The Scrolling Enigma is far from a perfect game, but it's too interesting to let it pass by. Some of the puzzles are really clever, the scrolling mechanic can be a perfect structure for future titles, and the experience doesn't drag itself more than it should. My feeling at the end was that I wanted more, so I think we have the start of something special in this experimental success.

I really love this! It's the exact sort of game I want to see more of.

just finished your game and really enjoyed it! I think the vampire puzzle solution is one of my favorite moments with the Playdate so far.
