  • Leap Year Full Game - an incredible game about discovery, I highly recommend any serious puzzle fan play this. Everything is a spoiler, because the a-ha moments are beautifully crafted and the level design is second to none. Leap Year is a game I'll think about for a long time.

      Also the first few Prince of Persia games. In the original game, IIRC, you specifically had to _walk_ through the spikes (using shift), not run through them. In the second, the spike traps were in walls, but you could still walk carefully up to the wall to trigger them, then climb up.

    I really feel like shorter puzzle games are able to do pacing exceptionally well in how you learn them. It's way easier to introduce a concept and let the player experiment with it for that "A-ha!", with far less bloat of solving a puzzle with the exact same concept over and over again. This game really does a good job of quickly showing off new ideas of the core mechanic and giving the right level design for experimentation, without you feeling like you have to fumble and learn stuff by trial and error.

  • @Qeisama
    @Qeisama 2 дні тому +79

    Hey Tyler, did you know that Terra Nil got a major update recently? They reworked the animal section and added 5 new areas, one for each continent. (The first continent got 2) 2 more biomes were added as well.
    Unfortunately, it also resets the progress for the animal sections of each area too, so you essentially have to redo every level to get 100% now. If you want to check it out, I’d recommend doing a video on the Scorched Caldera level in the island continent. It’s been the most interesting so far.
