Poem about feeling like a circle, inspired by a maze puzzle game (that I recommend, it's free and a nice brain tickler!), for today's ODSD: exalclaw.com/odsd-20-smal...

Strange Jigsaws was very poorly optimized, and I feel terrible about the number of people who wanted to play but couldn't because I did a bad job managing memory. But, I learned a lot to take forward to new projects!

Robin sent me an early copy of "The Incident At Galley House". It's a fantastic deduction game, which gets better the deeper you go. It hooked me hard, and ended up delaying my work a few days whoops I recommend! store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/...

Yeah, in "20 Small Mazes" you can drag every maze around, so you can tackle them in any order. Some puzzles used the dragging, as well.

FLEB @flebpuzzles.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Sometimes you have to cut things you love, because they just don't work. This one would have required a lot of cleanup, but the idea was to make a restaurant kids menu that you would draw on. It was difficult to differentiate between drawing on the maze and dragging it around, so I had to cut it.

This cut puzzle was sort of like "Climb" from 20 Small Mazes, but based around optical illusions. For each puzzle in my games, I write down both what's "fun" about it and what you have to "figure out" I liked it, but there was another puzzle with the same "figure out" behind it which I liked more.

In this one, you could exit in any cardinal direction, but the goal was always to exit "east". There were 6 minipuzzles as a part of it. I wanted to make something like a "Lost Woods" maze from Zelda, but I ended up cutting this because it relied too much on outside knowledge for my comfort.

When I make games, I end up making a lot more content than I end up using. So I thought I would post a few puzzles that didn't make it into "20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes". This one didn't make the cut, because I wasn't feeling it. You drag the rules into the slots.
A puzzle called red tape, which involves filling in rules to get to the end.

This looks really neat. A new game by the designer behind "System Syzygy"! If you haven't played "System Syzygy", it's a free game, and a spiritual sequel to "System's Twilight" by Andrew Plotkin, which is a spiritual sequel to "The Fool's Errand" by Cliff Johnson. It's old school and great.
