Wow thanks for this, kentona. Very professional and well-done, and thanks for "most fun" award. I agree with Dec that my puzzle wasn't very polished, but I enjoyed partaking anyway!

EDIT: Ratings for each puzzle:

Jude - Filter Circuits 4/5 simple, short, effective.
kentona - Settlers of Kentan 4/5 deep gameplay, fun, lags a fair bit.
GreatRedSpirit - A Thing Happened 1/5 basically pull a few switches, no strategy. frustrating.
Avee - Deadly Invaders 2.5/5 dodge game diversion.
Rachael - Mirror Cavern 3/5 good mechanics, fun game but needs more challenge.
thatbennyguy - Keying In 5/5 A+++ best game ever would do again.
Liberty - Ancestry 2/5 good mapping, but needs good puzzle component.
Bobhostern - Avoision 0.5/5 kinda too basic and simple. wasn't included in game
Gibmaker - Tile by Error 4.5/5 very well designed, magnificent mechanic. mind-boggling fun. best puzzle of the lot.
Marrend - Drawcab Monks 2/5 confusing and hard to understand. also the solution is too simple.
Caz - Chappy and the Intercom 3.5/5 great mapping, good boulder-pushing component.
Hexatona - FLASHDUEL 4.5/5 extremely fun, great replayability, if only a bit slow to navigate throughout menus and hard to pick up. but once you do pick it up it's addictive.

I hear you, benny. Though, knowing the base material makes my puzzle horrendously easy. Not knowing it makes the puzzle more convoluted than it needs to be.

All right, I've played, or at least tried, all of these. Here's my commentary on each puzzle.


"Filter Circuits" by Jude
I really like this idea. I mean, I've seen light-based puzzles before, but combining different colors to achieve your goal isn't something I've seen often. Maybe I'm playing the wrong games, though.

"Keying in" by thatbennyguy
I'm not sure how the spikes work the way they do, but it's an interesting puzzle all the same.

"Ancestry" by Liberty
The mapping is top-notch. Anything less would be uncivilized. Though, I'm not sure why, but I expected something more complicated? I dunno. Whatever.

"FLASHDUEL" by Hexatona
I'm not sure I completely understood the rules when they were being spouted, but I managed to eek out a 3-1 victory. It was fun enough, though, and that's what counts!

"Tile by Error" by Gibmaker
I didn't even realize what those dots at the top represented for a little while, but I eventually got the gist of things. Saying that, Darigaaz, I hated this so hard, it's not even funny. I managed to get up to five dots before I rage-quit out of sheer frustration.

"Chappy and the Intercom" by Caz
This puzzle has an odd Portal feel to it, thanks in part to the the intercom (Or whoever is on the other end of the intercom) making commentary before and after each puzzle is solved. The intercom is no GLADOS, but it serves it's purpose in making this more enjoyable than it would be without the comments.

"Mirror Cavern" by Rachael
I really liked the execution of this puzzle. It made me think of the section of the Final Fantasy 6 ending with Gogo mimicking... whoever it was that he/she/it/whatever was mimicking. Man, it's been too long since I've played FF6.

"Deadly Invaders" by Avee
This one was a bit difficult for me. I was trying to focus on the movement patterns for a while, to see if there was some kind of opening I could abuse, but it just didn't work.

"Settlers of Kentan" by kentona
To be honest, this is what I was most interested in playing. No, more like, this was the game I was most interested in understanding how it came to be. At any rate, I'm used to playing until 10 points, and not having a turn limit (Not that I win at Settlers of Catan anyway), so this was a challenge. I noticed that I couldn't access the ports at all, so that made life as a Settler a bit more difficult than it needed to be. Still, I managed to eek out a victory from this, though I made a screenshot before I made my game-winning move in the case that I came across a game-crashing bug.

"A Thing Happened" by GreatRedSpirit
Finding the right switch combination was a challenge. Outside of that, there isn't much else I want to comment on.

"Avoision" by Bobhostern
Oh man, I totally got that demon trapped behind a wall, and just waited in one spot 'till the timer ran out. Kinda lame, that tactic. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I'm not particularly keen on having that demon so close with the map's start-up event.

"Drawcab Monks" by Marrend
Oh man, this guy. This guy! He seriously needs to be thrown out into the street and shot for this. You don't even know. Sarcasm and other joking aside, I really don't have much to say about this puzzle that I haven't already said.

Yeah, in my testing of Settlers of Kentan, I originally had a 30 turn limit (arbitrarily chosen) but decided late in the development to change it to 35. I changed the TEXT for it, but forgot to change the code. Oops.

Anywho, you need to have a settlement next to the port to be able to use the port.

Anywho, you need to have a settlement next to the port to be able to use the port.

The version I downloaded made the ports inaccessible. You can't walk on the pier to interact with the ship. This wasn't a problem in the test version you sent me before compiling the entire project, though.

oh crudmuffin.

I had vaguely heard of Settlers of Catan but had never played it. I had the advantage of kentona explaining the game to me in IRC as I was playing it. I assume he setup the nodes based on probability. I haven't actually calculated it myself, but I imagine the general goal is to distribute commonly used resources like ore and grain so that they activate more frequently across an even settlement spread than something like brick.

Welp, here is a patch for the impassible ports and the turn count.

because this is THE NEXT GENERATION!

(real reason: because I wanted it to be Ace)
