Did matthew really say this is supposed to be a 20 hours game?

It took me 9 hours to do 28 levels.

>>716222154 (OP)
IQ issue

Am I missing something? I've been stuck here for 20 minutes

>>716222750
which puzzle is this? (row / column)

>>716222154 (OP)
Someone post the download link.

>>716223471
Row 7 Column 14
I figured it out but it felt like trial and error

lol

>still no rule34 of the cat demons
I guess it's not a rule after all

bump

>>716222154 (OP)
He also said he barely playtested it.

>>716222750
I don't understand; this isn't Picross? You can just put the black squares anywhere? What are the purple and blue things for? Why are some of the squares numbered?

>>716222750
Is being stuck for 20 minutes a long time? Shit that's like every puzzle for me.

>>716227089
It's not quite the same as Picross, the rules are different.

UH OH

The price has gone down. What does this mean? This is bad right?

>>716227089
It's more akin to Last Call BBS' Dungeons & Diagrams, the Zachtronics game.
Different rules though.

I think that's just regional pricing, it's still the same 5 USD it was yesterday for me

>>716230153
It's smelling like some bullshit ARG too?

>>716227089
you really just saw something that looked like picross but different and your brain immediately shattered huh

>>716230126
matts not concerned with money

>>716230126
I wonder how Matt feels about sales/discounts.
>>716232734
On the contrary, pic related

>>716233426
what does the gray box mean though... there must be a secret involved

>>716233557
Anon, I... censored it because it's an early puzzle I had already solved and didn't want to spoil the answer.

>>716222154 (OP)
>logic bombs
are they truth nuke's cousins?

>>716222154 (OP)
When it was announced for the first time it was supposedly 8 hours
>Yesterday, I did my first full playthrough, which took about 7 hours. If you were to speedrun inputting the solutions it would only take an hour but I reckon a first time player will be in for around 8 hours playtime.

Granted this was when the game only had 128 puzzles but it's still well off

i hate b****s so much it's unreal

Does Matt think everyone is some kind of super genius?

>>716234725
I think it's a reference to one of his videos. Can't remember which one

>>716235136
it's a puzzle game for people who like puzzle games so probably

>>716234725
>>716236279
It's referencing the lack of niggers said in bioshock infinite

i've unlocked the sixth row but at this point i'll just cheat if i'm stuck. way too many puzzles seem to boil down to a couple 50/50 decisions and i don't have the patience to screenshot where i'm at, try a path, and then reset to that point if i made the wrong choice

>>716230126
it's the same price in first world countries

>>716234725
holy kek

>>716234608
He knows the ins and outs of the ruleset more than anyone. He should have realized it would be faster for him.

>>716222154 (OP)
I was stuck on one for an hour and then I remembered the fucking zone rule. Then I beat the next few very quickly.

just fuck my shit up senpai

>boards increase to 15x15
PAIN

I like the early part of the puzzles where you can deduce which bombs have to be connected to which cats but after that I just get lost and I feel like I just draw shapes with walls randomly to separate the blue objective markers. I feel like I'm missing some sort of mathematical process to determine which variation of walls is correct without just trial-and-erroring the process.

>>716240898
Forgot my pic.

>>716240898
same, especially the puzzles where that entirely center around zoning the the gems often feel like they require some sort of "leap of faith" guess. even when that works out, it's not very satisfying.

later on there are a bunch of puzzles like >>716239893 where there's just a bunch of bombs and monsters and it doesn't feel like there's a straightforward way to deduce even the first move

>>716241190
one of the few "tricks" the game has taught me applies to row 4 here. there is only one wall on that row, and you know it has to be between the 2 bomb and the monster, so you can X out the squares on the right of that row between the two monsters. i don't think that really cracks the puzzle open on this one, but it's really helpful on the puzzles where there is an entire line of monsters

>>716241190
You have all the info you need for row 2

>>716240898
>>716241190
If a blue thing is connected to any path with a bomb or enemy, that entire path also has to be separated from other blue things.

>>716239893
>>716241237
There are no leaps of faith required, that's the whole point of the game. Look at the 9th column.

I have absolutely no interest in this game but I'm happy for matthew that it seems to be doing pretty well

>>716241738
i get that's the stated purpose but i'm too much of a brainlet to think enough steps ahead, maybe if there was better note taking functionality in game.

i see the 9th column and know that at least one of the bombs in that column will need to go vertical but idk which

>get halfway through puzzle, think it's going well
>do the solution check

>delete my solution, never open the puzzle again
anyone else?

>>716233426
>I wonder how Matt feels about sales/discounts.
He talked about that in his last stream.

>>716242561
Figure out where the 1 wall cannot go, so those spots should be Xs.

>>716222154 (OP)
LOOK GUIZE! I MADE A VIDEO GAME!

It'll be 5 bucks, please.

>>716243192
Matthew is /v/ culture, based and redpilled. Suck it, newfag.

>>716242943
seems like it could go in any of those spots

>>716243417
Test if the wall goes in one of the squares, how does it impact the rest of the column?

>>716233426
i actually wonder how he feels that you can buy the game, nab the rom and refund it. I guess he doesn't care but it feels weird for someone like him to leave himself open for such things.
>>716234725
Ah c'mon it's funny.

>>716243704
Ah I see, it has to go between the monsters in that column or it fucks everything up, thanks m8

>>716243724
i really doubt he cares about people refunding, i think he's self aware enough to know that 99% of people buying this game are his fans who care more about supporting him than about the game. the couple misers who don't want to pay $5 aren't worth worrying about

what did he mean by this?

Humiliation ritual.

>>716233048
our lord and saviour matthewmatosis
blessed be his name

>>716244404
To not be misunderstood, i don't mean refunding itself, i mean refunding and still keeping the game. That's pretty much legal piracy. But yeah, i do hope this actually incentivizes him to work on bettlejuice/mushido/whatever

>>716244525
>not the logical solution
Matthew says trans rights!

>>716243724
I seriously doubt he cares about that at all

>>716242776
What did he say?
>>716243724
You can do that with any steam game thoughbeit, even if they have steamworks you can easily bypass it with Goldberg or SteamEmu or any other number of emulators. But it's easier to just pirate a game instead of buying it and refunding it.

>>716243119
I mean, I'd probably pay $5 for Dragonsweeper with a couple more variants and playable on my phone.

>just realized why there's so much extra space around the puzzles

torrent?

>>716247042
check the archive, there's at least one working link

>>716245273
I’d pay for Lab Sweeper.

bump

Thoughts? I'm stumped. I can just start guessing but I don't really want to.

>>716251358
Make sure its one contiguous zone.

Day 3 progress check? I'm having a good time

>>716251358
You’ve solved column 6.

>>716251358
column 4 is solvable, there's an obvious X spot open that will let you wall the rest

>>716253248
>>716253008
Oh yeah. Man after I look at the puzzles for too long my smooth brain just turns to mush.

>>716252359
got to the point where i had like six open puzzles and got a bit liberal with cheating just so i could see the rest. at this point if i get wall'd after 10 minutes i'll just cheat, care more about seeing the end than finishing "clean"

>>716248506
Harder to find than you'd think.
Too old for me.

>>716252359
>>716253478
how many hours?

You could play Logic Bombs with a pencil and the puzzle printed on a paper so it's not a true video game. The interactive elements aren't needed for the game to work.

>>716252359
I think there's a pretty noticeable gap in difficulty around row 8. The usual tricks don't seem to work anymore. Maybe there's something I'm not getting.

Also I got pretty curious about the later levels so I checked. I wish there was a way to reset the level icon though. It's kinda triggering me.

>>716254519

>Also I got pretty curious about the later levels so I checked. I wish there was a way to reset the level icon though. It's kinda triggering me.
I mentioned that on the Steam forums but didn't get a response from him. It doesn't sound like that'll change.

>>716254519
My biggest complaint is that pencil and paper are actually more useful since you can use additional symbols.

>>716254270
18 hours for >>716253478

40 hours

>>716245503
uhhhhh why?

>>716259337
the dial goes up to 15

yeah, not gonna do that

Am I not understanding the separation rule correctly, do the bombs block off cats from objectives? I first tried to solve this by making a space where the red lines are. Matthew said in the vid that the puzzles only have one solution so I suppose I must not be getting it.

>>716244932
>What did he say?
https://www.youtube.com/live/b1kGmYpxbsw?si=rIX4T-TK0lCyacis&t=7282

>>716260467
The reason that doesn't work is because it creates zones in the corners.

>>716260467
No, bombs don’t block off zones. If you use either of the blue lines, you’re blocking off a zone diagonally.

>>716254519
You could also shoot your opponent in real life instead of playing any multiplayer FPS games.

>>716260856
You wouldn't be playing by the same rules though.

>>716260984
>shoot enemy
sounds like the same rules to me.

>>716260756
>>716260763
OH you can't make empty zones, I see.

>>716261053
>shoot enemy
Not a rule.

I'm stuck in the tutorial.

>>716261276
It is for winners.

6 hours in and only 29 completed

>>716262361
>didn't figure out how to abuse the hint system

>>716262540
I did that a few times but it does feel like cheating lmao.

>>716260525
Unfathomably based.
Games should be sold for what they're worth, not overpriced for the rich and then discounted for the poors. I understand the game dropping in price after like 5 or 10 years when competition/alternatives appear, but I don't support discounts/sales.

I don't understand how you're supposed to know the first move without guessing. Matt must have a 1000 IQ and see multiple moves in advance. I've beaten the level without cheating but it wasn't pure logic like intended.

>>716264513
Only sigma males will get it, but the puzzle after this spoils the technique: MATH

>>716264649
I'm officially filtered, I give up here. I'm not doing math for fun.

>>716264767
sum of columns = sum of rows
so you can figure out that the ? > 0
and that it forces a wall in the column which forces the bombs to so sideways
same technique for the previous one
Just wait until you have to start solving simultaneous equations

>>716264767
It's not as bad as it looks. You only need to calculate 39-39

>>716265007
Wait I fucked that up, I was thinking of the first puzzle. but you get the idea.

what's wrong with this one

>>716266526
only 1 diamond per zone is allowed (no more, no less)

>>716266526
blue balls are touching

>>716266526
Blues aren’t separated and you’ve got an empty zone in the bottom left.

>>716244747
He actually doesn't
I remember one stream where a troon kept spamming it and begging him to say "trans rights'
All he had to say was "Must be a full moon out tonight"

>>716267815
kek

>>716267815
I think he'd have a similar reaction no matter what they were trying to get him to say but it's based regardless.

>>716267815
>I remember one stream where a troon kept spamming it and begging him to say "trans rights'
>All he had to say was "Must be a full moon out tonight"
I don't get it

>>716268447
Some old saying about crazy people coming out on full moons, I believe it's also the origin of werewolf myths.

>>716268447
werewolves were the original trans

>>716268447
nothing really trans specific or even directed at that person, basically just saying "chat is being nutty today", which is the appropriate response to some random person asking to repeat a political slogan

logic bump

>>716262361
i went to count and I have the exact same amount complete and the same playtime as you

Anybody actually played this on a game boy? Or is that just a novelty thing and this game is better played on a pc because it’s too difficult or something?

>>716262361
Same, 31 at 6 hours in (without using the hint system). I'm enjoying it but I don't see myself getting much further, I'm too much of a brainlet for these kinds of games.
