Octoquadri Pack (volume 1)
(Eingestellt am 27. Dezember 2024, 22:11 Uhr von The Book Wyrm)
This is the first part of a collection of puzzles I have created using the octoquadri ruleset invented by
Analytical Ninja. I set a bunch of these puzzles across several months because I found the ruleset interesting, and once I had enough I collected them into a pack. I'm now uploading the pack here, split into 4 parts roughly according to difficulty, each containing 4 puzzles.
You can download the full pack
here.
Here are the links:
Garden Path
Grill
Mortar and Pestle
Island Fortress

What a treat! These are like canapés, each of them delicious in its own way. Together, 16 of them make a very satisfying meal. Thank you very much!

Adjusted image to only include the puzzles in this part of the pack, added rules to the LMD page, and added links to the other parts of the pack.

please 1) post the rules here (I do not want to click on each link just to get the rules), and 2) don't show puzzles unrelated to the solution, i.e. show only the first 4 grids here.
-----------------
I was mostly following the format of a similar pack I'd seen (ID=00HSU) for this, but you make some good points. I'll update the page with those changes once I've posted the last part, as I was planning to update it then anyway.
