DLC?
This game was nice. Good concept, nice artwork, nice music, atmousphere, and puzzle design. That being said, I paid $8 for it and it took an hour and a half to complete all the puzzles. Do you guys think there'll be dlc? I can't imagine the puzzles would be that hard to design once the artwork and programming are generally set.

Have you done the extra puzzles after the end of the game for the secret achievement 'Dreamt a beautiful dream'? They're much harder than the ones in the main game.

How do you find those?

EDIT: found it. not sure what the goal is exactly tho...

I went down underneath the very first entrance and there was a dimly lit version of the first three puzzles already completed. I don't know how long I care to look for it though, assuming that's not what you mean. Is it something I should have just stumbled upon already?

Nevermind, I found the dream world. I'm baffled as to what I'm supposed to be doing though.

Assuming you completed those three puzzles, have you...tried falling asleep on the bench in the first room?

So, assuming you did...fall asleep on that particular bench, you should see a few snowballs.

Yeap, though the mechanics of the puzzle eludes me.

I'm having the same problem. Am I meant to connect the snowballs by rolling them out?

I love puzzles, but if the objective isn't at least somewhat communicated it can be frustrating. I guess it's secret extra content, so I can't really blame them, but it really isn't that fun to guess.

The places where the balls are matches where the snowmen stand in the normal world so you need to move them around in order to use the snow balls in the dream world to form a snowman

Wow, that sounds crazy. Thanks!
Lamkin Feb 27, 2015 @ 12:48am 
Yes, as rolling them out will change their size, of course. I was able to build a snowman from the three snowballs in that dimly lit area. If the snowballs are too far apart in the dream world, you can position them closer together by rebuilding the snowmen in the non-dream world. (Hope that makes sense.)

Edit: ninja'd :)

I solved a couple of the puzzles just now, and I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that the snowmen remain flickering when the monster is awake. It's a little... creepy, in this otherwise sweet and peaceful game.
Lamkin Feb 27, 2015 @ 1:04am 
Yeah, I agree 100% that that looks weird; looks almost glitchy, though it makes sense why it's happening.

I gotta say, that ended up being totally elegant and logical. I don't know how long it would have taken me to remember that I could simply rebuild the originals closer together, but I did notice that the dream snowballs' placements coincided with the placement of the original snowmen. This adds a lot of value to the purchase, great job devs. That being said, DLC would still be sweet.

For now, the most difficult thing in the game has been to understand how to access the secret world... It's not what I expected from the game.

The message "And now to sleep" is misleading: I thought that we were supposed to put all the snowmen to sleep by destroying them. :s
After having cheated to see how to access the secret world, I see that I need all my snowmen to continue...
