I don't understand what the video is saying to do he put the Z shape in Z and then the O shape in Z will that still work if theres other shapes in the wrong shapes, some of them make the blocks go up and down but they go back down and stay down

Oh, I'm sorry then. Thought the video would help with your problem.
I've bought the game 2 days ago, but actually didn't started it yet.

Also, seems like the steam forum wasn't helpful (yet) as well.

Maybe I'm giving the game a try over the next weekend.

I was able to do it thank you so much!! it just makes no sense how anyones supposed to figure this puzzle out by themselves thank you for the help!!

Hmmm, thought the video I've linked wasn't helpful?

Maybe I'm facing the same issue.
