@toombler very nice game, I have one fun suggestion/idea (rot13)

why doesn't this have the puzzle tag? I see you put a lot of tags on this, perhaps you forgot.

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot to pick the puzzle category (if you’re in the puzzle category itch recommends not using the puzzle tag).

there are non-puzzle puzzlescript games you know. like that virus sim someone made. The intentional lack of a puzzle tag on a game like this would imply that it is more of a story-game.

I really liked the idea ..it's cool , unique and feel good to play

great game !!

alright, i really have no idea what to do for level 5.

use what you learned in previous levels. unless this is the first level with that mechanic, then use what you learn from experimentation in that level.

the same can be said about many puzzle games.

Ok, what is the secret to level 7 other than just brute force?

The intended trick is (rot13) gnxvat n arrqyr sebz n fcrpvsvp gerr fb gurer vf n tnc oruvaq n yvar bs gerrf naq lbh pna qrfgebl gur yvar.

I think once you understand that logic to some extent, then you can brute force it if you're not sure where to apply that logic.

Oh man, I love these games and I've got to L7 but there seems to be no rules..  there seems to be no consistency in the early levels in what determines whether a monster can see you or not - sometimes one tree is enough to block view, sometimes they can see thru 2 trees.. In the later levels swords can do different things in different places - I discovered that in L5 but it didn't help in the solution (which took me a ridiculous amount of time to get to).  I then screamed thru L6 without even trying but L7 has got me stumped (pun intended! ha ha). Is the secret that there are (almost) no rules, it's all just random and you just gotta keep flailing away until you find the key to each level?!
EDIT: Ah! I've finally figured out THE SECRET that hadn't made sense when someone had hinted it earlier on. Chop chop..
EDIT 2: A level select (once completed) would be great - to be able to go back and replay
EDIT 3: L8 was silly easy after all that headscratching
Awesome game series - thanks for all your work keeping me entertained while I have no work! 

Thanks. I might try add a level select but the fork I’m using doesn’t support it so it’d be a bit tricky.

Stuck on scene 7, I can't figure out how to reach either of the monsters on the left.

e: OK now I got it. Nice game!
