A bit short but it has potential for a larger game

I echo 'Anonymous' above me. It was an engaging world, (with maybe less color definition than desired), with the potential for some engaging puzzles. Hope there is plans for further development!

Can't figure out the second puzzle.

I'm a bit confused because I finished the game in less than 3 minutes?? I feel like there was only one puzzle and the two other ones were just decorations? I moved the stones randomly but suddenly I finished the game?

same thing happened to me. solved the first one, put on the mask, got confused by what the second one was supposed to be doing, moved on and played with the last one and won. I guess im just cracked

moving the bricks in the 2nd / 3rd puzzle changes the shape pattern that appear in the purple / yellow background.

its a neat idea, but yeah i agree with some of the anons. they dont really show off the main mechanic very well, i was able to brute force the second easily and only really got it in the 3rd one. hope it shows up as a full game at some point though

#1 clearly makes a bridge.
#2 match the mask provided view to the wall pattern.
#3 match the mask provided view to the giant mask.
You won! Now make a dumb comment on some blog site.

Or like I did, Made the bridge. Got the mask on. Then was stumped. Played again, still stumped. Came back to comments on here and found out what the aim is. None of these comments are dumb.

Put on the mask, the up/down blocks are more difficult to identify where they belong.

Every element of this small puzzle game was fun. Biggest challenge was waiting for it to load and run on my computer. The first and second times I tried, I thought it was stalled. Finally I just let it sit for a while and eventually it worked.

That was pretty good!

I liked this! The controls are annoying though, the camera moves when doing the puzzles and I was getting dizzy xD
