News and OldsAugust 27th 2021: Enigma 1.30 Released NEW!Dear developers, contributors, and friends of Enigma, In Enigma 1.30 we added several new translations (Bosnian, Chinese,
Japanese, Norwegian, and Slovene). This release brings some entirely new
game play objects as well:
forward floors, glass marble, st_inkwell, st_portal_glass,
st_document and st_pebble, leading to new types of puzzles and riddles.
On top of that we added 116 new main-pack levels where you may encounter some of these
new objects.
(Enigma now consist of a total of 1100 main-pack levels, plus 22 tutorials, 1119 sokoballs,
95 pentominoes, 268 dejavus, and 2 training levels; altogether 2606.) Have a fun summer Andreas, Daniel, Sidney, Raoul, Nobby, Thomas, and Georg December 20th 2014: Enigma 1.21 ReleasedWith Enigma 1.21, we concentrated us on adding further translations to Enigma (Croatian, Czech, Danish, Scottish-Gaelic, and Slovak) and updating the existing ones. We fixed lots of bugs and added 51 new Enigma levels from long friends and new authors likewise. Finally, Sidney found a way to compile Enigma for Mac, and thus we are particularly happy that Enigma returns to Mac! You can find Enigma 1.21 in our download section.
Thank you for that. And have fun! Andreas, Raoul, Nobby, and Thomas March 29 2014: The Score Evaluation Is Back.After a longer break we can offer again a score evaluation. In the beginning of Mai 2014 we'll provide up-to-date statistics and a new ratings file on the enigma homepage.
