Very impressive, especially in such a short development time! The plus symbol is very tough for such an early mechanic, though; even after finishing the game I still don't really understand it. I think it would be worth thinking about how The Witness lets the player easily refer back to previous solved puzzles as a learning aid; perhaps the puzzles could actually be seen and solved in the overworld, in a similar way to Taiji?
Thank you, this is very useful feedback! You're right, there's a clear difficulty curve with the plus puzzles. I can probably make it easier by re-arranging that section so that you can easily come back to previously solved puzzles. I'll keep that in mind for future versions :-)
