You mean the treehouses? I meant the other swamp
Edit: actually they are right next to each other anyway
Now I'm second guessing myself as far as my understanding of the rules of black and white dots.
I got through the tutorial section and other black and white puzzles but now I'm at the part where you have to
and I feel like maybe I don't properly understand the rule set.
Do they need to be entirely separated? Does just one set need to be enclosed?

How in the hell is this puzzle even possible? (In the treetops)

So the sun looking shapes need to be in pairs, along with the black/orange boxes. The boxes seemingly can be secluded but only if they both touch nothing else while the stars need to stay in pairs no matter what. Given the shape of this I have hit it from damn near ever angle since it's basically a mirrored block and don't see any way to keep the sun shapes together without splitting the boxes.

Just so you know
you have to readjust the angle of one of the lasers ... did it by accident.
All black and white have to be separate, and they can also be separate from the same color ie if theres 2 whites and 2 blacks the whites and blacks must be separate but you could also separate the 2 whites from each other.
Anybody?
Also, can the tetris pieces share squares or not? Feel like i've had varying results.

Using paper to write down solutions for later
iPad with drawing program for working out puzzles on the fly
I've taken a few photos as well, but haven't really gone back to reference them.
A and B, both. I need a notebook with outlined blocks, my squares are not exactly squares as much as four lines sort of connected.
Stumped on one of the last tetris tutorial puzzles. I'm gonna have to sleep on this, it's 2 am all of a sudden!

D) Sketchpad and a Notepad in the Steam Browser, coupled with the occasional screengrab.
Very effective!
Kind of hint, kind of solution:
Try seclusion get the blacks but keeping the oranges together
I solved a puzzle and I'm not sure why I got the answer.

4 hedge mazes, the first one has gates, the second one has grass, the third one... I sort of went by amount of dirt but it didn't really work. In desperation, I tried it anyway and it was right. What was the real reason? I think maybe trying to avoid shadows as much as possible?
Anyone notice the Steam Achievement list and the PS4 trophy list are a lot different? The Steam list only has two trophies, one for
PS4's list has fourteen, including ones for
. Nothing big, although it makes it a little trickier for PC players to learn the official names.
Anyway, just got home from work, and i'm 145 puzzles deep. I thought about those damn line puzzles all day today. Such a wonderful game. I'd LOVE to see some crazy speed runs of this at Summer Games Done Quick this year, or maybe AGDQ next year.

I got the game today (thanks to giantbomb), and its good stuff. Finished my first main puzzle by the dock and the connected area. Very cool stuff. I do get the weird motion sickness complaints though. My eyes feel strange after playing. Similar to what I experienced the first time I tried the 3ds.
Very weird. But awesome game nonetheless

Look at the platform you're on and then look for similarities in the puzzle that moves it. Tetris pieces can be combines to make a larger shape ie two 1x3 can be drawn as a 2x3, but they can't overlap.
I refuse to believe. I've stared at this thing for like 2 hours yesterday and today, drawn a shitload of diagrams. It makes no sense.
You can go back,
just reverse the solution.
They can not share squares. But they can "connect" (as in no need to separate them by a line if they are next to eachother.

Gotta say, this is one of the most respectful and good-natured OT I've seen in a long time. Thanks for respecting spoilers everyone. I'm avoiding all hints but it's still fun to see people enjoying the game.

I was happy to realize that you could combine the pieces into different shapes, but I can't figure out this one. Even used graph paper to draw different configurations

I thought it was pitch or something, but i hear, high high mid low or something, but that doesnt seem to be right. I have no ear for sound at all.
to clarify i am on the second puzzle of the whole area. So it doesnt even sound complex, i just cant tell if i am hearing it wrong. or what

Ooh,
I noticed the footstep sounds but didn't put it together. I guess my solution was a lucky guess.

So like, can you leave the start of the

? I moved a platform and I cant seem to get back. These are by far my least favorite puzzles of the game too.
swamp
tetris puzzles start
I am drawing the 4th maze in the castle right now, and trying to figure out how do they connect.
The multi-monitor option. Should have thrown that in there. Sounds very convenient.
Witness makes a very compelling case for dual screen gaming.
My full reply may spoil the solution so avoid until after you get it, but that place in particular made me realize how handy extra tools can be. (maze spoiler)
I went back down and took pictures of every solution (on the door) then ran back up the tower. I didn't turn on screenlock for the full cheat I just adjusted the orientation in my head.

Can someone just explain the tetris puzzles? I feel like the rules are constantly changing in them and I don't get a grasp of any of the mechanics. I've bumbled my way through a bunch of them, but I don't fully understand them.
I get that I have to
But when they start throwing
I feel like I'm going to have to eventually either quit playing or start using a guide because these things are in the later puzzles in almost every section and my brain doesn't process them at all.
I get that I have to
make the tetris shape and sometimes box them in so that there aren't any extra boxes within the shape.
tilted shapes and the blue hollow squares at me I'm totally lost. I've chanced my way through some of them but I still don't get what they mean.

I've crossed the rubicon.
I've graduated from sketching stuff out to cutting out little cardboard tetrominos for the last handful of swamp puzzles.
Tilted shapes
mean you can rotate the shape, but not mirror it.
Mean you must REMOVE that shape from what you've put together
Tilted means you can rotate the shape you have to draw. Hollow squares are "negative", you can use them to chop bits off other shapes or overlap them
yeah, i have cut out squares out of sticky-notes, and sitck them to my screen and move them around until i get it
When you get it you are going to slap your forehead on how easy it is.
You will scream when you figure this one out.

I thought this game could only have 1 save slot
I never thought to stick them to my screen. smooth.
I got stuck there for a while last night.
The star needs a single "partner" of the same color. It can be either another star or a square, but there can only be two

is that the one with 2 L shapes on the left and the vertical long one on the right?

Thanks, I'll give these a try when I start playing again. I kind of understood the blue shapes, but I still don't think I'm applying that knowledge very well.

I'm going to go ahead and say that officially the Tetris swap is not taught well since just about 75% of each page in this thread now is people banging their heads against the beginning section.
I'm just about done with it and kind of flew through it once I figured out a rule that I still feel like was never taught well or at all.

yep, it's a grid of 4 x 4 blocks

Draw the vertical long shape on the far LEFT and the L shapes right next to it. one at the top and another at the bottom.
