Hello Steamgifters! :)

I would like to present something I've been working on for quite a while: A whole new level of making Puzzles and sharing SteamGifts giveaways - sWords Puzzles!


sWords Puzzles are part of my Game of sWords project. I believe many of you have played at least one of three Games of sWords (one, two, three) before and know what it is :)


Playing sWords Puzzles has the same feel as playing Main Game of sWords, but Puzzles are unique in a way that they totally focus on exploring, solving puzzles, finding clues and revealing secrets... AND, they can be made by anyone using sWords Editor!


Each of you can now create your own unique little world with your own rules: full of secrets, dangerous monsters and, of course - treasures (private giveaways). Make your dungeon, share a link to it and let people explore it and solve its mysteries to find the hidden treasures!

It is a really enthralling and exciting way of making giveaways! There are lots of creative ways to design your dungeon. Constant exploration, search for hints and clues makes puzzle solving engaging and fun!


Check out the "Introductory Puzzle" to see what sWords Puzzles are (and find some treasures).

A huge thanks to Paprion, MonoTheKing and Dr3w who helped me test the Puzzles and sWords Editor!


Get sWords Editor here and look through the Editor Guide to learn how to make your dungeon!

Join Game of sWords Steam Group to learn about all the updates and share your thoughts and suggestions!


The project is constantly being developed, new features are added based on your suggestions - so your opinion matters a lot!

Note: Even though both Editor and sWords Puzzles have gone through the thorough testing stage, you still might encounter minor bugs which me and testers haven't noticed. Please let me know about them and they will be fixed asap :)

Have fun!

@EDIT3 Some glitched enemies did not appear because of a bug, so, Server fixed them and were readded to their rightful spots. If you find some enemies where there weren't any before, that's why. And yes, it's EDIT3 because I deleted EDIT2 :)

Great to see sWords becoming something even bigger each time it visits SG, and very honored to help creating sWords Puzzle as a tester!

I hope everyone takes a liking to my first map on the editor. >)

@EDIT for training my formatting skillz

I'm pretty sure the answer for number obsessed monster #1 is wrong by 1.

I think i'm bugged now though. I'm at X6Y2, pressing go east and always end up in the same square. I finally found the water locket but cant access the door. :(

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot and didnt notice the "You need more energy to try and open this door" message.

Any chance for a hint for '???' The riddle leaves me clueless after three days. And I've already checked everything in the dungeon.

Hmmm, alright. After opening the Sky Locket Door, you don't have to use any EP to find the code to the second chest. You must watch out for something odd. Maybe the comments of the first gib may help you. :)

btw, sorry for not answering earlier, I was sleeping since your post was made 3 AM here lol.

Got stuck on western phrase. Lost some HP. Clicked "restart current puzzle" thinking maybe I'd get my HP back and to try again. Wiped progress without confirmation. Red x button.

Good otherwise. I'd like room transitions to be a tad quicker, but no major complaints other than the above.

Found a "mistake" in the intro puzzle, probably intentional, but it hurt...

That's nice Server, will test it tomorrow.
Already have some idea for a puzzle, now only hoping it is viable with the editor. :P

I'm going to have to redesign my map, the one I created before is 20X18Y.
But I'll make it work. :)

Ow, I see! Yes, the max size is 15x15, which is still lots of available tiles - 225. I believe I will allow multiple levels in the future.

The 15x15 is actually big enough for puzzles, too big and you might get into energy problems for all the people that want to check everything. :P
Although that is avoidable with big energy pool and/or fast energy regen.
But I was able to fit my map.

Glad to know you managed to fit your map! Hope you haven't had problems studying the Editor :)

So far so good, it is easy to understand. Just have to remember which button/mouse combination is what. :)
You might have to change the treasure link inserting box.
Now that steamgifts is https, if you copy paste the link for a GA it won't work since it is too long with the extra s.

Oh, right! I haven't even noticed it. Thanks for the heads up! The Editor will update with this fix next time you run it.

Tutorial was amazing in design and execution, I like the overall balance of everything, the amount of tools that puzzle creators have to work with should make for very interesting giveaways in the future (hopefully enough people will be trying it out). And thanks for the great giveaways and all the work you put into sWords over time, it's been great to follow you then and now!
If I'll ever bother to design a forum puzzle giveaway, this is no doubt what I will be using.

Cool. I'm doing two of the games simultanously and it's a bit too much, especially that I;m tired... But I just CAN'T stop! It's so MUCH fun!

Thank you Server and all involved :)

If you're talking about my map, both have chests, one of them has more valuable chests than the other. Now... which? Look around~

I unlocked the entire map and couldn't pass the other locked door. I know what the white carvings said so not sure if I missed something. Missing 1 last locket :(
