicolored stars door at the town, I haven't faced anything like that in the treehouses. You have four white stars, three red, threes blue, two black, two violet, two green.
Any hints?

I am in the quarry right now. Am I supposed to know how these 3 way white tiles are supposed to work at this point or are tutorial panels elsewhere?

I finished the treehouse area and I've no idea how to solve that puzzle... :/
I go back to the treehouse constantly but I have an pretty certain Idea of how things work but according to my understanding that door is anything like the ones in the treehouse.
Edit: Nevermind,
I've opened the door inside the house that shows me the answer... -_- it was impossible to open it without this info.
