I don't like this one ;-;
The worst part about trying to make a puzzle game is having to make the puzzles make sense to people other than myself, and unfortunately I am very autistic and also quite stupid
Morning puzzles at the breakfast table ☕️🥞
I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.
I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)

Not kidding about Intelligent Qube being the most intimidating puzzle game. o_o If you lose your little guy falls screaming into the void. o_o
Just finished all three editions of monument Valley.

The Puzzle of Trust
The coffee table was covered in puzzle pieces, scattered like fallen leaves. Beth sat cross-legged on the floor, flipping a corner piece in her hand. She always started with the edges—it was the easiest part. The straight lines gave structure, a foundation to build on. The border didn’t need much thought; it was familiar territory, like the shared memories, conversations, and goals that had once connected her with Adam.
“Here’s the edge,” she whispered, fitting a piece snugly into place. “The easy stuff.”
They had been together for five years, and the edges of their relationship had always made sense. They both wanted stability. They both enjoyed hiking on weekends. They both loved Italian food and had dreams of traveling to Europe one day. Those edges had fit so easily at first.
But then came the middle. Beth stared at the pile of jagged shapes before her—pieces in shades of green and blue, blending too closely to tell them apart. It reminded her of where she and Adam stood now: lost in a sea of confusion, trying to rebuild something they had broken.
She picked up the puzzle box and stared at the image on it: a serene forest, a waterfall cascading into a quiet pool. She knew that without this picture, she’d never make it through the mess of green foliage and blue water. Each piece had to align with the image on the box, or it simply wouldn’t fit.
Rebuilding trust, Beth thought, was the same. You needed to know the bigger picture—what the relationship was supposed to look like in the end. Without that, you were just grabbing pieces, hoping they might fit by accident.
She thought about Adam’s apology. He’d said all the right things. He promised to change, to do better, to rebuild what they’d lost. But Beth knew that wasn’t enough. If his words and actions didn’t align with their shared vision, they’d be forcing pieces together that didn’t belong. And she didn’t want to end up with a puzzle that didn’t match the picture they’d both thought they were building.
Beth sighed, picking up two similar-looking pieces. They seemed like they should fit, but they didn’t. She tried to force them, twisting and pressing, but the edges refused to align. Frustrated, she tossed them aside.
This, she realized, was the hardest part—deciding whether the puzzle was worth finishing or if some pieces were just too broken or missing to complete it. She remembered a time when she’d spent hours on a different puzzle, only to discover in the end that three crucial pieces were missing. She had stared at the incomplete image, feeling cheated, as if all her time and effort had been wasted. In the end, she had swept the whole thing back into the box and thrown it away.
She glanced at the photo on the box again. What if the picture they were trying to rebuild wasn’t what she wanted anymore? What if she opened the box thinking it was a waterfall, only to find it was a race car all along?
Beth swallowed hard. That thought hit her the hardest. Some relationships were like that—a beautiful picture on the outside, but when you dug deeper, you found something else entirely. Maybe it was still a nice picture, but it wasn’t what you’d wanted or signed up for. And after all the time and energy you put in, walking away felt unbearable.
But sometimes, she reminded herself, walking away was the only way to find the right puzzle—the one where the picture at the end matched what you truly wanted.
Beth picked up another piece. This one had a small streak of blue on it. She placed it beside the waterfall on the border. It clicked into place with a soft, satisfying snap.
If she was going to rebuild trust with Adam, it had to be like this—one piece at a time, aligned with the bigger picture they both wanted. She wasn’t interested in forcing pieces that didn’t fit. And if, at the end, the puzzle wasn’t what she thought it would be, she would have to find the courage to walk away.
For now, though, she would keep building, carefully comparing each piece to the picture on the box. Because the only thing more important than finishing the puzzle was making sure it was the one she truly wanted.
Have you always dreamed of being a cat mom who feeds her little one with bento boxes that you have to put together like a puzzle first? Then you should take a closer look at Inbento from AfterburnGames! Lovely crafted puzzle game with increasing difficulty level.
It's time to introduce Miss Pretty to you. she's a an anime librarian girl, who thinks Wilson is a kind old man(which he's not).

Luna is also have a nice game but not popular too. but who cares?
Just finished OneShot, and holy shit, that was a good game
This was my first RPG Maker puzzle game (Yume Nikki-like?) I’ve played and beaten, and man it was good. The atmosphere of this game was unreal, I spent most of my time in the game either spooked out of my mind or just in awe at how pretty the world is.
…
Also Niko is too dang cute, they deserve all the headpats and good things in the world 😭😭😭
SPOILERS AFTER THE BREAK
The game pulling my name from the computer freaked me out so much. I know it’s not unique to OneShot, hell I’ve played other games that have done that, but it’s a sure fire way to make me creeped out no matter what!
The meta fuckery that The Entity pulled was spooky too, the first time it spoke to me through the alerts genuinely gave me a jump. Also I love how clever the game was in hiding information in ways you needed to leave or manipulate the game in order to find.
I ended up choosing the “Return Home” ending. I felt like Niko deserved to go back home, with how much they love their Mama.
I also felt like The World was already deteriorating and dying; it seemed like returning The Sun would’ve been a band-aid fix, and that it’d still die out. The only difference being that Niko would be trapped there too. Still felt awful to choose.
