I sat down and played this with my brother and having that extra source of input really helped to not get stuck in doing the same thing over and over again, I got stuck at some points obsessing over my own ideas and he helped break me out of it. This game gets super tough by the end, I needed a hint for four out of all levels played. I tried to avoid all hints and looking up anything involving the levels, I really did want to do this on my own entirely, though I doubt I would have been able to find some of the solutions or I was entirely stuck in my own ideas that I would have never broken out of.
