Do it.

"The symmetry is symmetrical" A yes, the floor is made of floor.

I have now finished more of this game. Here’s my review on the levels so far: What the fuck.

This game perfectly shows just how unbelievably smart Tyler is...

him guessing all of 6-6 first try was so funny

the rule of 6-6 was to hit all of the circle’s mirror locations

I'm pretty sure that for 6-? You were not playing on the board you were presented with. You were always playing on the mirror board, and needed to hit Circle>Stars>Square in the mirror board, completely ignoring the shapes you could see.

Fun fact: the fanmade guide on steam for 6-6 says : Start with empty End with empty Idk have fun guessing

8:06 "The symmetry is symmetrical." - Aliensrock, 2021

6-? is this: start on circle, hit all stars, avoid triangle, and end on square but you have to use the mirror of the shapes on the opposite level! So level 6-?-1 uses the mirror of the shapes on 6-?-7, 6-?-3 uses 6-?-5 etc. That's why the second line appears on 6-?-4 because it's its own mirror

12:17 is my fav part because of the confusion and "I can't believe you've done this" energy

6-? had you solving the puzzles with the ghosts. Each completed “ghost” line always starts at circle, passes through stars, and ends on squares. Each puzzle had you solving its opposite in the order, with nothing to do with the actual puzzle you were looking at.

The word "symmetry" has no meaning to me anymore.

I just wish this game after the level it would tell u what every rule was to see if u were right and understand it more

As someone with aphantasia, watching Tyler play puzzle games like this (especially episodes like these where you need to picture it in your head) is even more mind-melting, esp when you’re trying to figure out what Tyler is doing since you looked away for 0.5 seconds but don’t wanna rewind

He still hasn't completed 4-9.

for 6-6 you're collecting the horizontally-symmetrical "ghosts" of the circles

“I’m going to sleep, and when I come back, THIS SHIT BETTER START MAKING SENSE.” “You know what? It’s the next day, and this shit actually DOES make sense!”

26:05 you can pinpoint the moment when the nerves get to him

From what i can understand, 6-? seems to be that the levels are mirrored. Most likely you need to solve 6-7 by drawing based on the shapes in 6-1.

22:07 “I mean, this is also one uncovered section” The uncovered section: *E*

I think the 6-6 rule was like one of those “its invisible but you can see a mirror of it on the ceiling/floor/other side of the room” puzzles that are commonly found in puzzle/platformer games, you had to use the location of the circles that you COULD see, and mirror it onto the empty tiles to find out which ones you had to go over.

6-6; mirror the circles and thats where your line has to pass through

I hear symmetry, I get symmetry island thoughts

Please try 4-9 again, it pains me to see in incomplete amongst everything else

I was stuck without solving 6-7 for a while myself, and while I did figure out how to determine (not simply brute forced) the solutions (and thus beat the level) I didn't understand what the underlying rules were; it wasn't until I was in the process of writing a steam community post about it that I finally figured it out.

Small note that 4-9 isn't solved. Maybe a retry?

8:06 “Because the symmetry is symmetrical” -Tyler Aliensrock, 2021

Hey Tyler I’ve been watching you videos for a long time and just wanted to say keep up the good work

Figure out the rule or find yourself stuck at the bottom of a pool

10:54 Level 6-6 the rule is to mirror the board and then hit all the spaces the circles would be in

“Avoid the circles and make it comfortable” Perfect. The hospitality level

In 6-9 each empty space was symmetrical vertically. That might not have been the exact rule, but they all are and it fits with the rest.

the fact that he went to sleep then came back and got it is hilarious but also a good reminder that sleeping is good for the brain in general. Sleep well everyone!

12:32 I was mentally(and almost vocally) shouting "MIRROR AND TOUCH THE CIRCLES"

This is definitely his thing. There have been next to no times I even got the solution once before him in this game, he is amazing! Great content!

in the one with the circles (10:30) you need to flip the circles horizontally than draw the line through the horizontal reflection starting and ending doesn't matter

This is one of my favorite series in a while, keep it up!

love the content man, don't understand these puzzles at all but keep it up. I just wish I saw what you saw lmao, the next day segment was enlightening for your thought process.

16:05 "Symmetrical across" sounded so much like "Sibelius crashed" (Tantacrul video) I can't

For all of the previous ones I followed pretty easily. This one- I got no clue. Tyler's like "Ahh, yes! the symmetry! ACROSS WHERE

On 6-6 you had to cover the spots where circles were horrizontally mirrored. For example the circle is in the top right corner so you have to fill in the top left corner.

FYI the word the "rotational symmetry" you've been looking for is probably "radial symmetry" (symmetry through the center)

15:27 what every student think will happen when they study.

6-? Followed the symmetry theme: In the rest of world 6-, it was about symmetry of things on the board, (The line, covered sections, uncovered sections, etc.). What I understood is that 6-? Was a symmetry of the stages where 6-?-1 was symmetrical with 6-?-7 and so on to the middle (6-?-4). For example, if you lined all the levels up in a straight line in order, it was as if the levels themselves were mirroring each other, which is why the ghosts of the previous levels only started appearing in level 4, and also why you controlled the mirror of the line in that level... It was mirroring itself. It's very similar to the mirror levels in the witness if they were spread across different level panels in the game. If you see this I hope it could help you and I hope what I wrote made sense. Either way, love your vids and keep up the good work, you are one of the only youtube channels where I watch consistently and don't skip any videos so, you are doing an amazing job :) P.S. You forgot level 4-9... again XD

Tyler’s reaction at 26:03 killed me

6-? is one of my favorite puzzles in the game! *Rule spoilers:* . . . The ghost lines are each a mirror across the vertical axis of whatever line you draw on the symmetrical opposite screen/sublevel of 6-? as a whole. So since there are 7 screens, what you draw in screen 1 gets a mirrored ghost line in screen 7, and vice-versa. Same with 2/6, 3/5, and 4 on itself. So the meta/outside-the-box concept is that now there's symmetry across the level as a whole that you need to work with, rather than just an individual screen. From there you can use screen 4 + 1/7 to determine that the rules are all dependent on the ghost line and its respective screen. The specific rules are that you need to draw a line on each screen such that its _ghost line_ is (1) starting on a circle, (2) ending on a square, (3) passing through all stars, (4) not passing through any triangles. Then it's just a series of cross-reference puzzles to win.

This is one of my favorite series

This game is so interesting

The first 10 minutes i couldn't do anything but think on every single level that the direction of the lines was important.

I think 6-6 was the line must go through every horizontal reflection of a circle, but no circles

know I shouldnt but i'm using these videos as a tutorial for levels I can't find the ruleset of, thanks tyler! I gotta say you helped me a couple of times

This game is getting pretty hard, can't wait to see this new video.

This game is so awesome and strange. It just basically tells you figure it out without a word which is kinda genius. This is the type of game that I would be great for the humans are space orcs thing because I can see humans showing aliens something like this. It doesn't need words to explain itself nor any real context. Just some experimentation, logic, and pattern recognition.

Tyler out here finishing section 6 when he hasn't finished 4-9 yet. Shows you how difficult it is.

I love these 30 minute long videos

I just finished watching your witness play through. These puzzles seem very similar now.

im pretty sure the reason 12:48 worked is cuz if you imagine a second set of circles similar to the original set of circles and you flipped the imaginary set of circles, the line is covering that set of circles and i think thats what the rules for that level are

I'm crying here cuz you brute forced my favourite level in the game!

I was so confused until 6-8 and I understood It instantly.

1:21 that is EVIL level design

I have no idea what is going on. Yet its so interesting!

This is getting quite big brain

in 6-6 I think the rule was going through the tiles that were the horizontal reflection of the circles

6-6 is mirror what you drew to see if it hits all the circles

I think 6-6 is cover the boxes across where the circles reflect over the y-axis. That it my best guess

section 6-6 was about covering upp all the spaces horizontally symmetrical to the circles

Spoilers The level 6-? Rule is start on circle, end on square, collect all stars, avoid all triangles I think. Then there is the extra that each puzzleof the level has something off.

“The Symmetry is symmetrical” -aliensrock, 2021

I didn't understand 6-? at first either. I eventually understood that had to do with the layout of the puzzels mirrored from the center, but didn't figure out the exact consept/rules before I revisited the level once the video reached it. The special concept is [spoiler]that the symbols for each puzzle isn't on the puzzle you draw but mirrored in the puzzle that is an equal distance on the other side of the middle puzzle. To think of it in another way, the actual line for the puzzles is the faded one on the other puzzle; the line you draw is the input and represents the puzzle's line but is not the one interacting with symbols (that the rules are checked against). If you thus draw a solution for the symbols visible on a puzzle you could go to the mirrored puzzle and trace the faded line to get the correct solution for that puzzle without having to memorize the positions of the symbols.[/spoiler] The rules used in the puzzle (excluding the concept mentioned above) are: [spoiler]1. Start the line in Circle 2. End the line in Square 3. Collect all Stars 4. Don't collect any Triangles[/spoiler]

Nice vid! Hope you go back to level 4-9 though. And I also wonder what's up with level - - 1? Is that like a reverse level or something?

28:40 Loses breath in disbelief

This was uploaded literally right as I went on break at work. 10/10

Tyler: "make it comfortable" How does that just work?!

I think 6-6 was if you translate/rotate/flip the line drawn, it hits all the circles (when you start at some circle).

25:57 is like a pinnacle moment in this game ive been noticing

13:00 you had to cover all the spaces that mimic the circels, but flipped.

Love the fact that level 4-9 is not completed xd

They'd gonna be a final boss puzzle where you have find patterns across levels, sections, and eventually, from the entire level selection screen, I'm calling it right now, see you back here at the end.

“It’s symmetry across the star!” *proceeds to draw unsymmetrically*

1:24 That was good

For 6-6: maybe you needed to visualize grabbing the line, rotating/flipping it symmetrically somehow, and being able to connect all the circles with it

This was the hardest world for me. All the other ones I at least usually knew what was going on, but this one I got stuck a lot in.

So basically, the 6-? levels are basically the end of symmetry island from The Witness? Where you draw yellow on the board, and opposite of that, is a rotated and/or flipped version of the same puzzle in blue? Because I looked up the rules, and it's really basic stuff, like start on circle, end on square, collect all stars, and avoid triangle.

1:19 Also thought you had to go through the whole course lel 12:24 I think in this one you hit all the spots on the opposite side of the circles 28:38

6-6 is probably to make a line without touching the circles so that if the line you drew was overlapped some way it can touch all the circles

tyler forgot 4-9 and hasn't come back to it

For 6-4-3, it has to be symmetrical for every star it goes through, which is why filling all the spaces didn't work

For 6-6 you needed to hit the spots horizontally symmetrical to the circles

The amount of times Tyler forgot he was in symmetry world

drinking challenge: take a shot every time he says "symmetry"

I think the rule for 6-6 is if you flip the line vertically in the middle of the box, you touch all the circles.

this is like hearing an art teacher explain why the canvas covered in singular lines has meaning

So far with the other episodes i could follow but this time as weird as it sounds, symmetry kicks my ass ^^

6-6-7s rule was you have to make a path that would cover the circles if they were symmetrically flipped

do the series more its awesome

So a game suggestion, I think you might like Oxygen not Included, it's basically a mix of a science puzzle game and survival game.

That is a budget version of The Witness.

Level 6-6 required you to cover all horizontal reflections of the circles
