Twisty Puzzle Simulator OT: piece by piece

Legend · Oct 23, 2018, 03:57 PM

Hello!

I'm Mike Armbrust and I developed Twisty Puzzle Simulator. This post will be community driven and evolve as the game evolves. For now, feel free to post anything related to Twisty Puzzle Simulator. I'll update the OP as needed.

The "Easy Update" - Released
New difficulty options for all puzzles.

The "Adventure Update" - Released
An all new campaign and new puzzles.

The "Global Update"

Once Twisty Puzzle Simulator is available worldwide, network features will be added to the game. This update will add leaderboards, global statistics, and other cool ways to compare and share your puzzle solving experiences. This update will also add advanced local statistics allowing you to view graphs of your solve history. Twisty Puzzle Simulator already keeps track of this information for you so the graphs will be able to extend all the way back to the first time you started playing.

Lastly because this is Twisty Puzzle Simulator after all, the update will add additional secret puzzles.

Hey Mike, this game has really caught my interest, and i have a few questions. before that, though, i've been addicted to loking up videos of random cubes. always liked them as a kid, but never the brain power to solve one.

first question, could you upload a bit of gameplay? the trailer shows it, but it'd be nice to see some normal gameplay.

second, have you test out each individual trophy to see it pops properly? i usually go for all trophies on a game, and im a bit fed up recently with lots of bugged trophies in games.

finally, will this be a tough game to solve all puzzles on? i am looking for a solid challenge.

thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forum!

My solves can be frustrating to watch but here is some footage from the press kit.

I'll also be uploading some VR gameplay soon.

All the trophies have been tested multiple times and are working properly.

Getting the platinum will be hard, and solving all the secret puzzles will be very very hard.

thanks for al the info! glad to hear this will be tough, i wasn't sure if it was a game geared towads the "ezpa" community of trophy hunters. It would be cool to see you add in some trophies for the ultra hard secret puzzles when they are added in the game! i'll be picking this up within the weeks leading up to christmas.
