  SOMEONE ACTUALLY DID IT!

  The one whose solution I accidentally lost?The one I then spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to solve myself?The one that eventually made me give up and issue a public challenge to all of you?WELL. SOMEONE SOLVED IT.Meet 人见人爱花见花开鱼摆摆: The Fish Beloved by AllAbout a year ago, I challenged the Astra Ignota community to solve the final bonus puzzle. The prize was eternal glory, a place in the game's credits, having the puzzle renamed after its conqueror, and a small mystery prize.For fifteen months, nobody did... Until now.The Fish tells me he has been working on the puzzle for about half a year.Six months! On one puzzle!Now, as promised, I have updated Astra Ignota accordingly:The Fish Beloved by All now appears in the game's credits, and the final bonus puzzle has been renamed in honor of another nickname of our hero:THE SHAMELESS PIRANHAI have also sent our victorious fish a Steam gift card, because after spending six months fighting one of my puzzles, frankly, some form of compensation seems appropriate 😅But more than anything, I want to say thank you.When I made Astra Ignota, I hoped people would enjoy the puzzles, get invested in its strange little story, and perhaps remember the game after they were done with it.I did not expect someone on the other side of the world to spend half a year refusing to surrender to a puzzle whose own developer had already surrendered.That is completely insane, and I absolutely love it.Congratulations, The Fish Beloved by All.You win.⚠️ SPOILER ALERT ⚠️Final puzzle solution below, as provided by the Fish himself.Keep scrolling at your own risk!

  Unsolved Puzzle Challenge: Beat the Dev at His Own Game

  🚨 The Final Puzzle Is Unsolved So here’s a fun pre-launch challenge for all you puzzle lovers: I accidentally lost the solution to the hardest level in the game, no joke, and now it's just sitting there, mocking me 😅 It was originally part of the main story, but it turned out so difficult I had to move it to the Bonus section, which normally only unlocks after completing the game. With the full launch just one week away, I thought: why not turn this into a fun community mystery? The level is available right now via map import (both in the free demo and Early Access), so anyone can give it a shot. And yes, this is real, I’ve even mentioned it somewhere in the forums before... 🎁 Rewards for the first person to solve it Your name in the game credits! The puzzle will be renamed after you! A small mystery prize! 🕹️ How to play Copy the code below to your clipboard (Double-click it and then Ctrl+C): 2Tka0xun0utv0a0i0b0c0d0y0f0b0i0bg1aj0ze1ebng0UA0QA0MA0IA0EA0AAWASAOAzcda1la0U0M0M0M0E0M1hy1l0a1ar1G0M1K0MO0MK0M0l0i0s0h1mjz0mhyr0kqzejajare0hC0MU0Ca0llc Open Astra Ignota Press Play → New imported map 📬 How to submit your solution Send a screenshot of the completed map to: xavi@qojat.com 🧭 Tips for New Players If you've never played Astra Ignota before, I recommend starting with the tutorial levels first, as they’ll teach you the basics of symmetry and galaxy growth. Also, as you progress through the main story, you'll unlock powerful tools like the range finder, which can be extremely helpful for tackling the more complex puzzles. If the challenge level feels overwhelming, it might be worth playing a few chapters of the main campaign first to get your bearings. Good luck, and may the best galaxy brain win! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44786525/77c812b1137b435ce3eebe975cdce715a716dd5f.jpg
