METANOIA is a minimalist puzzle game where you move from shape to shape, pushing and pulling the ones around you. However, not all shapes are created equal. Learn the patterns, discover elegant solutions, and help the circle answer existential questions of a geometric nature.

About
Metanoia is a short narrative-puzzle game about pushing and pulling shapes. Shapes interact in ways that reveal patterns, and those patterns will weave together as the puzzles become more complex. Along the way, you will learn that not all shapes are treated the same. If you are able, you will find out why, and perhaps help a shape along the way.
Features:
24 levels designed for a 5-7 hour experience
A hint system to allow you to enjoy the game and story without feeling stuck.
There are only two mechanics:
Activate a shape - the filled in shape is activated, and can push and pull shapes attached to its sides.
Move a shape - only shapes attached to the activated shape can be moved
Different shapes provide introduce new utility, which increases both options and complexity.

There is a certain level that you MUST REACH to. It is completely mindblowing. This is stephen's sausage roll levels of crazy. Probably 5x harder. I'm not a masochist so I'm glad the hint system existed and allowed me to experience it without any of the frustrations of staring at a level for hours.
Intricate puzzle design with an unassuming but well built narrative. The puzzles were fun and increased in difficulty in an appropriate manner. Personally, the epiphany moment in the midst of a hard puzzle and how the narrative ties those epiphanies together are what stand out for me. It's thought provoking enough that you definitely walk away from the game with something more than when you started it. Would love to play more games like this. UPDATE: finished the game. Puzzles only get better and better. Great finish.
I loved the minimalist setup and seeing complexity emerge from the simplest of elements. The puzzles are well-made and fun to solve, but also contain moments of intrigue and reflection. Metanoia feels like a gem of a game. Highly recommend :)
This is a really fun puzzle game, reminds me of baba is you, though a lot higher difficulty curve. its easy to play on the go and to pick up to play for like 5-10min if you have a short break. game has well designed visuals and smooth gameplay without compromising on the actual fun. would highly recommend anyone to try
Very simple geometric mechanics become very complex very quickly. It's fun to figure out the mechanics and leverage the skills/patterns in later levels.
Deceptively simple ruleset that turns into some real headscratchers Vibey music to really lock in with Super satisfying "Aha!" moments when you realize you're just a few moves out from the goal Would recommend!
An extremely cool puzzle game, once you reach the later levels, something absolutely mindblowing happens and is probably one of the best and coolest puzzle moments I've experienced to date. Also, this game is actually quite hard and I'm still struggling (no I will not use hints, and I might not ever finish the game). Highly recommend for puzzle fans!
Interesting concept. I was on a roll at the start with just the squares, but as soon as you start throwing different shapes, the same rules still apply, but the complexity and difficulty becomes 10 fold. If you like puzzle games, especially ones that become difficult fast, definitely give this a try. There's hints available, but we don't play puzzle games to use hints, we play for the one moment the solution clicks after hours of struggle. We play for the mind trap we dig ourselves into, until one simple move finally hits us, and the hours of running through the failed solution over and over is solved. Thank you for those moments of accomplishment, but also for making me question why I bought the game.
Great puzzle game. For someone that hasn't played many sokoban type games, this really pushed my interest. Metanoia really makes you think through its complicated puzzles, and it feels really rewarding when you do end up finishing each puzzle. They do a great job teaching and introducing new mechanics through trial and error. If you do end up feeling lost, there's also a hint system too. There's a twist that happens in the puzzle that really intimidated me, but most, if not all find fun and challenging. Definitely worth the 5 dollars. Looking forward to whatever they may put out next.
this game is really satisfying to play! The feel of manipulating the puzzles is super clean, as is the overall aesthetic. With regards to the gameplay, there's a surprising amount of depth and difficulty that comes from the basic simple concept, especially after a certain "evolution" of the concept that occurs in the third act. it's a great challenge!
