I'm really curious about what the future may hold for the weapon in the secret room... It's a level 1 mace, not a scythe, so will there be other versions of the weapon for other classes in other puzzles? It'll be cool to see what it will merge into, and if it will have any special effects on combat.

MAYBE IT WILL GET US TO THE SOCK IN THE FIRST LOCK?!?!
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS (energy barrier?)

I'd test it myself but I haven't figured out how to get to the secret room in the first puzzle...

spoiler:

How do we get to the secret room? Where to find it on this one?

spoiler:

There's a hole in the wall when you go upside down. Should be the room with what looks like a crack from a hammer on the ground (ceiling?).

spoiler:



The secret room for the second puzzle can be accessed while upside-down. You have to go to the portion of the wall with a small hole at the bottom of it and it will place you into a small maze

spoiler:

I tried equipping the brick and walked against the barrier in the first secret room but to no avail

spoiler:

Look at the reflection in the ground. In one of the rooms you should see an open doorway in the reflection and that's where you can go through

spoiler:

I tested out your theory about trying to break down the barrier in the first secret room with the "Hero's Brick", but alas, it looks like even this fearsome weapon is not enough!

Edit: ninja'd!

spoiler:


Found the secret room in the first puzzle and even with the brick equipped I could not get through the barrier. I have a feeling the other secret rooms hold items that, together, will get us through the barrier.

Oh, you can swap pieces that you have placed if they are not broken pieces? When you say swap is that just replace the current piece with the new piece or actual swap, e.g. current piece replaced with new piece but the next piece you have to lay is the old current piece. If it is just a replace that would have made it a lot easier for me (though easier to accidentally place a broken piece as was pointed out).

Anyone else notice the unfair button? Tried it and got a single file columns with bends, failed due to time to get the right piece (see above about possibly doing it wrong with swapping ...), but then tried again and got a different layout. Actually thinking about it the unfair might not be the puzzle is unfair so unfair makes it easier, but rather the unfair puzzle is unfair ...

spoiler:

I beat it while upside-down! It was surprisingly difficult, but I still managed it on my first try. It's really genius that the devs even let us attempt it upside-down, hah!
Does anyone know what the UNFAIR! button does? If it vastly increases the speed of the flow, I want to try it out, but if it just skips past the puzzle, well, there's no point in doing that run _three_ times.

Also, here's some fitting music! Not quite the typical warfarin' groove, but I think it's appropriate.

EDIT: Oh, so that's what UNFAIR! does. First try.

spoiler:

I believe the "unfair" mode is a puzzle with a very narrow/strict path that you need to follow, and limited tiles to place the broken pipes on.

spoiler:

Also as for the item from the secret room... it's classified as a weapon but it's a brick, right? I don't think it has any functionality at the moment but it would make sense that we'll use it to fill something, or combine it with something to build something.

Also thank goodness for that "Unfair" button because I suck at these pipe games.
