I absolutely loved this. I printed out a copy for my mom (who is also a fan of puzzles) before I was even finished. She laughed out loud when she got to 6. The dwarf planets clued me into to most of the tricks (I like astronomy), and 9 is the first puzzle I totally completed, but I didn't actually figure out what the bottom clues were until I only had puzzles 1, 2, 11, and one word of 3 left. Puzzle one definitely gave me the most trouble, but it took me longer to realize that puzzle 2 was also zodiac, (which was hilarious). Everything came together so beautifully at the end. A wonderfully crafted puzzle.

Loved the clock puzzle and the diagram behind the painting. Quite satisfying puzzles! I also spent way too much time just looking at the torn engineering pad reading the different equations. Looks like a piece of scrap paper I would have kept on my desk in university lol.
I did misread one clue (va gur zveeberq pbqr, V gubhtug gur sbhe jnf n avar), and actually ended up brute forcing two codes because of it (one intentionally, the one I misread by accident when I went to revisit it). Ultimately not too frustrating because it was obvious what I had done when I saw the accepted code and found the clue I was missing.
I also wasn't able to plat the game in fullscreen mode because the left and right edges of the game got cut off (the right arrow almost entirely gone, so just about unplayable in full screen). This would be the aspect ratio of the game just not matching the dimensions of my screen. Not sure if that's something you can fix (or even care to fix, I was perfectly happy playing the game not in fullscreen), but I use firefox if that makes a difference.
Found 'em all! Simple mechanic executed nicely. I like that you can only move backwards through previous words. While I found myself wanting to jump to previously found picture words, the ability would have removed a lot of the challenge. Having to try to remember how I got to one picture word so that I can change one letter for a new picture word was frustrating at times, but rewarding. Really great selection of words to find :)
