This "simple" puzzle is proving to be one of the hardest to solve in the upcoming demo for The Button Effect... 🧩

I'm putting in lots of effort to make my puzzle game 'feel' intriguing – the architecture, the art, the audio... I hope it'll be appreciated 🙃

Added crouch and zoom to my puzzle game! 🧩

Crouch was the most requested feature from a recent play-test session. It completely opens up the line of sight and lets the player approach puzzles (and buttons) from new angles.
