I don't get it. (Tetraminos spoiler?)
Why is this wrong :
Hint 1:
take a better look at the shapes
Hint 2:
symbols cannot overlap

NeoZylom,
Also, don't embed posts. People on mobile can see them. Create a link.
Pieces can't overlap. You don't have enough spaces in your solution.

Quoted for a new page. Gimme that juicy hint!
The puzzles are randomly/procedurally generated each time. It wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have a time limit. They don't alternate. They allegedly can always be solved, but sometimes I swear it seems like you can't, and since it's RNG, you really can't be 100% sure.
Aww shit, son.

Question regarding something endgame:
what does the second plus mean? I have one but I don't know why.

I did read the first one. And you're right it doesn't seem spoilery.
The only answers I can think of for the question are
taking notes, eating, or listening to music

Oh man, you're so close. I'm glad you listened to my advice and read the first tag.

No.
I was stuck on that for an hour and had the same exact issue. Came back to it the next day and immediately realized why it wasn't working.
Absolutely loving this game. The way all of the puzzles build on each other is brilliant. There hasn't been a single puzzle so far that I feel is cheap or that I wasn't given all the information I need to solve it.
Blow has done such a great job in designing the puzzles.
Hopefully the sales pick up, but I'm happy I bought it day one for full price. Easily worth $40 and had it been priced at $60 would've been worth that too.

Thank you, Mr. Blow and everyone at Thekla for making this true labor of love. I don't think I will ever play another puzzle game like this so thoroughly without needing a single hint.

Fuck, I accidentally solved a puzzle.
Edit: and the next one.
Now I won't totally understand the rules >.>

I was stuck on the last panel in there for so long,
the one right before you enter the bamboo maze
My eyes were closed for so long they stung when I opened them again.
Unsolve it, and make mistakes on it on purpose. That'll help you understand why it worked one way and not other ways.
Or it might have multiple ways to solve it.

I still haven't used a guide, but this game is starting to make me feel like an idiot. I just started laughing when I finally realized the solution to the
puzzle, and I just had to

Time for a break! SFV awaits.

Quick question regarding the mountain peak:
Can the statues "block" the black or white squares, or is this a fool's errand?
I love getting stuck on tutorials...
Treehouse area:
So far I (think) I've learned that
Is that right so far? Is that still the rule with this one or is it trying to teach me something new? What am I doing wrong?
Treehouse area:
So far I (think) I've learned that
they have to be grouped into pairs
All the other puzzles before it had them grouped in a particular way.
What's changed from then to this puzzle?
I am still early game (Treehouse), but I am completely stumped by these two:

My understanding is that two starbursts have to be grouped together, and that the remaining two need to be grouped with 1 black square each in separate areas. I just see absolutely no way to do it.

My first Tetris puzzle, so I really don't know the rules. I don't see any way to make this work without screwing up the grouping of the starbursts. I have tried orienting the 3 block bar vertically, but that doesn't seem to be an acceptable solution.

Desert complete. Some of that shit was hard, but nothing compared to Tetris.

Fool's errand, don't try to be more clever than the game
Thanks! I got it right after making that post, haha.
The only thing I can see is all but one have been symmetrical, and the door after this one was not symmetrical and I was able to solve it using the group by pairs logic
You're overthinking it.
The stars don't care what they're grouped with as long they're grouped with one more star.
Leave it. You'll eventually reach an area that will teach you about them.

According to Blow on Twitter, there's a way of making the challenge significantly easier. Hmm.
It's also related to color.
About the puzzles in the room with the colored light in the town.
This worked for the left puzzle, but not the right. In the end, I gave up and looked up the solution(the only time I've had to do so so far).
This was my solution that did not work:

This is the working solution i found online:

I don't understand why one worked, but not the other. Is there something I'm completely missing with this room?
I just screen capped each of the three colors and layered them together.

I'm at the town/village and for the life of me I cant figure out how to solve the solar panel lookin puzzle on top of the house with the grey mostly destroyed house.
I solved the puzzle on the inside to power the one up top, but I don't know how to get the solution for it.
I know that it's a
I've even looked up the actual solution, but I'm not going to solve it unless I know WHY it's the solution.

I know that it's a
reflection/shadow puzzle like from the desert area, but the tree branches are missing to get the full solution.
I've even looked up the actual solution, but I'm not going to solve it unless I know WHY it's the solution.
The shadows on the ground next to the puzzle don't seem to match up like how the solution looks online, and looking at the tree branches directly don't seem to match up either.
You are missing one rule about the star, or you are kinda adding one that doesn't exist actually. You can group pair of star with anything of different color. In this case, no star need to be paired with a black square to make it works
You are missing the tetris "tutorial" for this one I guess. You might want to check an other place. If you're ok to spoil yourself though...
tetris blocks don't have to be on their own square. In this case, inverse the 2 and 3 parts.
I was going for a more subtle approach, but this is a more direct hint here.
Think on that, and your previous puzzles with the stars, and then think about why
just grouping them doesn't solve the puzzle

Hint:
The stand
Bigger hint:
Look at the panel's stand
Even bigger hint:
The panel's stand is crooked!
REALLY big hint:
Since the stand is crooked, you should start at the entrance point to the right

No. Not "the challenge". "The Challenge". You'll know.
