The mighty wizard Xor can kiss my ass!

First I got to rescue a damsel in distress. Ten times over!
Of course, she demands her lost treasure be collected in full before she'll leave the dungeon. Little brat.
At least there was a dungeon key to a loot chamber after each rescue.

And now, after all this Xor tells me the final prize is hidden in a way that only he himself can fathom. He locked himself in with all dungeon keys and the nibbles form the loot chambers and he's "working on it"...

Jerk. I hope he knows what he's doing.

Nice puzzles. Have a bump.

Edit: Level 7 took me way too long, for 8 I am too tired now. Maybe tomorrow.

10 is pretty easy, you only need to reach her remember there is no treasure and certain things only move when you are on the same axis. hope this helps

Dang, I wanted to cheekily write "Kilroy Was Here" on the final chamber's inner wall, but looks like I'll have to wait and see what insight Xor's research will give on how to use the keys first.

Xor keeps feeding his ego in his chamber. You hear him shouting 'XOR ALL THEM KEYS AND ALL THEM NIBBLES!'...
He's a maniac, I'm telling ya...

Huh. I was pretty sure I knew what Mr. Xor was doing but am apparently missing something...

No idea about BG3 but those were great puzzles. I have played similar game on Steam but can't for the life of me remember its name.

DROD games have slightly similar mechanics, so maybe those?

No, haven't played them. What is worse I don't know if it was some sort of minigame or a whole game was like this. Oh well.

It was a mini-game - I've lifted the mini-level-designs 1:1 - will post which game (and mini-game) it was after GA ends so until then folks can't google the solutions easily

Can you post solutions now? I couldn't solve Level 9 despite much effort and I quickly gave up on 9. Still a fun game though!

Well, if you like puzzles (especially hard ones), I heartily recommend DROD games. ;-)

I like puzzle games and have 1 from DROD series in the library. It is one of those where after watching gameplay video on Steam I still have no clue what's going on. But 300 achievements, they went a little overboard with that. :)

That's because three further parts were released as DLCs to the first one, weird decision and that's why there are so many achievements. However if you have the first part (actually a prequel - Gunthro and the Epic Blunder), it's the easiest one so it should give you an idea if you'll like it. Or you can try the actual first game (Architect's Edition), which is available free from their website: http://forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php

Breezed through this one with quite ease. Should be expected having done it before. 😈 Thanks for a blast from the past!
I still have to get to BG3, and as usual I'm stumped. I'll leave that for tomorrow, and for tonight:
Have a Happy New Year!

Happy new year, Terry Trill. For the last step Xor took all the keys, and combined all the nibbles... Hope he knows what he's doing...

all nibbles go in the order acquired into an additional 5-byte sequence

That would mean we only have half of what we need and god only knows where the other half is hidden. I guess XOR can keep BG3 lol

and putting them in order just gives error, not even gibberish just does not work

i thought i understood how to get the other half but not really, level 7 and 8 are out of bounds?
Decoding the original yield to at least 1 char, after assuming i found the other half, it's all giberish now πŸ˜πŸ€”
I will try sleeping on it!!

I swear I've played a game very similar to this but more retro-looking, but I can't seem to remember the name of it.

I enjoyed this puzzle game. πŸ‘Œ

I did the 10th level first and got the SG link (to a giveaway) for the 10th level completion.
I have done all the levels starting by 1st for 2 times but did not get any additional links (or anything else) after.
Then I started the game again in a new tab, where the level links were greyer/darker (not stated as completed by color), and completed the game once more.
I completed the game again in incognito mode.
I deleted my cookies from the website and tried it again.

I am not getting anything. I don't know. πŸ€”

But anyway, a very nice project. πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘

Also, Happy New Year! πŸŽ† πŸŽ‡
