Pathfinder
A downloadable map
Find the path to victory. A pen & paper rule discovery puzzle game made in 2 days when I came up with the idea randomly while playing other puzzle pdfs.

Inspired by xxuurruuii, whose "Overblock" gave me inspiration for the main idea behind this puzzle.
I recommend that you use a pdf editor to play. (I myself use PDF Expert both to play and make these puzzles.) I hope you enjoy it!

Looks awesome but why the solutions are 5 time bigger than the whole game lol
good question! that’s partly because i wanted the format to be consistent (i.e. have the same number of puzzles on each separate page according to the original pdf)
another reason (spoiler warning) is that i wanted to keep the main twist a secret from players that look at the solutions before discovering the mechanic. “Overblock” by xxuurruuii actually uses this method to get the message across too! that’s why there’s a repeat of the whole puzzle in a different order in the end haha
