PUZZLE / WEB-NATIVE

Gjallarhorn.

Drag Norse gods from your hand onto a board of giants. Attacks and powers change the health and positions you have to work with, and the level ends when no giants remain. Gjallarhorn provides 26 puzzles plus a separate level editor.

Count health before using a card

A god or giant whose health reaches zero moves into the grave. Read the health values before dragging a card onto the board. A move can remove one target while changing which pieces remain available, so track the resulting board as well as the immediate damage.

Use reset to compare whole sequences

The creator explicitly encourages trying another approach and allows skipping through level-selection controls. When a sequence fails, identify the point where you lost a needed option, then reset with a specific alternative in mind. The goal is clearing every giant, not merely making the first attractive attack.

Keep editor sharing separate from campaign progress

The editor saves its level state in the URL so a created puzzle can be shared. Its number keys set cards, Shift plus number keys change health, and Esc or X erases. That documented URL behavior concerns custom levels; it does not establish cross-device campaign synchronization.
