Puzzle 101 is played with six Blinks — no more, no less. Blinks begin in setup mode, showing a dim white pattern. To begin, surround one Blink with 5 neighbors. This will begin a sparkling animation.
The starting arrangement
Double-click the sparkling Blink to generate a puzzle. When all sparkling stops, the puzzle is ready.
Puzzle creation
Separate all pieces to begin.
Puzzle pieces separated
Puzzle pieces must be assembled so that all colored sides of a piece are touching the side of another piece with a matching color. A side with no light will have no neighboring piece on that face.
Correct and incorrect connection examples
To help a player determine if they’ve placed a piece correctly, the lights will pulse on and off when correctly aligned. Unsolved faces will remain fully lit.
When the puzzle has been solved, or if the player wants to give up on the current puzzle, bring all the pieces together and double-click any Blink to go back into setup.
The puzzle is solved when all sides have been correctly matched and the Blinks are pulsing in sync.
