Woah Tyler, so happy to see you play our game! Absolutely love your editor's bits :D We hope you enjoy the weirdness of the end-game hehe. Happy holidays from the dev team, Ferran & Blaž. Thanks for trying out LOK Digital!

I love it when a game makes you speak complete gibberish

[CyanWatercress]

nice try alienslok we already know you’re an alien

[littlefloss._.]

I can just imagine his neighbours going " why the hell is he talking about "lok" and "tlak" or something?"

The editor marking with red sqaures the one you're refering to.
After monthis I can adfirm that this channel has the absolute best editor.

i have to say, the game is cool, the puzzle book itself is a whole other experience. figuring out what the words and mechanics did without any input of what is right or wrong other than just "this level is possible, this level is not possible" is just so special

[one-shotting almost every puzzle] "I feel like I need more practice with this still."

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING THIS (but it makes complete sense). I haven't played Lok myself but the guy who originally designed the physical book for Lok made a puzzle book called Abdec that I am obsessed with. Unfortunately it doesn't adapt to a video game as well but maybe some day.

They have a book version that's a little bit harder because you don't have the QOL indicators for what the words do.

All I can say is that this game gets a bit wild later.

That said, I am a bigger fan of ABDEC (by the same creator). I'm sure Tyler already has it on his list, but for those of you who have not heard about it, try it out.
Its free to download the PDF of the first 15 puzzles!

As a russian speaker I deeply thank the editor for the Kia joke.

Your best commentary is always on the games that make you think, like this one and polybridge, rather than games that make you react, like vampire survivors. I'd love to see you make more episodes of this game

[secretmeister]

OMG the i wanna lockpick reference, the editors get more and more advanced

[reneepark]

Props to the editor for a Brian David Gilbert reference

Found a solution for 5-7:
Be the blank into a K
Lok using the new K, locking the K on the 3rd fork
Ta the A’s
Using the rightmost L, create an Lok going backwards into the second fork, locking the X on the bottom of the second fork
And finally, using the L in the first fork, create a Lok going downwards and right to the last K, lock the X

this is the easy mode. The book gives no confirmation if you solved a puzzle, doesn't show what anything after TA does, and is designed in a way to incentivise playing levels out of order

[GenTheFurredArtist]

Honestly, this becoming a series would be so awesome. Love this game to bits.

[thanguy]

super awesome for you to finally play this. one of my favorite puzzle games ever made

[WiffleWaffIe]

So happy to get Lok get some attention! It's a great game!!!

[Chryss_the_Crystalball]

FINALLY, ive been waiting for you to play this game!!! people barely play this so it'd love if you turned this into a series!

[mrharvest]

This could make a fun esolang. The order in which you need to select the words determines subject / verb / object. The spatial position of the word on the grid could also encode information
