Brain Melters?

What game puzzles made you feel smrt for beating them?

Or what puzzle made you feel really not-smrt when you beat it?

I recently managed to play all of The Case of the Golden Idol and its DLC without using a single hint and I felt very clever after (if you like logic puzzles, highly recommend).

The Black Watchmen makes me feel very not smrt every-time I beat a puzzle. Esp. since it took me and my bf two hours to beat one of the easier ones because we'd overlooked something really obvious in hindsight.

Ngl, I'm kind of done with all types of environmental puzzles in games.

Maybe I've been playing too many games who have them, but man, I'm so tired of them. To be fair, I never really loved puzzle-heavy games, even at the best of times. Puzzles are ok when they are simple and are not found on every corner or only tied to extra content.

I'm kind of tired of pushing blocks in place, so I can jump on them, or shooting the thingy to activate something else to unlock a path to another path.

I rather have combat challenges, interesting bosses or more quests with exploration and a cool story.

Striking New York Times tech workers have created a “Guild Builds” page dedicated to strike-themed games you can play, including a spin on Wordle, a word search, and the custom Connections I reported on earlier today. As part of its strike announcement on Monday, the New York Times Tech Guild requested that people don’t cross the digital picket line to play the NYT’s daily puzzle games. This collection of five other games offers an alternative if you want to support the striking workers but also do some brain teasers.

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 :)

Wishlist on steam or visit the website to find out more mightymarbles.com

Not to be self congratulatory but a classmate was doing a study for one of his game design classes and asked if I’d be one of his participants. I like him so I said yes and he had me do a questionnaire and then set me up in front of Street Fighter.

He had me with set parameters and told me to just fight it out so I did. I watched his eyebrows go up when I finished but he couldn’t comment until the end.

He asked if I played Street Fighter regularly and I said no. I told him I played stuff like Bloody Roar, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat and Smash Bros growing up socially, but it’s never been my genre.

He asked if I would be more interested to play Street Fighter after this test and I said no.

He started quietly laughing when I finished all the questions and I said, “What? Did I do poorly?”

“No. You finished the fastest out of anyone I’ve tested. You’re also the oldest and have the least interest in this genre of game, it’s just really funny.”

I told him my best friend growing up had consoles but I didn’t. He got to play and practice regularly so he tended to be better than me as a baseline. But. If I won he’d get so furious that he’d turn the console off and we could do what I wanted instead, so I developed an aggressive button mashing technique that has served me well.

I've discovered that I can solve logic puzzles like nonograms and word searches not only faster, but with a demonstrably lower error rate as well, by putting video game boss music on in the background, which I'm pretty sure proves human cognition is bullshit.
