I ended up muting the game and bruteforcing these puzzles. Armikrog is an adventure game that may appeal to some with the animation style, but it largely consists of quirky and confusing puzzles and progression that make the game difficult to manage. Two last things that made this game absolutely annoying for me were: final puzzle when you had to return to every octopus-y thing to figure out passcode and puzzles with fixing this stupid rotating toy when you can't hear the melody because of a crying baby. Also, even though this game has almost completely static graphics it takes about a second or two to load each scene which is outrageous on a device that has 8GB of RAM.

There are some hidden controls you have to figure out for yourself (X to change characters, LB+RB to rotate center piece in locks) that make it slightly less painful, but since I discovered them at the very end of the game (there is no controller maping or on-screen tips) they didn't make it any easier for me. 'smart' cursor that snaps to clickable objects actually makes things even worse.

'smart' cursor that Creators couldn't have been bothered with making proper console port, which makes it absolutely disgusting to control. Creators couldn't have been bothered with making proper console port, which makes it absolutely disgusting to control.
