Yes, many levels have variants of multiple working solutions. We do have an optimal solution for most puzzles, but some puzzles made their way inside after the beta (so we are collecting data from them as people play). A long time ago, we had considered a scenario where these optimal moves were an objective to compete with, also a scenario where you compete with the best and average of the rest of the world. As shocking as it may sound, these ideas just fizzled out in the whole development process (we ended up spending close to 14 months on the game).
Just saying: a leaderboard of time taken per puzzle, would mean quite a lot of leaderboards We have 100 puzzles and then some more to come as updates. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the thoughts and I will try and solve the puzzles and not worry about the 1 stars that I am likely to get on all the levels. As long as they don't mean I can't progress, I will try and keep a stiff upper lip and not feel stupid for being slow and methodical.
Not for long, if I can help it We will take all these feedback and try to figure out a path ahead. Meanwhile, FWIW, you can freely progress in the game. All the puzzles are always unlocked. So you can keep moving forward and keep coming back. (I really like how philosophical that last line sounds I surprise myself at moments)
I was just going through my notes on the game, and remembered a detail I hadn't shared earlier. The time goals are also based on optimal time needed (based on the beta) per puzzle. We recorded data on moves taken, time taken and steps of hints required. All three were used as a measure of puzzle difficulty. Used time taken to create the time goals. Steps of hints required was used to better plan for hints shown. Number of moves taken was used for pacing the puzzles. There are some speed breakers and breathers (esp when introducing something new) in between as well.
The puzzles are all always unlocked and more levels would be provided as free upgrades. The stars will never mess around with your progress ever. The stars are their only for the Game Centre leaderboards. Otherwise, we have always wanted Huerons to be a puzzle game which can enjoy whenever you have a quite moment or 5 min. spare .. you know .. solve a level and thats it .. its not designed to be a arcade time race .. we just want players to enjoy the experience of making mistakes and finding the solution
Playing it more - you need to change the star system. Driving me buggy, and I'm tapping as fast as I can with a memorized pattern to get the 3 stars. There is NO way someone just looking at the puzzle is going to 3 star it without having reflexes of Superman. Sorry, I'm a completionist, and have some OCD tendencies and can't deal with an unrealistic timer system.
Yes, we would be updating that in the update for sure. Your timings and moves used are saved so just wait for the updates and everything would be back on track
Working on Updates! Hello everyone, Hope you are all having a great time. We are working on the games update. A few of the additions we have planned are: 25 new levels. (available for free) A new game mode (currently being called ZEN) which would be based on the number of moves taken to complete the level rather than time. Also a new leaderboard for the this new game mode Bug fixes- Mainly of the time requirements of a few levels and also background music More ways to get Hints in the game Adjusting the level progression at a few places We are hoping to release these updates sometime next week If anyone has any suggestions or feedback for what is present in the game or for the updates, please do share with us
Hey Pluto6, sorry I missed your message somehow. The game update is ready since November but the publisher thought its best if we push it out in January. So that's when the update would go live.

Tweaked the difficulty curve a bit throughout the levels The game is also on sale available for only 0.99$ Please do leave your feedback Enjoy!
Update is Live!! For me, the Zen Mode is the perfect way to play this. No time limits, only scored by the number of moves to complete the level. With the undo you step forwards and backwards as you like. Minimalistic design with a great puzzle concept. Highly recommended for puzzle fans. I am only getting started since I like to 3 star before moving on. The first puzzles are quick, but as soon as you start blending the thinking cap needs to go on. For completion, no problems, but for 3 starring levels, requires some thinking (at least for me). Thanks Devs!!
glad you liked the update we hope players will now find more value in the game, and it will make a lot more sense.
