^-^ So how does @aberrategame.bsky.social work?

You split, move, and combine red and blue boxes to power doors, stairs, platforms, and odd office machines!

Deceptively simple! But with puzzles that gently rise in complexity as you progress.

WINNER of our May Play of the Month is “villa1tez” for this incredibly creative back‑spin shot that delicately sets up the game‑winning black 🎱

Deceptively simple, but our judges loved the vision and positional play. This topped the table with a huge 46/50.
