Happy holidays! Here’s a kinda messy paper puzzle type to celebrate. It had the odd quality of seeming simple in my head but being quite difficult to explain in writing. I hope it’s still at least somewhat enjoyable.
And here’re some puzzles:

We’re nearing the end of the year, and it’s time for another paper puzzle type! Quite satisfied with this one. In a week or so I’ll be done with my internship, after which I’ll have more time for Computer Things again, which’ll enable me to be more on top of things as well. Or so I hope, at least.

The Switch patch is finally here! Huge apologies for things taking this long, there were some unexpected bumps on the way. The current version has some issues with a couple of the supported languages, and we’ll be running another patch soon to rectify that. Thank you for your support and patience!
Changelog:
Fixed a bug with the map music in the new maps
Added 10 levels to New Adventures
Added 4 levels to Museum
Fixes to the Polish translation
Fixed a bug that could send you to the wrong level
Fixed a crash in the Switch level editor
The game now tracks levels you’ve downloaded and solved! If you delete and download the same level, the game should still show your past completion in the “Featured Levels” & “Play Levels” menus (doesn’t work retroactively, sorry)
Fixed an issue where certain uppercase symbols could break the hand-drawn font
Added several missing translation lines in. Sorry about that!
Renamed certain levels with placeholder names
Reworked the way Revert works; it should now be more optimized and not bug as easily
Levels adjusted:
Written In Stone (was previously impossible, apologies)
Skull Pile (was previously impossible, apologies)
Teamwork Is A Must (was previously impossible, apologies)
New Adventures!

Hi again! As I expected, there were more paper puzzles coming. This one is a bit unusual(?), but I think it works pretty well!

Hi! It’s been almost 6 months since I last posted. I intended to do a general catch-up post a long time ago, but life happened and has since kept happening.
The main thing keeping me busy right now is that I’m doing a psychology internship at a psychosis ward in a hospital. It’s busy and often stressful work, but also very intriguing and often rewarding! I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly, but it has done a number on my ability to stay up to date with videogame & blog stuff. So there. But it’ll end at the end of this year, after which I’ll return to usual(?) business.
Since now is not the end of the year, I’ll refrain from trying to force myself to write a longer post, and instead retreat to posting about this new paper puzzle type I came up with (there might be some others coming, too):
Corner meeting! It’s a pretty simple concept; I have spent some time pondering puzzle types that are built around turns/corners in lines (I think?), and this was the outcome of those ponderings.

Would you look at that, here we go again! Jack Lance from the puzzle game Discord server had pointed out that the Shared field puzzle type could be more interesting if the fields couldn’t contain other letters than the ones designated for them. I didn’t initially like this idea too much, but I guess it stuck in my mind because I later came up with the concept of adding diagonal lines to the mix to allow for more varied field shapes (probably inspiration came from Portponky‘s Subway puzzle type!)
The format isn’t maybe visually my favourite, but people have commented on it positively and I’m very happy about that!

I was pondering how to improve Alike, the puzzle type I invented earlier, and got a really great suggestion for a rule addition from
Martin “Menderbug” Ender. Thanks a lot for that! I think this variant is in some ways much more interesting!
(Updated, thanks to Menderbug for the fix!)
Aaand here’s another Alike with the original ruleset:

Welp, it’s a new paper puzzle type! I think the idea works somewhat well but I’m maybe not quite as excited about this one than some of the previous types, mainly because the concept could maybe benefit from a bit of refining. Anyway, here’re the puzzles:

More paper puzzles! More!!!
I was really tired today and doodled some ideas in my notebook, and this came from that. Quite happy with it!

Welp, I guess I’m in paper puzzle mode again. I was doodling with another idea and stumbled into this. It feels quite difficult, but maybe in a good way? Some inspiration came from the Bonsai puzzle genre developed by a fellow puzzle developer Le Slo.
And the puzzles:
