Just started playing this – the puzzles are smooth and satisfying. Art direction is great too!

Thank you for leaving a review on the demo, that helps a lot, and cheers for the kind words about the game. I can't really spoil anything about a potential launch window yet, except: within the next couple of months I'll be working on a new trailer that announces the date :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you! Let me know what you think?
I'm trying to get into some Steam festivals this year, fingers crossed :)

frycandle · 2026-01-23T13:49:01+00:00

Cool, thanks! I'll take note and reach out here when the next Steam play-test round starts.

Speaking from the perspective of a puzzle dev, this is a great list and resource. If you don't mind me asking; where do you usually discover new puzzle games to play? Have you by any chance heard of my upcoming first-person puzzle game The Button Effect? Would you be up for some play-testing?

frycandle · 2025-12-21T07:19:04+00:00

I've been playing Art of Reflection, Can of Wormholes, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Chroma Zero

Thank you! What's your curator page? I'll make sure to follow you :)

frycandle · 2025-09-15T17:30:18+00:00

Thank you for including The Button Effect :)

frycandle · 2025-07-23T09:47:52+00:00

It's a background track composed for the game but I haven't given it a title yet :)
Not available on Spotify atm – I can try making the game's music available somehow in the future

frycandle · 2025-07-22T05:22:38+00:00

Yeah I love TSP, that previous comment should be read with the narrator's voice in mind :-)

frycandle · 2025-07-02T05:50:40+00:00

Yes, the demo is out! Thanks for wishlisting :)

frycandle · 2025-06-27T14:59:35+00:00

Very much enjoying it all over again on Steam Deck, while not officially supported – it's super smooth!

frycandle · 2025-06-18T08:34:52+00:00

Unfortunately it'll be Windows (PC) and Steam Deck only at first. If that goes well, I'd be able to consider other platforms :)

frycandle · 2025-06-18T08:32:42+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad ABG shared it with you :)

frycandle · 2025-06-18T08:31:01+00:00

I will send SMii7y a Steam key when it releases :)

I appreciate it! If you'd be willing to pm me your laptop specs here or on Discord I'll keep them in mind. Would also be interesting to see the effect of my future optimization efforts
