How to Make a Great Puzzle Game

one of my favourite puzzle game creators is Everett Kaser games... http://www.kaser.com/

HoneyComb hotel being my favorite!

The games have been around for a long time, and seem to be updated for modern platforms. But the website is still a blast from the 90s, and the graphics are joyfully 90s amateurish :)

One of the interesting things he did was invent his own language, and virtual machine for doing his games.... http://www.kaser.com/kint.html

Honeycomb Hotel took a short while to figure out how it works (in particular I didn't realize the puzzle isn't considered solved until all walls are placed), but it's quite addictive, thanks for that.

Any others of his that you would recommend?

Thanks for the recommendation! I downloaded it on iOS and have been really enjoying it.

The controls took a few minutes to get used to, but the included documentation was superb.
