The Best Puzzles I’ve Seen in Several Months!

[@nozomu57]

Hi Tyler, Ivan here, developer of the game! Been watching your channel for many years already, and when I started making games last year together with my wife Eva, I couldn't even anticipate that we'll so soon appear on your channel! Apart from several free web games we made during these 2 years (puzzles included), Robot Detour was our first proper game on Steam. I'm so glad you and others are enjoying it! Hopefully you won't be pushed back by some experiments there are still left in the game haha. Also I'm personally feeling wery honoured to hear I did well with puzzle design! I wanted to make something not overly complicated, but still with a ton of aha-moments and cool mechanics. Also I am a fan of Witness-style explanation of rules, letting the player experiment and learn rles and nuances on their own. Glad you appreciate it too :) P.S. Don't know if "Detour/Robot Detour" joke in the beginning was intentional or not, but this game initially started with a small gamejam version, which indeed was called "DETOUR" :)

[@XavierCat]

I really do appreciate that Tyler doesn't show what'll happen when you hit the spikes, and acknowledges that it's obvious. It's really nice.

[@LeVarito]

He does show it 1:26 Here too 3:10

[@Nugggggggggg]

@@LeVarito you know what he meant 😒

[@Wudjja]

But what if I like my intelligence being insulted 🥺

[@control9lcme]

Usually having it shown is useful, not because of *what* it does, but *how* it does - hitboxes, etc.

[@LushhN]

Lil easier to get away with since the game doesn't reset you to the start. Not much time lost to get a visual on the incorrect line.

[@ServantOfSatania]

Of course the thumbnail is that, never change Tyler

[@SeriousApache]

The most efficient thumbnail. As certain fake military architect would say.

[@WaterDroplet02]

extremely amused by how they rounded the blocks specifically to make it happen

[@jeremypanjaitan4039]

idk man, seems normal to me, no genitals in sight

[@jodysgamingchannel9480]

Now just needs the Bike.

[@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132]

​@@SeriousApache it's realy the highest ranking of architects that can be concidered "mad" . . ordinary architech is more like a lead engineer than anything :/

[@FoxSlyme]

I love how the editing at 8:55 references a timestamp in the video as if that was a Bible quote

[@zackbuildit88]

This, Lok, and The Blue Prince are the 3 puzzle games that I really wanna see a series for. This looks so cool

[@O1O1OOO1tip]

Title could have been “best puzzles I’ve seen this year”

[@Aliensrock]

Haha I would’ve if that wasn’t so much less impressive

[@ninjashoe2158]

​@Aliensrock It wouldn't have been lying though.

[@ShaneZickmann]

This game is somewhat similar to a puzzle game called Filament, which is also really good. They both feature a robot attached to a tether that needs to reach a certain goal, but filament is much more about rule discovery and you can’t cross your line, among other things, so it’s actually quite different.

[@F3XT]

he did play filament and didn't like it

[@vaughnblakely7595]

Filament felt bad IMO. Felt like brute forcing was the fastest strategy which feels poo in puzzle games.

[@mathmaniac3033]

Filament is definitely in the same style, but different execution. I personally enjoyed a large chunk of it, but it takes a *lot* of time to just digest everything you can do. Some points are definitely just brute forcing, but a good chunk of puzzles you can figure out the logic on certain angles of entry and exit that are required and stitch together a jigsaw-like solution using those parts.

[@josiahsimmons9866]

This game looks super charming with puzzles that are really solid. They aren't *too* difficult, but they aren't baby easy either.

[@Wicko_]

Bro skipped 8th level and thought we won't notice

[@Pakaberto]

Is the 8th level a meme or aliensrock lore?

[@taoafro1740]

Now I’m curious about level 8!

[@mathmaniac3033]

If experience tells us, it might not have been interesting enough of a puzzle to showcase.

[@Manelneedsaname]

@mathmaniac3033 no, actually skipped, it was not completed in the stage select screen

[@mathmaniac3033]

@@Manelneedsaname Ah, good catch. I probably should have guessed given the level select screen at the end lmao.

[@mcpgamerpro]

Its like Elechead but Tyler shoots ropes all over the screen

[@gideonmaxmerling204]

🐪👍

[@henke37]

Except that there is no head tossing and no platforming and no powering things by touch and no open world.

[@That-_-Guy]

@@henke37yup, supremely boring

[@De_an]

@@That-_-Guy Horrendous take.

[@Call_Me_Pickle]

He does WHAT?

[@gianlucaconsiglio8335]

Nice to see some new puzzle ideas. Good to know someone's keeping it fresh out there

[@SetOfAllSets]

You are great at editing. The twinkles on the puzzle element you're talking about? The opacity on your facecam when something goes behind it? Wonderful. Good job.

[@cookiecherith]

This channel has multiple dedicated editors, so the credit for the attention to detail goes to one of them (in this case, as it mentions in the description: Dan White)

[@Ryan-kx9iq]

Best puzzle game you've explored since 2024, more pls

[@Creepaminer]

5:34 why did he woof 💀🐺

[@AlexK-zi8bx]

I played that games last month, and really cool to see it on your channel. Nice review! GG

[@ibdoomed]

That reveal around 8:40 _blew_ _my_ _mind_. Just wow.

[@iheartbinary]

The reveal of... The level selection menu?

[@dariuszjozef7654]

Ah, yes. The best puzzle game. *looks at the thumbnail*

[@haulin]

The strongest puzzle game

[@JaclynSchuster]

The "hardest" puzzle game

[@riaguintu4197]

I just found this channel a day ago and now it's my favorite channel I found, I'm definitely going to like and subscribe

[@Zorgdub]

I'd love to see more of this. There's a lot to like here.

[@ethanbutshorts7346]

Your my favorite youtuber because most youtubers dont play the genre i like but you are one of the few does and you are the only one that posts alot.

[@linuxares]

I love how simple mechanics often makes the most challenging puzzle games.

[@dinoeebastian]

if I were to ever make a puzzle game I would definitely design each level around my solution, but I wouldn't try to make other solutions not possible, partly because they would be painful and annoying, but also because I think puzzles are more fun that way, most puzzles have multiple solutions. I'd also include an achievement for completing a level in a way I didn't notice

[@furuthebat]

RCE: "This thumbnail has the stronges shape"

[@magma2050]

I played a similar game a while back - Filament. It had the same core mechanics but with distinct variants of new rules that start grouped but eventually hybridise into each other, with a good deal of secrets hidden in environmental queues, a lot like the puzzle game Taiji.

[@elementgermanium]

immediate eva reference caught me off guard lol

[@anthonylesceux1586]

Damn another puzzle I will enjoy playing. Everytime I watch one of your video I encounter a dilemma. Keep watching because I like your content so that more will pop up on my recommandations. Or stop right there to enjoy discovering the game myself. My taste in game is so much like the one you are playing here.

[@qwertyman506]

This is a pretty fun one to watch, I'm interested. I hope it gets crazy with its theming/ gimmick

[@solty.lobster]

Bro think he RCE after making Thumbnail 😭🙏

[@Lycanthromancer1]

8:30 - Nice reach-around technique, there...

[@tinfox2]

This definitely feels like baba in how you just have to figure the special interactions out for yourself, all the game gives you are the tools.

[@1uohdh2]

Commenting for thumbnail appreciation. The laugh rule wins the day

[@dullish988]

Tyler will do anything to not replay Filament. That includes playing a different Filament.

[@denzy3929]

I instantly bought the game after watching you playing a couple of levels. And i love it. Very intuative and not that hard (i had to drop baba because i was to stupid to progress😔).

[@ronanh.9261]

This looks like a great puzzle game. Love to see more

[@zane_sadauskis]

I'll say it now, I want to see more of this game!!!

[@dwarian5252]

5:22 ??? Do I smell something suspicious here?

[@MarlockT]

Brain rot

[@flockofwingeddoors]

Great puzzles! It's fun to see you really enjoy the game

[@vharmi.]

I can totally see how someone was inspired to make this game after trying to route extension cords through their room. Just moved into a new place last month and ony have one outlet, but multiple things that require electricity all over the room haha

[@JoggleBoi]

I love the rocket ship in the thumbnail

[@MrBlinky10101]

This is an amazing puzzle game, wow

[@beeman-dev]

Yes, more of this please! 🥳

[@gressorialNanites]

Love this game! Quality content.

[@Furryfemboygames]

I love the little neon genesis reference at the very beginning lol

[@PhạmHiếu-g2h]

[@natesky6603]

liking purely for the thumbnail

[@snekrot850]

2:44 can i please have that as my alarm clock?

[@SanityInAnAmazonBoxShorts]

[@snekrot850]

@SanityInAnAmazonBoxShorts Deal. Im setting it as my alarm once im back in my room, and tmrw I have my first day of schopl this year, meaning I will wake up for school the first time of the year to this sound

[@ITAndroMedian]

Continued recognition of the strongest biological shape.

[@ShinySwalot]

this game is so good

[@MonstyrSlayr]

[@apollorowe3732]

silly guy charging his friend, what else will he get up to

[@GAG-v2f]

Nice, this showed up in my recomendations page

[@LHplayer]

Why does it say that the game is Isles of Sea and Sky under the description?

[@phlogchamp]

Reminds me of a game called Filament

[@taggedJC]

Reminds me of Filament. Has Tyler played that one yet?

[@InnOcentp1e]

Interesting indeed

[@ryuguy032197]

i would like to recomend a puzle game: Exographer

[@Lenyntaka]

I wondered what would happen if you touch the spike, i mean it couldn't possibly kill the robot right?

[@23UAS]

I see htere's no reference to Paquerette Down the Bunburrows on your end screen. I thought you like that game :( It was one of my favorite series on this channel

[@mitchellcarlton-wl8oo]

Another can of wormholes

[@creator3090]

cool game ! I hope this video works so we can see more

[@antonyisbwos]

Wow, cool!

[@zan3774]

No potion craft? Come on tyler

Consider a frictionless wire

[@ilovehumongoushonkers]

I think he's waiting for the full game to release

[@pdg3513]

Filament did this concept too

[@KajusŠermukšnis]

amazing

[@Chadworthy_]

Filament but the wire can be crossed.

[@niek-mx3de]

when will you play the new update of polly bridge 3?

[@SeymourDisapproves]

Best game of 2025, no contest

[@d3v934]

Umm, what do the red triangle things do, guys?

[@__archermaster__8790]

I can't believe this game costs -$5.39 on Steam! So they just pay you when you get the game?

[@egg-1863]

Hi Tyler❤

[@damie9412]

Nice

[@Rev_Erser]

Did you not do 8 10 11 and 12?

[@Colteor7761]

Day 1536 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it. Chat im late cause i was out buying a new laptop Edit: fixed day number. Fat fingered it originally and said 1546, not 1536
