PUZZLE / WEB-NATIVE

The Maze of Space Goblins.

Pilot a flying saucer through a room of colored space goblins. Matching three or more of one color removes them, while collecting every star completes the puzzle. Moving a piece therefore changes both the matching arrangement and the routes through the room.

Treat matching as a route change

The creator combines Sokoban-style movement and match-three removal. A removed group changes the room you can navigate. Before completing a match, look beyond the pieces themselves and check whether the cleared cells help reach a star or the correct side of another movable piece.

Plan the standing space

A destination can look useful while the required pushing position is inaccessible. Trace the saucer’s approach to the piece before committing the push. This spatial check gives the matching mechanic a different role from an ordinary tile-swapping board: your own route matters alongside the colors.

Use the stars as the completion check

Removing goblins is a means of changing the board. The documented completion condition is collecting every star in the room. When a match looks satisfying, check the remaining stars and accessible corridors before deciding that the puzzle is nearly finished. Undo is available for comparing a different removal.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
