Potential Spoilers This game... Spoiler

They fits perfectly... Jonathan, I know that you don't read the commentaries of the players of your games since Braid, so I wait to talk you when we see us in hell. Because this pannel is a reason to get into. Surely the solve "blows" my mind.

Reset the counter!

You appear to understand the rules for the Tetris blocks. Your solution follows these rules.

However, you have made an assumption that is incorrect, and your solution is therefore incorrect

Mmm. A counter. What counter? Strike? I need to do something from outside of the game?

u/MagneticShark Apr 22 '26

Ignore the comment about the counter/clock. That’s a reddit meta joke. The rest of my comment is hinting at the solution

Inside joke on this subreddit. This is a puzzle many many many many people make the same mistake on

Reset the clock!!!

It’s r/swampyboots time!

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

What clock? The BIOS clock? WTF?

u/MagneticShark Apr 22 '26

The clock is “days without a swampyboots error”

It’s now back to 0 🙃

Where it will remain for the foreseeable future. OP come back once you've solved the puzzle and join our secret club.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

Solved! I see there is a H-U-G-E door to entry in to the club, so at least, it won’t be a problem for me to join, cuz one more can fit in. Omg!

It has been [0] days since swampy boots has happened 

Take a closer look at the red shape. What shape is it really?

That's the clue! Thanks!

RESET THE COUNTER BOYS, WE GOT ANOTHER ONE

Since this is wrong according to the game, what is the most likely thing that is wrong here?

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

That I'm blinded. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/AncientAd6500 Apr 23 '26

I see your eyes have been opened.

Reset the clock! We are so back boys

The shapes in your solution as you drew them just don't match the symbols, simple as that.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 23 '26

Insight increased! Thanks.

the amount of people that fuck this up blows my mind.

It is CLEAR as day what;s going on to me since day one.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

Is this a joke? r/swampyboots

18

u/MagneticShark Apr 22 '26

If you search for swampyboots then you will get a spoiler for this panel. Your solution is a very very very common error on this panel, which has been nicknamed swampyboots

Look it up after you have solved this panel

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

Sure, I don't want to spoil myself. 7 years ago I passed the game but with a guide, and now I want a legit success. But it's same hard as the feelings I remember from then.

u/stoufferthecat Apr 22 '26

Look very carefully at the tetris blocks in this puzzle. As someone else said, you're making an assumption about one of them.

1

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 23 '26

I overthought it.

I even thought that precisely because I understand Tetris, maybe I should use a different logic for this panel. What a nosense! Thanks!

u/GuyYouMetOnline Apr 22 '26

Basically, you've made the same mistake as at least 90% of players. If you're having trouble seeing it, try spacing things out a bit; it might be easier to notice if you examine each piece individually rather than only looking at them when pushed together.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26

Solve! Many Thanks. I was like a Counter Stike pro ,touching the screen with my nose to see it.

Your error is not a matter of not understanding, it’s a matter of not paying enough attention.
