The Variety Box
Solve the puzzles and challenges of the Variety Box to gain access to the content of the vault !
In this small and simple puzzle game, you'll play golf, pinball, mario, and many more ! Good luck !
This small project was a way for me to get working everyday of my vacation. I worked 3 hours each day, and finished the game in about two weeks. I'm pretty proud of myself, even if it's not much.

I think this is a neat idea, but there needs to be a bit more feedback and also contrast on some of these puzzles. I had a hard time picking things out from the background, including the little puzzle pieces that got spit out as I randomly clicked around. Everything is so small! As it stands, it's a literal pixel hunt.
I think there were also some triggers that were broken. Some of the letters on the right side lit up when I clicked on something, but it didn't feel like there was any correlation. Really confusing and hard to understand what I was supposed to do.
Many people told me the same thing, so I tried to address these critics by updating the game with some adjustments. The game should be playable now if you'd like to give it another go !
Uh, the only thing I could interact with was the dial in the centre, and I just rotated it a few times left, a few right, then a few left, and it opened, saying "thanks for playing." I don't understand what I did and I don't believe I solved "the puzzles and challenges."
I figured I'd go see what Mozai missed, and my answer is: a puzzle piece. At some point while clicking and dragging in an attempt to make anything other than the dial happen, I accidentally picked up a puzzle piece; I have no idea where it came from. I think there's something missing here.
Yeah, I forgot to make simple checks, and the end puzzle was a freebie... I fixed it now, and I also added a few QoL adjustments. If you want to give it another try, it should be more enjoyable now
