As of the last development push, we’ve got color-coded flippy blocks.
It’s a very simple mechanic, but it can lead to some interesting challenges. Blocks and switches like these require the player keep track of the positions and states of each color pair across multiple rooms (or potentially entire areas), so they’re a perfect fit for a game whose core dynamic is dense, puzzling exploration and spatial reasoning.
I had neither the time nor space to fully explore the possibilities of this mechanic in Snootlet. I’ll be able to here.
