Great! I followed the elphyl account, so I will definitely stay tuned!
[Spoiler follows]
The puzzle I was referring to was Puzzle 25: if that one doesn't strike you as notably different from all the other puzzles in this game, then there's probably an unintended second solution. I'm trying to spoil as little as possible in these comments out of respect for the game and its players, but I'm also happy to describe that solution if it was indeed unintended and the spoiler doesn't bother you.
Funnily enough, that level came about because a playtester found an alternate solution to a different level, and I found it interesting so made it it's own puzzle! Do you reckon it's trickier than the last level in that section, and if so should we swap those two round...?
The intended solution involves covering something important and then revealing it later (being cryptic to avoid spoilers!)
Ok! I finally, finally figured out the solution that I assume was intended. And actually, once I figured out that one, there's another solution that works in very much the same way, but with a different final configuration. I had sniffed around those approaches when I was trying to figure it out initially (with the covering of something important), but there were just a few subtle pushes I missed that made the difference. Nice!
But those two solutions are distinct from the one I used the first time around. I get the feeling from your note that you haven't yet seen the way I solved it. Now that I see the intended solutions, you could eliminate my solution without ruining this puzzle (though doing so might guide the player just a bit more toward the intended solutions). As you were comfortable with the hint you gave me, my solution also involves the covering/uncovering of something important.
Whether 25 or 27 seems harder probably depends on what you think of my solution, and I won't spoil more than that until you give me the word. Perhaps you'll want to keep it in! After all, even as the puzzle is now, I think I spent the most time in this game on either 25 or 35.
I don't think I know your solution, and I might need another hint -- it's so hard to see alternatives when all you can think of is the one you designed...! What would you change to make your solution impossible?
The intended solution is figuring out how to move up, does your solution also involve that part?
Wow, that's really stumped me -- and we're definitely still talking about Puzzle 25?!
Under six moves means you must not be using buttons, which I didn't think was possible -- and the first move is forced, so then it's just five more moves... you might have to give me another hint here (or even show me if I can't figure it out!)
