Bootstrapped

This is a game about solving puzzles based around the idea of puzzle elements powering/activating themselves on some way or another, resembling a loop.

Inspiration

If you've ever played Portal, Antichamber, or Manifold Garden, then the Inspiration would be obvious. I've basically made my own Manifold Anti-Portal. The puzzles where brought to my attention with this video and I've always liked the concept but unfortunately, not many people know about it so there are not many good puzzles built around it. I just hope to get more people in the know and on the band wagon!
