I got to 16 - the rotations killed me.
I didn't get the mayonnaise clue, and had to skip through from another solution to get to it.
@Devenger: Indeed I played the game again when I got home from work and realized that there are a couple of pictures (such as the nutcracker) which become almost impossible when played on full rotations due to the mono-colored background.
What bums me about it is that, due to the difficulty snaffu at puzzle 16, not many if any will complete the game and I have a little victory song made up and everything...oh well...
Two last screens were challenging! I had fun. Next step is adding moving blocks around, then it'll be almost impossible under time pressure.
@refrag - Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it.
The first time I played through I got to the first full-rotation puzzle and didn't realise there was a time limit. I managed to beat it the second time though (my strategy was to find all the faces with the right picture, then turn them up the right way).
It would be cool if there was a pause after solving the puzzle so you get a better look at the whole photo. Also, for the post-compo version, I think you should have left the last puzzle as a 4x4 one. Maybe add a 5x5 full-rotation one too.
Nice puzzle game, had fun playing it.
Holy feck, when the full rotation was introduced I was struck. I didn't think you'd also had to get the orientation straight ;)
Didn't stop me from beating it though!
Well done.
