**VIDEO SPOILERS BELOW** Linelith Review, starting with what I liked: - This is the shortest game I've ever seen capable of setting up expectations and delivering not one, but several twists that lead into a satisfying conclusion. This is the ideal puzzle game experience distilled to its very basics and delivered in less than an hour without any filler. - The twists themselves were a wonderful shock, they should have been so obvious but still caught me by surprise. It's always special when a puzzle game can make me laugh from joy. - I love how everything could be done from the very beginning. The player must make the connection themselves rather than receiving some powerup or being spoon-fed the leap in logic. - This game gets a ton of little things right, such as keeping tally of the puzzle progress and making the solved puzzles a solid color. That's all it takes to prevent the player from wasting their time on a tedious puzzle search. - The background song is awfully pretty. It was just one song on loop for 45 straight minutes, and I didn't even get remotely tired of it. - I respect games so much when they end exactly when they're supposed to. If this game was any longer, it may have gotten tedious or could have tried to force some flawed or uninteresting ideas into the game. I would rather that the developer knows exactly what's fun than throwing everything at the wall, even if both games have the same amount of fun parts. There's something special about a constant drip of excellence that most developers sadly miss out on by padding their runtime. Of course, a consistent short game will never compare to a consistent long game. There's a reason my rating is 'Flawless' rather than 'Perfect'. What I didn't like: - Overall Rating: 10/10 (Flawless)

Tyler: "Lets go back to regular puzzles now" Tyler 2 seconds later: "Can I solve the void?"

Aww man I gotta say I'm a smidge disappointed that the progress bar itself wasn't the final puzzle :(

"Let's go back to normal puzzles" [The Witness instinct kicks in] *"Can i solve the Void?"*

This is one of those "The only thing I don't like is that I can't clear my memory of playing it and experience it again" games.

This seems like a weird combo of The Witness's elegant mechanics, Patrick's simple yet fullfilling puzzles and "aha" moments and Baba with the self-puzzlers. I am ALL HERE for it

So we went from "everyhing is a cake" to "everything is a puzzle"

This game went from “Oh cool concept” to “OH WOW” really fast

Tyler's laugh when he solved the void at 10:05 was so maniacal, I loved it

Taking *Quality over Quantity* in a next level be like:

I stared for too long and now the rocks look like a minimalist art giga chad.

This feels like The Witness all over again, except literally everything can be solved.

I've been waiting for you to get to this one, seriously amazing game tbh

to describe this game in short point at anything ask yourself "is this a puzzle?" and answer yourself with "yes"

Just finished the game before watching as recommended, i would ABSOLUTLEY recommend trying it out before watching. The twist was amazing to figure out, and now it's doing similar things to my vision that the end of witness does.

Oh man, that moment of sheer excitement when he realized you can solve the floors was priceless. I was grinning as soon as he figured it out as well. I'd expect nothing less from the creators of Patrick's Parabox! They're truly puzzle-game making geniuses.

I love that the biggest puzzle is finding out what's a puzzle. It's so satisfying with every reveal.

One of my favorite things about this channel is knowing I will never play these puzzle games and become immune to spoilers.

As much as I'd love to see this as something that got expanded on, I feel like it's better like this. It's the perfect puzzle game, and it's not even that long, if you put your mind to it. Props to the guy that made it, he really knows his stuff.

Bro this game looked really fun. I like the idea of just figuring everything out yourself, and the inclusion of even the void into the game. The twist is so unexpected, yet easy to find, which is important in why its appealing. I compare this game to the little shape fitting toys for toddlers, except it's for normal people, yet it is still entertaining.

This is giving me massive The Witness flashbacks. The Witness is probably my most favorite Aliensrock playtrough

"can I solve the void?" Probably the best thing I have ever heard Tyler say

For once I am actually going to play this before watching the LP, I did a little bit of this already and it has already made me giggle like an idiot a few times EDIT: Beat it, that made me very happy, now time to watch the LP!

This game looks insanely fun and I'm a little mad I didn't play it first lmao

THIS IS SO GOOD I REGRET NOT PLAYING IT

It’s almost like a scavenger hunt for the answer and the problem of the puzzle

What a incredibly fun revelation when we realized you could solve stuff like the walls,floor and even the freakin void

Multiple times i was like “Ooooooooh” whenever i found something out xD Great puzzle game.

This game designer makes fantastic puzzle games! I watched one episode of your Patrick’s Parabox play through and immediately went and played it. I’m going to be keeping track of their games from now on! Thanks for showing me some really sick puzzle games.

editor was right, I played for exacly 58 minutes and only had 4 missing which i looked back and couldnt find. Amazing blind playthrough experience

22:48 Wondering if the void is the very last thing while the puzzle he leaves for last is on the screen

I could totally see this being expanded into a much larger game. Definitely got Witness vibes especially when solving the void. I loved it.

Wow Tyler I just watched this video on 25 times speed and I really enjoyed it! Commenting so the algorithm goes nuts for yet another banger my boy

10:13 oh god, i can tell this is gonna Witness me in the way that i'm gonna be seeing puzzles everywhere i go in the same way witness made me see circles and lines everywhere i went...

Those first 10mins? Absolutely joyous :) I'd never seen or heard of the game, so it was a pleasure to go on that smiling journey with you 😁 Thanks for the upload!

Theres a type of puzzle game called slither link which is very similar to this game, I used to play them a lot and its quite fun.

19:27 THE CUP hhahahahha I remembered the cursed cup lmaoo

First video I'm pausing so I can play the game myself! Looks really cool.

At the start the dots reminded me of the witness It was a nightmare for me to figure out

The twist gave me baba vibes to discovering you could do something previously overlooked

Retro Style "The Witness". Absolutely love it!

This is an ideal example of a puzzle game MVP (minimum viable product). MVP is a concept of distilling your game into its truest and purest form. To see what's the essential of a game, to see what makes it "fun", and only focus on that. *[minor game spoilers below]* This game doesn't cramp meta UI/level selection stuff (eg Baba Is You) but instead being the meta itself. The dev doesn't include challenge levels or more complex mechanics (eg the Witness) instead they keep it concise. It really is a flawless game who solely focuses on making the full experience from start to finish a fun one. Great job. Props to the dev!

the pure child like glee that both Tyler and I felt when he clicked on a new surface was so incredible, this really is the best 1 hr puzzle game wow

A good speedrun of this game must be so satisfying.

"Ooh, the floor looks tough here." Yes, that's how floors work

When Tyler solving the floor makes you pop off with him you know it's a good game, also "you can solve the floor!" Was hilarious

Thank you for the disclaimer for playing the game yourself, I loved it and came back to like the video

"Turn everything into simple corporate designs" puzzle game

bought game because of your glowing review at the start of the video so I wouldn't be spoiled watching your playthrough. took me roughly 1 hour, very worth the $3. You found most of the game mechanics before me lol. The only one I found prematurely was the green bricks/walls.

the design is brilliant as well as you feel when discovering these twists

Thanks for the content!

very glad i played the game before I watched, truly a perfect and short puzzle game

Watching you figure out you can solve *everything* was quite fun

I usually watch your videos while Im doing something. So Im watching, I look up for a minute then look down and you’re solving the floor.

after watching this I'm solving everything like a puzzle in my everyday life

This is incredible, there are literally 3 game mechanics: 1 some puzzle tiles are movable 2 lines must start and end at dead ends 3 vertices with dots must have exactly as many line-occupied tiles around them as they have dots and it's a better puzzle game than the majority of others, even many of the good ones.

You sound so excited all the time I love it

The puzzles reminds me a lot of the line puzzles from the witness but in 2D, cool stuff! :D

This is the literal definition of “Short and sweet”

honestly i think the non-solid color versions of a lot of stuff looks prettier and more satisfying, but maybe that's just me

Saw the warning and immediately stopped, got the game, beat it 100%, and am now back to watch. I'm so glad I did.

Bought the game before watching and I don't regret it. Very simple, but very fun!

Just finished this game before watching and loved it from start to finish. The only missed opportunity for me is that the progress bar wasn’t also a puzzle.

10:01 Tyler becomes gloriously mad with power

Great with the editor note near the beginning. I went and play it myself first. This game is great thx.

Yo Aliensrock, thanks for asking me to purchase and play the game beforehand, I did that and it turned out to be one of my favorite puzzle games despite its short playtime. Without that disclaimer I likely would've bought it after watching the video with all the spoilers, and I wouldn't've been motivated to play the game, so I thank you for putting that disclaimer there

The fact at basically everything can be solved as a puzzle is bith funny and amazing

followed the advise and a really great short game. only problem at the end i was at 131 not because i was missing a very hidden puzzle jsut because i just ran past 1 random yellow one for no reason so i had to backtrack all the way back sadly i figured everything out almost immediatly (mainly thanks to another very famous puzzle game) so not many aha moments for me^^ still fun and creative

It's one of those games where the magic of the game is completely lost by watching a video about it. Wish I had played this D: I have stopped watching a few of Tyler's videos to go and play the actual game featured, but by the time I understood the allure, the magic is lost with this game. Oh well, what I wonderful little game.

"Can I solve the void?" is up there when it comes to Tyler quotes

10:00 The laugh of a man ready to go on a power trip.

Mom can we have the witness? - No, we have the witness at home. The witness at home:

6:32 You can't tell me it doesn't sound like he just said "Semen Sausage Roll."

First time playing the game before you, have to say its a completely different experience waiting for you to discover and react to surprises

This game was perfect short and sweet loved it

I'm not a puzzle gamer but damn this look so fun. Simple, and clever. Not too long, not too short. For 3$ this is amazing

Tyler figuring out you can solve the void BLEW MY MIND.

At first, I was confused by why you could move around a museum-like area over a standard level system. Then realising you could become part of the puzzle, it seemed so brilliant. From that I pieced together that the wall was probably a puzzle too, but to think that even the floor was a puzzle... Absolutely astounding design

Literally quality incarnat such an amazing game

Was about to watch this video and decided to play the game through first. About an hour later, I'm back to watch the video. Excellent estimation lol.

An excellent game and video. Very enjoyable

Amazing game, they kept it short and simple, very enjoyable.

I like the secret morales it teaches you by simply learning. And exploring

Aliensrock's laughs is the best

Bought and played it before watching like suggested. The puzzle at 22:20 I actually solved by putting two blocks near the two dots, so the line could fulfill that requirement without getting trapped there, but too some tight line making to make sure I never blocked myself. Your solution looked much easier to make I don't know why I didn't try it that way rather than get stuck for a short time.

Oh, the "one hour game" was surprisingly accurate for me! I didn't look at the clock when playing, but after finishing the game, steam said "60 minutes play time". XD

This was really enjoyable.

12:49 "hmmm the floor looks tough here"

Tyler's laugh is pure joy

the beginning just makes me think of "the witness"

Tyler and esitor: "Play the game first, it's so cool AND cheap!" Me, who lives in Russia and can't buy games on Steam: *"No, I don't think I will"*

The man coded and thought of 132 puzzles with roughly the same mechanics in an hour

A game so flawless, it was banned to exceed more than a Hour. Gosh...

My brain is so tiny, so I can watch this and then play the game like a week later and forget how to do it

10:01 when inner thoughts take over

Just the thumbnail and the 3s preview made me buy and play this game. 40 min later I had 100% and a positive review on Steam

The greatest twists in a game

"i can solve the floor" -aliensrock

I love how you did the void part of the final puzzle earlier but then forgot to do the actual puzzle

One at a time, You can solve anything, give and take. Those are some of the hidden morales here.
