I finally figured out the rules! I'm very certain of it, I'm no longer surprised by any flower behavior, that's very satisfying. I've taken a few cracks at actually reaching the goal, with no success yet, but in one sense I feel like I already "won".
Solved it but only by following the hints and just doing trial and error. Good puzzle!
I did it. yay.
Finally cracked this and boy was it satisfying to figure out the last rule (yellow). Hint #5 was really the key for me. 10/10
Loved this one a lot! Reminiscent of Lucas Le Slo’s “Illiteracy” but with a totally fresh set of rules that combine together in really interesting ways.
If anyone is stuck, particularly if you’ve figured out the “rules” but can’t pin down the “exceptions”, hint 5 might be more useful than you think :)
Cool pattern / bonus puzzle
this is one of those confusing ones.
I'm one away, I know I messed up at some point, and I think it's because I didn't understand purple x) I'm gonna let my brain rest, but it's a very interesting puzzle !
Spoiler ahaed, even if there is nothing to spoil :
hardest part is getting an odd number of greens
finally got the puzzle done ! It was really tricky (to really understand the rules, and I don't think I got everything) but really clever !
lovely work ❤️ tiny and cryptic and cute, just like I like em
Interesting rules. Still working out the red
