WHAT A TWIST :/

I think you guys are only halfway through, if you are where I think you are.
I figured it was unsolvable with the other half of the gate casting its shadow, so I figured it had to be opened from somewhere, I followed the wire to another set of tree shade puzzles, did a few and got totally blocked on one where I had way too much shadow.

Question for the Red area
I'm doing the set of puzzles that involve combining yellow blocks to make one big shape on a green background. At the end of this set of puzzles there is a tile that has two stacks of two yellow blocks, separated by a gap. I don't really understand. I've made shapes which u figured would work but I just can't really tell what that tile means. Hope this made sense.

If you're indiscriminately taking pictures of everything you're probably robbing yourself of happy accidents and discoveries. The level design is very thoughtful. Trust the game to prod you and remind you when you need to refer to something. Otherwise you're going to be a tourist that barely looks up from the travel guide. No harm in using a camera instead of a pencil in those cases.

No, just things that are very obviously solutions to some line puzzle I'm gonna find somewhere later on, and that I know I wouldn't remember otherwise. Things I would draw on paper if I didn't feel like it's easier to just take a photo. I'm not photographing everything I see!
Dude on mobile images and videos are entirely visible, even inside a spoiler tag. That is a huge spoiler, in plain sight. Can we just get a "link to all images or else" rule in here please?
Edit: this time (this is the second time I've seen some version of this spoiler) I got burned by "embed YouTube", an option that's not even visible in the nonmobile preferences. In any case, the embed ignores spoiler tags.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Crap, I just activated the metal barge across some water with the tetrimino screens, and now there's no way back over. I'm stuck with two puzzles I can't manage and can't go do anything else?
Same place as me I think - the puzzles are super tricky too.
like from above? I looked from the top to where the entrance outside of the temple is and there's sun spots that appear but can't work out how it fits.. Hmm..

This game is AMAZING. Played about 3 hours and loving it so far as expected. Even the first hour of the game didn't do justice to just how unexpected and surprising the world and puzzles can be. You really have to think outside the box and the game does a great job of letting you figure out things on your own. Can't wait to play and explore more. Great puzzle game.
Intriguing game, spent a little to much time one the beach/cave-door puzzle. (not solved yet, although I think I know the premise for it, always one dot off).
Warning; this caused some burn-in on my lcd (or ghosting of pixel of whatever you call it on lcd, it's a old tv).
So don't spend to much time one one puzzle

You can leave again if you want by
mirroring the puzzle on the barge

Uh, a very subtle camera motion on those puzzles could help then. Tweet Blow maybe?
I got 4 hours left, crappy internet access be damned.
People, I need some help.
I finished the
and now every puzzle I encounter with a new mechanic I have no idea how to solve them. I have no idea if I'm being dumb or if I'm passing the introduction to those mechanics. For example
I don't need a guide, just an indication if I'm missing something major or if I should keep trying these puzzles. Help!!
I finished the
first laser.
I encountered a puzzle with two Tetris like pieces and it was the first time I stumbled upon that. It's near a barrage. Am I supposed to know how to solve this or is there a place that teaches me first?

yeah, that's a perfectly fine way to play the game. it's good for that. but both have to pay attention while they are introducing different things so nobody gets lost.
Yep my wife helped me with a few puzzles this morning. It helps to have different perspective. Probably will have to explain the puzzle "rules" if she is not there the whole time though.

2 Brains are certainly better than one, but only if both of those brains like puzzle solving.
So uh...
I'm at the green treetops area, where you have to solve lot of puzzles with the star symbols (mostly about keep two stars in one area" type.
However, now I encountered a black star with the usual white/black squares. First time the puzzle solved itself when I put the black star in the same area as white squares, but on the next puzzle same tactic simply didn't work. Now there is just... nothing. I have no idea how to proceed, which is frustrating as I think I'm pretty close to acing this area.

all the people stuck on that puzzle.... kinda baffling to me
I don't think you'll enjoy this game.
Yeah I got that now. Slightly frustrated as I got a bunch of the puzzles done now. I got the door open up there and 2 of the puzzles in the line of 4.
I don't recommend clicking this unless you've explored a lot of books and crannies, don't want to ruin anything for anyone.
But I was just clicking about when
But I was just clicking about when
I click on the middle of the windmill... WOAH! Don't know what happened, but I moved the line down the orange panels, saw an area where the sparkles started glowing white and I hit X. The game made a loud noise but I have no idea what happened. It says +1 on my save now also. Does that mean I completed a secret puzzle?

That one was easy. It's the puzzle right after that I still cannot figure out. I actually solved it by guessing but I have absolutely NO idea why it's that particular solution. It is driving me NUTS.
How on earth do you solve the second to last transparent water puzzle?!?

I got the door open. I can't for the life of me get the first one in the line of 4

I have a quick question regarding an early game mechanic.
I've only ran into very hard versions of those so far so not been able to test it well yet. Also regarding the
I've been kind of zipping around trying my hand at lots of different puzzles rather than spending too long working out one and I've still not found any real 'introduction' to those rule sets.
Am I supped to draw the tetris like shapes?
hexagon in the desert, is that for later? I couldn't really see anything around that indicated what it wanted me to do with it.

Okay, been over an hour now.
At the end of the desert temple section just before the elevator, 3 different puzzles can't work it out.

So I just did a puzzle related to the wooden building near the water.
You had to go across the water and face the building and solve a puzzle using the bulding's reflection in the water, I did it and then a bunch of yellow dust flew off somewhere, any idea what that's about?
why? I don't know what everyone else is doing but I have the game open in a window and just dip in and out when I get stuck.
