Fairly easy but still a very enjoyable journey. Thanks!

Lovely set of puzzles. The theming was great and the knight's move rule tying them all together was really neat.
None of the puzzles were that difficult, but there was some neat logic in there. The last puzzle especially was really cool and thematic, I loved that one.
(Though I have to say, why must knights always kill the dragons? Why can't we just befriend them instead?)

This was a brilliant response to the prompt. I love so many things about this set, here's a few of them:
- Love the aesthetics, just simple and subtle use of colours to create a pixel-art kind of impression of different landscapes, rather than overloading it with artwork or emojis. Classy
- Nice simple story that is just enough to provide some flavour but without being too much where it becomes a bit distracting or annoying to read it all.
- Very simple rules that were easy to grasp, and inuitive to use. Love the core rule which carries through the grids... I hadn't seen this before and thought it was very fun, and satisfying how it was a pivotal part of each solve, interacting nicely with the standard line types. This rule is exactly the sort of 'unifying feature' that I had in mind when I set the prompt.
- My favourites were the desert and the dragon's lair. Really slick use of fog in that last one. I found water and mountains pretty easy but still fun. For me the hardest one was the first one!
All in all, a really solid piece of work that I think Simon should definitely have a go at

I loved the theming here and the final puzzle was particularly well-crafted and very satisfying.

Although I lost my way in the barren wastelands, I just managed to escape and slay the dragon. Region sum was my fav :)

Lovely series :) I had a big troubles with the renban one. The rest was very intuitive to solve.
