Playing "Manifold Garden" (https://manifold.garden/) and I can see that it's going to be one of Those Kinds of Game™.

Finished the first (blue) area. Saw a pretty cube. Went "awesome". Walked through the open door. Walked through a building and out the other side to a place with lots of long pillar worlds. Spent the next 15 minutes COMPLETELY LOST because every one I hit was covered in black goo and had no doors, no cubes, only a receptacle for a cube.

Read some posts from other confused gamers and EVENTUALLY find out that that's the hub world and I'm missing something called a "god cube". I've been aimlessly wandering around an area that I've not unlocked yet, not knowing how to unlock the next area. Or even knowing where it is.

So I've got to switch back to the "right" gravity (which, yeah, I noticed that the colours changed, but I didn't connect "blue way up" with "completed blue world"), go back through that building, and PICK UP that cube and put it in the receptacle in the hub area. I've basically been seeing the finish zones for each area and not knowing what to do

Still, the puzzles are clever and the world flipping is fun. Nothing too terribly difficult yet. But I can see that it's going to be like Talos Principle and Witness and Taiji where you can readily miss something and get to "WTF is this and where am I going?" with no apparent environmental clues about what's wrong.

If you like puzzle games and have almost none of these great games, grab this bundle!

Having only three of the seven games, I took it without hesitation

Obviously the #NintendoSwitch is not a very powerful console, but I was disappointed when I recently played #ManifoldGarden on the #Switch and the draw distance was very, very short. The draw distance was a lot better when I previously played the #iPad version. You really need far draw distance in a game like that (if you've played it, you know why).

I only played in handheld mode, maybe it's better in docked mode.

If you like #Puzzle #Games, I highly recommend you check out #ManifoldGarden. It is a technically impressive game engine with some mind-bending, impossible geometry. The puzzles aren't too difficult but you do have to learn the game's logic and think outside of the box. The music is beautiful and adds to atmosphere.

I played through on #AppleArcade last year and am currently replaying on the #NintendoSwitch and enjoying it just as much.

What a year ey? Good stuff.
Top artist came as a bit of a surprise. Love your work Laryssa! (Can recommend the Manifold Garden soundtrack to calm the anxiety)

Manifold Garden

I guess following gamedev twitter can backfire sometimes. For the entire latter half of Manifold Garden, where basically no new mechanics or twists are introduced, I kept waiting for something like this due to having seen this tweet back in the day. I guess it was scrapped.
