  I play a lot of puzzlers, indies, and platformers. Linelight is one of the most dazzling and fun games I've ever played. This game made me feel emotions for those little colored lines. The piano music in the game is fascinating too.

  So many puzzle games fall victim to so many of the problems listed in this talk. Thank you for pointing out the limits of human cognition. Also, water is the best!

  For those who don&apos;t know, a ten second break like what he does in this video will help you rest AND remember his lesson.<br><br>Spacing is a technique to learn anything faster. While studying or consuming content, giving yourself a ten second break where you focus your mind on something else will give your mind time to quickly reinforce the knowledge so you can better store it in long term memory.<br><br>A break, a joke, a transition, a restatement as a metaphor... there are many ways to add these breaks in naturally or do them yourself while studying (like looking away from a video and scrolling the comments).<br><br>Some people do this naturally every couple minutes, and most of everyone else struggles to remember things.

  Thanks for the tips, and thanks for giving hope! How a mortal human could have created the puzzles of a game like Baba Is You was mystifying. I guess the ingenuity was in creating the mechanics that then &quot;thought&quot; up the puzzles.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B36_OL1ZXVM&amp;t=1418">23:38</a> &quot;Knowing the solution and not being able to execute it&quot; that&apos;s got to be the worse feeling in a puzzle game, that&apos;s basically what made me quit Angry birds back in the days. I would know how I&apos;m supposed to be doing it, but with the bad mobile controls, I would miss like 1 of the 3 birds that I absolutely need to land then have to start over. It&apos;s the opposite of fun, like I know what I&apos;m supposed to do, I just can&apos;t do it.
