I played with these for a while. They were fun repetitive little puzzles that didn't make my brain hurt.
I found the site and clicked through to find ... more nice little repetitive puzzles that _wouldn't_ make my brain hurt if the <expletives deleted> who created them hadn't decided that the humans *really really _needed_* a fancy video game handheld backdrop and little audio clicks and chirps whenever you press a button, each one of which exacerbate my pounding-but-only-stabbing-with-auditory-stimuli headache.
And provided ZERO settings controls to turn them on and off.
(a) I am not here for their self-gratifying "ooh, it's prettier now, and listen, we made a soundtrack!" bullshit. I am here for the puzzles. The assumption that people who like to solve puzzles need auditory feedback when the button has been clicked is WRONG. People who like to solve puzzles need buttons that take actions that enable you to eventually solve the puzzle. That's it.
(b) They have made their puzzles unusable for me.
(c) There is NO mechanism to contact the creators and complain about this bullshit on the website. The only contact mechanism is the set of social media icons at the bottom of the page. No, I am not joining a Discord or X and having to cope with random feeds of garbage I'm not interested in just to tell you that you made a bad design decision that could easily be fixed.
I HATE that complaint mechanisms are now "air your dirty laundry in public".
