lyne
A minimal and thoughtful puzzle game for your mind: lyne by Thomas Bowker.
Bart: Honestly, it didn't occur to you to mention that this game requires Unity (and is therefore unplayable by those of us using Linux)?
Until Unity is available for all platforms, I really wish game developers wouldn't use it. At least Flash, with all its flaws, is available to just about everyone.
From what I have found Unity needs .net framework version 4.5 to run newer games. (This does not run on XP.) So if the programer uses just one of the new commands it won't run on 4.0.
Running an XP-machine - too bad. "Error starting Unity Player". I mean - hey, XP is still one of the most prevalent OSs. So I think this is quite annoying.
If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.

Argh, that's why it didn't seem to do anything. I thought it was just me being stupid.
Can anyone explain how the levels work? How many are there?

This was a fun little puzzle game, I liked the color scheme and simple graphics.
I like the interesting music
very calming
There's a linux download link for the game at the bottom of the page.
Interesting game, Bart. Glad to finally see a Unity game that doesn't make nausea a requirement. Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
If Unity uses programing code that only runs on newer OS., then they should list the system requirements.
didn't get it!
i really liked this one, it started out really simple but it got complicated once you have 3 colors and multiple parts needing two hits
Have installed Unity on a PC. Can't get past first screen. Please advise. Thank you.

Worked on My XP machine.
New minoto been released days ago and it's not on this site?
Such a pleasant game, my brain really enjoys it.
Fun, relaxing game.
I finished all the levels but its kind of hard to tell....
I love this game. So addicting and the pleasant flutey sounds were nice, too. Thank you!
It was OK. Quit after about 20 levels.
Ah what a nice game. Very relaxing :3
