Yeah that's what I thought
the first one with the straight line 4 and two 3's I had a solution but it wasn't working. Was tearing my hair out. It look like it should the 4 and two 3's were grouped together, them and only them.
But yeah if you do the puzzle on the bridge backwards you can get out of that area. Just mirror it so the middle horizontal 3 is linked to the vertical 3 on the left.

Solved exactly 80 puzzles after about 3 hours last night before really getting stumped and having to go exploring for some solutions or my next "ahaa" experience. Hopefully coming back to this fully rested has opened my mind.

Perhaps everywhere outside. But how many interiors have you explored?
Been playing for two hours or so, 68 puzzles completed, one "thing" has been turned on.
This game is really pretty.
This line puzzles are getting pretty old already.
I don't "feel smart "at all when I complete them like in the Talos Principle, for example. They feel more like a chore.
Traversing through this world does feels like a chore. Having to hold a button to "run" is really stupid considering how you're running all the time.
I don't like having no music at all, guess I'll have to use custom soundtracks and stuff.
These are my early impressions. I'm feeling pretty iffy on my purchase right now.

swamp area
Head towards the
mountain with the tripod thing on top, and it's near some lovely white fluffy trees/plants
I feel like I've explored all the interiors I've come across that don't have this sort of puzzle on the door to enter. I'm still looking around - I'm guessing it's fairly obvious when you come across the puzzle that teaches you how to use these?
Holy shit.
I've been successfully solving those using the wrong approach. I was wondering why my method stopped working on some of the later puzzles.
I need to revisit some puzzles tonight.
I've done the same amount of puzzles oddly and I feel the exact same.

Okay some puzzles are just too hard/ frustrating. I don't think a normal human being is able to solve some of the puzzles. I'm stuck since 70 minutes. It's in the forest area, the puzzles where you have to draw around
. There are three panels left. But I can't get past the current panel. It's a pain in the ass, I have no idea what to do, tried almost everything.
the shadows

Just used that. Cool.
All true...
The game needs more variety and less pointless exploration.
Maybe it gets better later, but I don't feel rewarded... I'm at about the same point.

There's too much shadow

Anyone having this issue?
No shadows...
Yeah, I have a similar issue. When I start the game, shadows are all wonky and move when I move. After a few seconds of walking it just covers everything and it looks like there are no shadows at all, like in your screenshot.
Hope this gets fixed soon, the lighting in this game is so nice.
EDIT: Devs are aware of it and it's on the to-do list: http://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/3/458606877334626776/
I wanted to get through this without seeking help but I've spent 2 hours on this damn puzzle and it's giving me an actual headache so I have no choice.
HOW?

Tip:
Have a look around the puzzle, check the nearby surroundings and see if you can find something that is similar to the ones you just did.
Keep playing.
Fast travel
If is is the one with:
shadows on the lower half. . .go back and open the door. There is a reason it's on a timer.

Link pictures please.
Do you know that the white stary thing also can correct a fawlty dot. If that doesn't help you pm me and I can give you the answer.

The way I know I play video games very differently from some is when I hear complaints about having to hold a run button down. Especially in a game like this. I'd hate to be your waiter.
Thanks just did the first sets of tutorials for that section now, makes so much sense now. Slightly worried about going any further
into the swamp as you and others have said they got stuck... eeek
OMG this motherfucking puzzle. This is one of the top 10% in terms of how long it stumped me... and it was doubly frustrating because it was the very last one I needed to turn on the 7th laser.
It's also one of maybe only ~3 puzzles in the game I consider a little unfair, although less so than the other two.
Hint:
You've always used that white symbol to nullify a single square. Could it nullify something else instead?

One of the developers just posted that you can change the vertical FOV in the AppData files (default is vertical 54, horizontal auto calculated from this and aspect ratio): http://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/3/458606877334931773/#c458606877335050768

Has anyone bought this via the Humble Store? Just saw this line of text
and I wanted to make sure whether or not this meant you get one or the other, not both.
I think he said in his stream earlier (maybe it's archived if you want to check) that it's OR and not both because he sees giving two copies of a game to people who will sell the Steam key as bad.
it means you get one or the other. he didnt want people re-selling the keys

The feeling wheb you think you finally understand, only to get stuck once again, lol. Loving it though. The atmosphere is amazing.
This is amazing. Movement is pretty slow, so it might actually work.

Any help on (what I think is) the bunker?
It seems like it's a really tricky color puzzle - the 5th floor is broken so I think we need to skip to the 6th (green tone). Tried making a list of all the colors with each filter but I still can't find a good method to guess which color will be which in the next floor.

I'm getting terrible motion sickness from this game. I could only play for about 30 minutes. Hopefully there's an fov hack that can be employed.
Third or fourth rock formation puzzle on the water only has the one small rock jutting out. It and the clouds don't do anything. Tried a bunch of formations. Fucking hell.
Blergh. Hate leaving puzzles and coming back especially when I get the concept of it but the hints don't match the rest of the ones before it.
Okay, I can't get the logic behind the set of the puzzles in
. I've somehow solved a couple of them, but I don't grasp how.
Please, no solutions, just a tip on what I should be aiming for!

Apparently I'm really, really stupid. Stumped on so many puzzles, but I feel like an absolute idiot on this one, which is
related.
If anyone can give me a hint, it'd be welcome. Imgur link in spoiler tag:

Yes.
This seems like a deceptively simple puzzle on the left, but I have no damn clue what the pattern is:

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated. Feel like an idiot.

Loving it so far! It's very satisfying to figure this stuff out. Still have no idea what's actually going on or anything, but I'll just keep going! It's a wonderful place to explore and do some puzzling in.
Quick question: Are some puzzle series purely for training, to make you understand the rules, and don't actually result in anything happening that would help you progress? Definitely seems like it.
Yep, that's precisely one of the ones I was thinking of. There are also random single puzzles just lying around here and there, which don't seem to do anything either.
