Hi everyone,
After a long time of procrastinating and false starts I'm getting to a point where I'll be ready to release my first game on Steam. It's a puzzle/ logic game along the lines of classic logic problems where you need to arrange elements based on the clues. I'm planning on having about 75 puzzles, and it'll amount to about 200 different little characters by the time I'm done. The game itself works and 40 puzzles are loaded in my version, and nearly all 75 of them are written. So still some work for me to do, but definitely at a point where I have something to show and so I think I'm ready to start getting it out there in the public space.
I know it's a very niche concept, and it's not going to be for everyone, but rather than making the usual kind of puzzle games which are usually 'path based' or 'colour match' or 'hidden thing' type games, I wanted something that would be a little different and maybe be more memorable as a result. It's certainly not meant to be a money making racket or a major source of income, and I'm really just hoping some people will enjoy it. It'll be family friendly and the difficulty will probably be about equal to a logic problem puzzle book that you might buy, so hopefully a decent balance that a lot of people can enjoy. I'm also working on a few little secrets and surprises to hopefully make it a bit more fun.

So here it is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2423100/Terrierble_Logic/

Please use this discussion to pose any questions about the game and offer suggestions. And if the game looks like something you'll enjoy I'd appreciate a wishlist or a follow.

UPDATE: My game is included in the October 2023 Next Fest, under the Puzzles and Logic categories. Please give it a play and let me know what you think so far.

UPDATE JUNE 2025

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that I've released the gameplay trailer for the game and set a launch date. It will be launching to the world on July 15th 2025. I have requested that the game get added to the list for giveaways and closer to that date I will be doing a giveaway, (maybe a little train even), but for now I just wanted to get the word out there and say how excited I am to finally be at this point. It's got cloud saving, achievements and a few little bonuses all included, and I really hope it's a game that lovers of logic will enjoy puzzling over.

Thanks everyone for the support. The game has officially launched. I'll do some giveaways for it, when SG finally adds it to the list.

bump!
played the demo, and it is pretty good! the puzzles are well made, and the animations are just lovely :) no bugs detected.

I think the weakest part at the moment is the UI. it is probably not the final version, but anyway, here's some suggestions:

  • puzzle intro (text on the left side) is one-time use, so it'd be nice if the player could close/minimize it to save up some screen space
  • I also wanted "you are holding" part to be separate and more imminently visible. maybe it should work on hover as well, not just on drag?
  • text should probably be resizable.. I know it's bit of a pain with Unity, but think about it. it seems to me that small text may become the main complaint of future players
  • some hover effects in the main menu would be nice :)

also, thanks for the giveaways and good luck on finishing/releasing the game! nice work!

I will bump this thread again once I've got some giveaways set up as I know that's the most important thing on SG right. Can't have an announcement thread without giveaways included.

I am excited for you. A lot of hard work is finally paying off. I just looked at my wishlist - I added your game to my wishlist back on the 18th September 2024. This is my sort of puzzle game :)

Oh, thank you. Reciprocated (I also like what you do with the bundle information. You stepped into some big shoes, following on from Lilly and are filling them well :)
Am looking forward to your game launching. I currently am grinding through Logic Town. I enjoy it, but miss my pen and paper. I make a terrible mess, but seem to think better when I can scrawl over stuff. Selecting things on the screen does not have the same feel (plus I have a tendency to waver my mouse and select the item just above or below what I want (stupid mistake :)

Oh yeah I get you. Even in testing my own puzzles, I tend to break out some pen and paper and have arrows pointing everywhere. One thing I aimed to do with this game is to have it be a bit more flexible in how the things are arranged, so you can group things together on the screen and it actually helps a bit with solving.

I like the idea of being able to group things together. That sounds very cool. It sounds like giving the player more ability to sort things out according to how they process the puzzle. Not everyone thinks exactly the same.
I look forward to seeing your finished product :)

I am not really into puzzle games, but the game is looking great!

(Steam says that the most similar game that I've played is Golf With Your Friends. I love that Steam algorithm!)

The Game launches tomorrow, so to celebrate, I've added some giveaways.
Once the game is out and added to the list on SG, I'll be able to add some giveaways for it as well.

Thanks a lot. And yes, that's pretty much it. I loved those kind of puzzle books as a kid, and as I got older, I realised I didn't even need the grid, so this was an attempt to turn that into a game.

I don't understand the train puzzle...

Sorry it was mostly just a way of keeping the bots out, line by line the words and the numbers will build a five letter code, which you should know what to do with by now. Most of the games are level 2 unfortunately though.

Ah alright, most games I try to give away here don't seem to get CV, so its hard to level up

EXCITING!-2

Is it supposed to be a dash or a minus?

Don't think too much about that it's just a way of separating the words and the numbers. Everything you need is there, line by line, pretty self contained.

Sorry I realise now that my capitalization on the last part of the train code was wrong... For shame. It's should be right now!

Making the train loop on itself was a nice touch: like chasing one's tail.

It took me a bit to figure out what to do with all the dog gone 🐶 emojis. How tErRieRble of me.

Best wishes for the launch.
