Pure bliss playing Chants of Sennaar last night.
Highly recommended if you liked Return of the Obra Dinn. Even more so if you like language, etymology, and history.
This game might be made exclusively for me?
In short, it’s a puzzle game where you translate glyphs using context and multiple sources.
Is there a #puzzledon? or… a hashtag for when we finish a #puzzle? This certainly wasn’t the most challenging, but it was fun, and feels like a symbol for my allowing myself time to play.
I think I’d enjoy people, announcing the completion of a puzzle!
September 25, 2023 - Day 268 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 288
Game: Planet Alpha
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Sep 15, 2018
Installation Date: Oct 14, 2019
Unplayed: 1442d (3y11m11d)
Playtime: 22m
Planet Alpha is a 2.5D sci-fi platform puzzle game with stealth gameplay mechanics.
You are a tall, slender astronaut in a fishbowl helmet, who awakens on an alien planet, and sets off on a left-to-right journey of survival.
The game initially opens at the resolution of your main monitor... on your leftmost monitor.
Since my main monitor is an ultrawide, and my leftmost monitor is a FHD monitor that's up and to the left, this is... irritating. Only made worse by the fact that the game doesn't allow you to specify which monitor to start on.
Oh well. WIN+Shift+Right Arrow, and it's on the main monitor. And away we go and... crash.
For the third time this month, I spend more time troubleshooting a game than playing it. This turns out to be the same issue as Rock of Ages 2. Using a version of Unreal 4 that has a buggy version of OpenSSL that triggers a crash on >10th Gen Intel CPUs. Add a start-up command, and finally we're off.
First off, this is a gorgeous looking game. The alien environment is truly alien, and lighting is used to great effect.
It is completely wordless. There is no explanation as to why you're there, or what your goal is. No obvious backstory.
At first there's a lot of climbing and jumping, and getting timing right.
Then you're introduced to the fact that you apparently have the ability to control day and night, and move the environment backwards and forwards through the day-night cycle at will...ish. When the game lets you, for specific puzzles.
Dev forbid you should use the ability for the stealth puzzles.
Ah, stealth mechanics. The gameplay mechanic I love to hate.
There are particular contexts in which I'm OK with it. This is not one of those contexts.
A few minutes after encountering the day-night magical power, you find yourself in a room that makes the whole game even more confusing. I'm not sure what it was trying to communicate, but the angry robots who smashed through the walls and started hunting you certainly seemed unhappy about it.
How do you avoid them? Stealth mechanic. Does it work? Sometimes. The game's 2.5D environment means I'm never quite sure whether they can see me or not, until they shoot me and I die. Several times.
This is one of those games where I *don't* like the stealth mechanic. There are also no save points, just "chapters", but no clear indication as to where chapters start and finish.
In the end, while the game is SO very pretty, there's just nothing to motivate me to keep pushing right on the controller.
Planet Alpha is pretty:

I just designed a set of blocks for #3DPrinting "Skyscrapers" / "Towers" puzzles. (Thanks @simontatham for the online version!) They are a little bit like sudoku, wth a tangible third dimension to the reasoning.
Models are available for download with printing instructions at Cults3D, Printables, and GitLab.
Puzzle grids are available to download from Julia Robinson Math Festival and Mark Chubb. Feel free to share other sources of grids in the comments!
I have provided the parametric #FreeCAD model that lets you modify the blocks. Want to make a small set with magnets in the bottom for travel? Want to make a giant set to use at the front of a classroom? Want to make a giant set with huge magnets to use on a magnetic white board at the front of a classroom? Change the parameters, maybe edit the shape of the BottomBody part to accommodate holding a magnet, and you are set! Need help? Ask in the comments.
Try to mentally rearrange the slices of a word so you can identify it.

Can you solve today’s Daily DINGBATS puzzle? Check back tomorrow for the answer!
In 1980, cartoonist Paul Sellers created DINGBATS as a newspaper feature that continues today. Since then, millions of board games, travel games and books have been sold, called DINGBATS®, WHATZIT?™ in North America, KATCH-ITS™ in Australia, ¿QUE ES?™ in Spain, WAS IS’ ES?™ in Germany.
Yesterday’s answer was… “INDECENT PROPOSAL”.
Finished my latest jigsaw puzzle. Jigsaws tend to take on a life of their own, and seemingly develop their own character. This one was, understandably, very 'bitsy', a series of isolated connected pieces that never really felt like a whole puzzle until the final piece was placed - after locating it on the floor where it had been hiding for sometime. Ain't that always the way. A strangely unsatisfying puzzle. At least it one New Zealand bank note in it though.

On veut calculer :
√%. (Racine carrée de %)
Puisque x% veut dire x fois 1/100, on peut considérer que % = 1% = 1/100.
A partir de là,
√% = √(1/100) = √1/√100 = 1/10 = 0,1 = 10%
Donc :
√% = √(1%) = 10%,
C'est joli et étonnant, non ?
Maintenant, est-ce que cette démonstration est correcte ou incorrecte ❓

Game: The Entropy Centre

The Entropy Centre is a first-person puzzle game. It answers the question "What if the Portal gun controlled time instead of space, in a lab environment built by the architects of the Oldest House?" This is a game that capital-L Loves the brutalist architecture of Control.
This is not -technically- unplayed. I played the demo before it was released, then almost immediately purchased it, and forgot I'd purchased it.
That's not a bad thing; The Entropy Centre appears to have received a number of updates since it was released, so much so that it felt like I was playing it for the first time.
You ("Aria") wake up in a remote and overgrown and deserted lab, with no idea how you got there, or even *where* you are.
Upon starting your exploration of the facility, you encounter a gun that can rewind time, within a specific set of circumstances.
Given the sheer weathered and damaged state of the lab, this provides an in-game explanation for why it can only rewind some things, and not others.
Much like Portal, you have to make your way through test labs, and move boxes around to open doors.
Also much like Portal, there's an AI assisting you, but instead of being a disembodied voice, the AI ("Astra") AI is embodied in the gun itself.
Unlike Portal, though, you have to think in four dimensions, and frequently need to think through the solution, then reverse engineer it to work in reverse-time as well as in space.
As someone who enjoyed Portal and the many variations on the theme (Q.U.B.E. 2, Relicta), I also am enjoying this game.
It's just unfortunate for The Entropy Centre that my kids gave me Starfield for Dad's day, otherwise I'd be throwing the cubes around for the rest of the day because The Entropy Centre is:
5: Excellent

Game: Candle

Candle is a 2D adventure puzzle-platformer. The graphics are beautiful; the lush backgrounds and characters seemingly hand-painted.
You play as Teku, on a quest to save a tribe member from another tribe that has captured them, armed with the titular candle.
The illumination & lighting in the game is gorgeous.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
When I load the game, it opens at a resolution of 1280x720, a full screen jagged square in the middle of my widescreen monitor. I set the resolution to 2560x1440. I turn off fullscreen. The window jumps off the screen. I kill the game, restart it. It starts at 1280x720. There is no way to save the resolution. This is foreshadowing.
The game opens with a cinematic, the narrator setting the stage for the world in which Teku lives.
A narrative technique attributed to Chekov (Anton, of the famed "gun", rather than Pavel, of the USS Enterprise), is "Show, don't tell". The devs seemingly disagree.
The narrator's tale continues...
...and continues...
...is he STILL going?
He is still going.
He does eventually stop talking, but he will be back to over-explain everything after I complete the first level.
My eyes come to rest upon Teku, becoming conscious in the middle of his burning village.
Teku stands. I move the control stick left. Teku walks. Slowly.
The game encourages me to press the left trigger to get Teku to run. Teku moves noticeably faster than Teku's walk, but to describe this as "running" is stretches the definition of run to near-breaking.
Teku reaches a ledge. "Press X to climb". I press X. Teku does not climb. Repeat. Same result.
I nudge the control stick. Teku moves a couple of pixels. I press X. Teku climbs.
I press on.
I am faced with an icon of a cube. Text appears onscreen.
Not to tell me what the cube means, but to tell me to open the menu to read the instructions to tell me what the cube means.
Show, don't tell.
I start encountering puzzles. The few clues available are frequently inscrutable.
Don't show, don't tell.
Several of puzzles require quick movement & precise timing.
Teku is neither.
Death comes frequently, & frustratingly. A tunnel that I have just exited, and can re-enter, becomes inexplicably inaccessible during a puzzle, with no indication of this.
I solve the puzzle. I start to climb. I reach a ledge. I am immediately killed.
I try again, repeatedly.
I die again, repeatedly.
Tired and frustrated, I quit to the desktop.
I really wanted to like Candle; it is gorgeous, but it feels like all of the love & care was given to the visuals, with little left over for things like UX, controls, or gameplay.
Sadly, Candle has been snuffed out with a disappointing:
2: Meh

The house chameleons are happy we've finally finished this #jigsawpuzzle after most of the month of August (here and there).
This was one where the top was pretty important because of the intricate (and impossible to guess because it's so whimsical) design.
Now we either have to choose a previous #jigsaw #puzzle to do again or go give business to the toy store that relocated within walking distance....

Game: Desktop Dungeons: Rewind
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Apr 19, 2023
Library Date: Apr 19, 2023
Unplayed: 126d (4m4d)
Playtime: 23m
Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition in 3D.
Literally.
Gone are the pixel-art bitmaps, replaced by glorious detailed 3D artwork.
The gameplay is (at least at this point) identical.
Like, last night I played through the first map multiple times before I understood it and beat it.
Tonight, exactly the same map, with the same mobs, and the same drops, but all in 3D.
So: Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is an isometric 3D roguelike dungeon crawler puzzle game.
Where last night it was a great example of a game where the gameplay overcomes my dislike of pixel-art games, now the fun gameplay is also pretty.
Still a pretty standard dungeon crawler. Explore the dungeon, attack mobs.
However, each square you uncover goes towards refilling your health and mana. You need to explore the fog of war to find mobs, but if you clear the fog of war and then try and kill the mobs, you're gonna have a bad time.
I cleared the first level with exactly the same strategy I used last night, still hooked. The only reason I didn't keep playing was that it ran into my actual work shift.
Between dungeons there's some resource management and basic city-building going on, but the game is designed to be played in short chunks. No change, just prettier city-building, in 3D!
In a shocking and surprising turn of events, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is:
4: Good

Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition is an updated version of Desktop Dungeons (Nov 7, 2013). I'm not exactly sure what makes it "Enhanced", but it was given away free earlier in the year, and if you owned this, you got the sequel "Desktop Dungeons: Rewind" for free, which seemed like a deal that was too good to be true.
Desktop Dungeons is a top-down bitmap pixel-art roguelike dungeon crawler puzzle game.
It's also a great example of a game where the gameplay overcomes my dislike of pixel-art games.
In one sense, it's a pretty standard dungeon crawler. Explore the dungeon, attack mobs.
However, each square you uncover goes towards refilling your health and mana. You need to explore the fog of war to find mobs, but if you clear the fog of war and then try and kill the mobs, you're gonna have a bad time.
It took me a few goes to get through the first level, but by the time I did, I was hooked.
Between dungeons there's some resource management and basic city-building going on, but the game is designed to be played in short chunks.
Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition is:

Given today's exhaustion levels, I wanted something simple to play, and it just so happened that I got an email that Glass Masquerade was on special, as it's been on my wishlist for some time.
Glass Masquerade is a gorgeous stained-glass puzzle game, in which you're presented with a shape that you need to fill in with a series of random pieces arrayed around the outside of the play area, on two concentric "trays", with very much of a jigsaw puzzle vibe (without being a jigsaw).
The only downside is that it can be frustratingly fiddly to rotate the trays to find the piece you want.
It's beautiful, with a chilled soundtrack, and a great way to just kick back and relax when that's what I need.
Glass Masquerade is:

Save Room is a military-themed organisational puzzle game.
It's pretty simple. You have a case. You have X amount of space in the case. You have guns, and ammo. Make everything fit, with nothing left over.
Later on you get extra bits and pieces. You have a health meter, and sometimes you have things that add and take away from health, and you might have to take away from your health with an item and then replenish your health with a booster, thus using up both items.
There's actually not a lot to say here. It's a fun little puzzle game, and not a bad way to chill out and kill some time.
Save Room is:
