Bonus puzzle #3 - ARCHERY TARGET!
"After an unsuccessful foray into developing new building materials, the Matsuzawa team realized its wood fiber composite was perfect for use in archery targets and dart boards. Thus, the sporting goods division was born!"

People mostly focus on The Wall in the north. Let's give some love to The Wall in the south, it is at least as impressive in my opinion 🏰 Kudos to Rowan 👑

Trying this again to get the GIFs to work...
I wrote about Kaizen: A Factory Story, a new puzzle game I'm really enjoying.
This is the former Zachtronics team, who decided to have mercy and make an easier (but still captivating) game about assembling things

Weekly bonus puzzle #1 - SUPER DEFENDER BOT!
"Taking note of Defender Bot's popularity, Matsuzawa released the Super Defender Bot in 1987. It added shoulder-mounted cannons and button-activated sound effects, testing the patience of parents across the world!"
