The developer of Maxwell's Puzzling Demon has released a demo for their upcoming game, Tiling Town, and looks like folks are enjoying it a lot!
Herd in the store, with a paper slip saying: "Herd, the most recent puzzle game from Slovenian designer BlaΕΎ Gracar, is tactile and confounding. It is cute as all get out, but don't mistake that to mean it's easy. Herd is fiendishly difficult."
Puzzle books in the store, with a paper slip saying: "Slovenian puzzle designer BlaΕΎ Gracar is on a roll. Abdec, LOK, and Workworkwork offer challenging puzzles that teach you gow to solve them as you go along."
All of my puzzle games are now directly available in NYC! You can get Herd, Workworkwork, LOK and Abdec in The Brooklyn Strategist store, at 148 Pierrepont St. in Brooklyn :)

Enjoyed this and looking forward to the full game. Has the same "you figure out the rules" vibe that I really enjoyed with Cipher Zero last year, with a distinct and elegant art style too.

ICYMI, our game My Friends the Monster Trainers was nominated for a Thinky Award! Still psyched to get a mention in the extremely stacked Best Free Game category, and Iβm looking forward to catching as much of the ceremony as I can Wednesday.
The Golden Idol Investigations are up for Best Expansion at the 3rd annual Thinky Awards!
Thank you @thinkygames.com for the nomination, we have our fingers crossed and our Idol ready to evaporate our competition.
Up We Go Simple Path by Murat Can Tonta 2/5 difficulty The art for the puzzle shows our thinky protagonist climbing a staircase. The puzzle below it has grids laid out to look like a staircase.
In this episode of Thinky Dailies, it's pretty easy to see the parallels in the story and the puzzle!

One of those puzzles is absolute madness.
This is a very well designed puzzle game about taking a simple premise and gradually expanding it into a very intricate system of things that interact with each other in fun and unique ways. The puzzles are on the harder side, but there's a very well thorough hint system for them. There's a lot of "meta" elements to the puzzles as well, and that aspect is pretty well done too. Just a solid game all around.
New daily challenge: Writing a positive Steam review for an indie game I like.
Day 1: Gentoo Rescue by @jagriff.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/2830480/...
I just finished playing Loophole and wow, what a game! Completely blown away.
I'm a little sad it was overlooked by the Thinky Awards process, but I'll definitely be singing its praises. Might be my personal GOTY 2025.
Well done, @levi-pinkert.bsky.social!
