Yes, there is enough HP to complete it 100%, and no, there’s no max to exp you can have at once. I suspect the problem you had is that you used the heart scrolls too early on. Since they always refill you to max HP, they’re worth a lot more if you hold them until you have higher max HP. In particular, if you get to 0 HP and you have enough exp to level up, you should always do so rather than using a scroll.

I finally did the same. My advice for anyone else who tries: make sure you know all of the patterns, and pay close attention to the number of remaining monsters of each type. In my run, I was just barely able to find the gnome in time (0 remaining hearts and not enough XP to level), by realizing I had accounted for all of the odd-number-power monsters except for the guardians, so a 7 clue next to an even-numbered clue let me safely open the overlap.

It’s actually only one gnome. When you click on him while there are still any empty unrevealed squares, he’ll teleport away to one of them. Once there are no more such squares, you actually catch him and get his 10 XP.

You don’t need to save the dragon for last just to get a full board clear. You can keep going after you kill it and get its XP as long as you don’t click the crown that appears where it was.

That’s why I usually kill the dragon immediately once I get 13 hearts for the first time.

The problem is that gamelib.js calls the getImageData() method on a canvas that has data loaded from an external image file, which falls afoul of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/getImageData#exceptions and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Defenses/Same-origin_policy#file_origins when the game is running from a file:/// URL. To work around this, either set up a local Web server and then run the game through localhost, or go into gamelib.js and replace this block of code:

                    let r = (colorMultiplier >> 16 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let g = (colorMultiplier >> 8 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let b = (colorMultiplier >> 0 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let imgData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, cellw, cellh);
                    for(let i = 0; i < imgData.data.length; i += 4) 
                    {
                        imgData.data[i + 0] *= r;
                        imgData.data[i + 1] *= g;
                        imgData.data[i + 2] *= b;
                    }
                    ctx.putImageData(imgData, 0, 0);                

With this one:

                    ctx.fillStyle = "#" + colorMultiplier.toString(16).padStart(6, '0');
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "multiply";
                    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h);
                    ctx.fillStyle = "black";
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-atop";
                    ctx.drawImage(img, frame.rect.x, frame.rect.y, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h, 0, 0, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h);
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";

That can only happen if you do not use any health refills until you’ve […] cleared out all mines.

There’s actually a little bit more leeway than that: your first health refill needs to be when you have 11 hearts, and you can get to 11 hearts by clearing only the first 6 of the 9 mines.

13 is indeed the theoretical best possible. Playing 100% optimally in cheat mode (getting the egg, gold chests, and gnome very first thing, getting the mine king and all the mines as soon as you get 10 hearts, and not touching any brick walls until the very end) that’s all you get.

I ran into a soft lock bug on Patters Hill. On day 5, there were five people left alive, and on night 6, three of them died, leaving only two alive (both Soldier claims) on day 6. At this point, I just kept getting offered the “Go to sleep” button over and over again, without anyone else ever dying and without me ever getting a chance to shoot. I kept clicking it until Night 21 before I gave up.

I think the maximum theoretical score you can get while saving those three is 325 (since you need the heals that Romeo and Juliet drop to be able to clear everything else).

I got a game that didn't have a unique solution. The Five of Spades was the victim, and here's what the rest of the cards said:

• Four of Clubs: There is no card above me. The figure of the card below me was diamond.
• Three of Diamonds: The value of the card above me was higher. The figure of the card below me was heart.
• Eight of Hearts: The value of the card above me was lower. The figure of the card below me was spade.
• Jack of Spades: The value of the card above me was lower. The figure of the card below me was diamond.
• Queen of Diamonds: The value of the card above me was lower. There is no card below me.
