Best puzzle game out there

I am not normally one for puzzle games but decided to try this one out, and found it was amazing. Great puzzles with a good story behind it, it made for a great mix of challenge and yet not making it too hard as to seem impossible. My only complaint is that the hints came too soon or were not welcome, and option to switch them off would be nice, as well as a seated mode that changes the player height to be taller so i can play while sitting down, as i sit on my floor when i play seated. Otherwise i would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes puzzles or wants a good challenge. SPOILER ALERT: i would say my favorite puzzle there had to be the sliding block puzzle, or the lock where you make a path for the gem to travel on. the board game section was a 10/10 too.

Great puzzler

A wonderfully crafted puzzle experience yet surprisingly challenging as you progress. Each level feels rewarding, and the difficulty curve is perfectly balanced. A must play for puzzle lovers

The final boss was a great character.

The game was awesome, and the story too, and I enjoyed it, especially the last puzzle to defeat the final boss, which was great.

GLITCHING BAD

Terrible I made it to the Big box of puzzles and could not get through it because it was glitching so bad could not move tiles they would get stuck would have to leave and come back. Tried to get a refund but was refused

RESPONSE: that's nice to know because the game was really fun until it wasn't. So I will wait awhile and come back around to it and hopefully those problems will be fixed. When they are, I will change my review in the future. Thank you for your response.

**UPDATE**
This issue has been resolved. We refined the sliding tiles mechanics to make movement feel much smoother and more natural."
=========================================

I’m really sorry you ran into this issue! It definitely shouldn’t be happening, especially around the second floor of the main puzzle (I think that’s what you’re referring to). We’re already working on quality-of-life updates to improve tile movement and interaction, so everything should feel much smoother very soon.

On the bracelet, there is a reset button for these events, to let a player reset a buggy event or just restart a puzzle without leaving the game.

Tammuz: Blood & Sand is currently in Early Access, and this stage is exactly for catching and fixing issues like the one you experienced. Your feedback genuinely helps us fine-tune the game before full release.

If you can, please join our Discord and share a bit more detail - or even a short clip of what happened. Our dev team is super active there and can help you directly:
👉 https://discord.gg/6CazRaUHch

Regarding your refund - we completely understand the frustration, but unfortunately, refund decisions are handled directly by Meta’s platform policy, not by us. We don’t have control over those requests, though we encourage players to contact Meta Support for any refund-related questions.

Thanks again for giving it a try, and for helping us make Tammuz better!

A reluctant 4... in a good way

I was lucky enough to win this on win this on Sidequest so I wanted to give feedback without having to give a rating, but the system doesn't let me. I'm aware that this is early access and it would have been 5 stars as it is a beautiful looking puzzler, but I am struggling with controlling it. I've read the reviews left by others, and seen the developers responses and realize that I didn't pay for it... but I can't give 5 stars... simply because I am having so much difficulty with wrong hits on the tabletop puzzle... it feels like I am randomly mashing a complicated piece of equipment as there is no indication as to which part of the hand should be used. I also had trouble with the earlier rotating cylinder but kept at it and managed. A bit more time with the piece we have selected being highlighted and available for adjustment would make a huge difference. The handling issues are my only problem and I believe that when this is fixed... and I trust that it will be... this will be 5 stars... I look forward to the updates and thank Sidequest and the developers.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback and for taking the time to share such a detailed review, we really appreciate it!

A new QOL update is no live!
The good news is that we’ve been listening closely to player feedback, and our latest updates have added several major quality-of-life improvements that directly address some of the issues you mentioned.
To name a few:
- Hand precision upgrades for better hit detection.
- Trigger button interaction that lets you lock items in place while interacting.
- Highlighted puzzle parts so it’s clearer which element is active or adjustable.

We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the visuals and atmosphere, and we’re working hard to make sure the controls feel just as refined. The full release on 1.12 will include even more improvements and polish.

Thank you again for playing and for believing in what we’re building, we can’t wait for you to try the new update!
