@TheThirdKate In fact if people could just stop using Microsoft and Adobe proprietary formats in general that would be ideal.

[Dom Camus @fastramdesign]

@Demruth That's the real trick, isn't it? Very rare for that to happen IME. Good luck!

[Thinky Games @thinky_games]

The fourth Thinky Puzzle Game Jam will be happening on June 28th-July 5th this year, organised as always by our friend @fastramdesign!

I don't normally post puzzle game links until I'm done with the game, but this is a tough one so I might be on it for a month! It's also quite brilliant.

I don't know where the idea for this came from, but it's genius! (Helps if you know Unity a bit...)

A Cruel Engine's Thesis

[Dom Camus @fastramdesign]

Interesting rendering problem I hadn't run into before. The line at the top is drawn by the same shader as the one at the bottom, but with bloom added. It ruins the anti-aliasing! Not sure what to do about that...

[Dom Camus @fastramdesign]

Is this the most ambitious puzzle game ever made? :-O

[Elyot Grant @lunarchstudios]

@OjamajoShirami Your success is due to your own excellent work! I nominated and have voted for Magicube as game of the year in the Think Awards (https://t.co/gNkwXxxdl2).

[Dom Camus @fastramdesign]

@MurrayH83 Thought experiment: Given that any could be the answer for different reasons, play it in pairs as a game. Without discussion, pick the same "odd one out" as your partner to win. Best strategy will depend on a variety of factors extrinsic to the image.

[Dom Camus @fastramdesign]

@sftrabbit @thinky_games Ah, that's awesome! Well done! \o/
