    Cool idea.
    Only crits are that the puzzle is too difficult for the time required and it's also too small. I understand that you need to be able to show the walls closing in. I wonder if there's a way to make the puzzle area larger without compromising the effect...

    When I first made the room, I hadn't figured out what to use it for . then after applying the walls I thought of using a puzzle and to solve it before the player get crushed.... I made the puzzle and didn't want the puzzle to be too small which it would be if I placed it on the wall in this image:


    So I increased the width of the room to give more time for the walls to close in, and brought the puzzle wall closer... I too think the puzzle is (just a little) small, but not too small. When you have learned where the pieces should be, it's just a matter of how fast you will be to get the best score. I solve the puzzle everytime I play as I have had to solve it many times to bug test every aspect of the game.

    I'm running at 1280x800 and it's not that small, atleast not for me. It's ok. But play the game a few times and you'll get used to it .

    Fun, very fun. I really like how the walls close in. Puts a little bit of pressure on. After I looked at what the Pharaoh's eye was supposed to be, I was able to put the puzzle together. However, I never would have known I could flip the pieces if I hadn't read your post. You need to explain that. Also, after completing the puzzle once, I didn't really feel like going back to complete the same puzzle. Maybe you could add different puzzles.

    I thought about having different images to puzzle together everytime you started the game to make it harder... but one image (the eye pyramid) is enough... so I also though about adding levels, when the first puzzle is complete, you move forward to the next room to solve the next.. but nah.. as this will be a "submit you best score" game, more puzzles or levels is not necessary. People will play it again and again for better and better score.

    The game is not 100% complete yet and I will add an instructions section.
