False Flag

I will recommend this game but with a disclaimer- if you can't figure out a level in like 5-10 minutes then look up the solution. A couple solutions make very little sense, and there are 'red herrings' that waste your time. To the point that during my playtime I rage quit a couple times.

'False Flag' is a short puzzle platformer where progressing through each level requires understanding how every situation works rather than following standard platforming rules. It features a save system after each puzzle, 20 puzzles spread across 20 levels, hazards such as falls, fire, and traps that play a key role in solving puzzles, and 3 Steam achievements. The game took me about 10 minutes to complete, including unlocking all achievements, and it offers a single ending with a convenient save feature after each level. The simple gameplay makes it accessible to players of all skill levels, with clear instructions and a straightforward objective: solve every puzzle. Considering the overall challenge, along with the ability to retry or reset levels as many times as needed, I would rate the difficulty a 2 out of 10. 'False Flag' is built around the idea of challenging the player's expectations. Each level introduces a new concept, encouraging experimentation instead of relying on traditional platforming mechanics. The puzzles focus on observing the environment and figuring out how each situation works. Some solutions are easy to spot, while others require multiple attempts before…

Why is there a "take a hint" option if you cannot select it?

Cant really play some levels without a guide. Several require you to do quite specific things with zero clue, often standing still in a particular spot. Fake floors arent fun, particularly in a level that requires speed and doesnt reset upon death so you have to wait to start at the right time.
