battery puzzle is absolutely terribly implemented.

It's easy to do when you've figured it out, that's something you devs have said, well guess what it's easy to land a plane if you know how to, that doesn't mean I can shove you into the cockpit of a plane that needs to be landed and you'll just look at it and be able to do it.

You've provided us no explanation of the logic, no examples of how to solve it, you've given us absolutely no basis on which to understand the logic of this puzzle. Unless someone naturally understands it they won't likely get it, because you've provided no information on how to even start to figure it out. It's like giving a 3yo calculus, yeah when you have the basis to understand maths calculus isn't that hard, but a 3yo doesn't know basic maths, that calculus you showed them doesn't mean anything to them it's just gibberish. Maths is a great explanation for how to do puzzles, we have to understand what we're doing or a maths problem is gibberish, once we're given a basis to understand it from we can grasp it. Some people grasp it immediately, some done. We need examples to do that, that's a big part of a basis of understanding because "here's a bunch of crap now figure it out", doesn't work because we don't know what the crap is, what to do with the crap, etc. We need to understand what to do with it or it's just crap.

We click around and finally one of them is the right answer, but we don't understand why, and that's maybe 1-2 correct every like 10 tries, you need to put SOMETHING in there to explain it, cause not everyone just wants to skip every puzzle because you've decided 'oh the game is great, we understand the puzzles, of course you do', you MADE the puzzles, you should understand them, we didn't make them and we don't necessarily follow your same logic. We need something to explain the logic so we can figure out how to understand what you've done. Nothing in the game explains it. So you just let people skip it, like if they can't figure out the first puzzle, why would they want to continue? They'll just feel stupid the entire time because if they can't solve the first one, what makes them think they'll solve any of them.

Like tell me the next number
69, 420, 666, 777, 6969, X?
It's easy to understand the next number if you understand my logic so what is it? I've provided you with MORE information on my puzzle than you did with this battery puzzle.

Unless someone has the same natural thought patterns as you they may very well not be able to figure out because you've provided no basis, no information, nothing. This puzzle is just gibberish. If you provided a simple and complex example and showed the solution and explained it a little we could probably grasp what we're supposed to do, without that this puzzle means nothing, it's just crap on a wall.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your detailed feedback.

Just weeks before the release, we were testing the assistant UI for the battery puzzle for a faster / easier playthrough. During the final testing phase, we've received feedback, that adding such UI would overly-simplify the mini-game and detract from satisfaction of figuring it out independently.

It's always a challenge to strike the golden middle, making sure players on both sides enjoy every mini-game equally. We've poured a lot of effort into every mini-game, so hopefully you enjoyed the rest of the game, despite the issues with the battery puzzle.

I found it very easy to resolve and I'm not exactly a genius. Just put the cursor over the triangles without clicking and see what's happen.
