Great news, I have worked with SudokuPad's Sven to create custom ids for the Sudokuvania puzzles. For example, you can play Lineage of Logic at sudokupad.app/sudokuvania/.... Sudokuvania 2 is now updated to version 1.1, which includes...

The good news is version 1.0.2 of Lineage of Logic is already available! sudokupad.app/0dw3geb3vv?s... The bad news is it was needed to fix a boss puzzle that v1.0.1 broke. To make things worse, DO NOT play the Observatory boss puzzle from 1.0.1 (short id zs7fha4s95) or you will LOSE all progress!

Version 1.0.1 of Sudokuvania 2 is available here: sudokupad.app/jks1ipzelj?s... It addresses several points of confusion, changes away from icons not appearing to people using Linux, and corrects errors in two of the later boss puzzles. Full patch notes are on the Sudokuvania website.

Only one week until everyone can play Sudokuvania 2: Lineage of Logic! In Sv2, there are not only challenging boss puzzles (😈), but less difficult enemy puzzles (💀) which are an optional way to get a tricky digit. Fight as many or as few enemies as you want to finish your quest!
Bosses in Sudokuvania 2 are a smiling imp icon, while enemies are a skull icon.
