park_84: Solved it and got the game, it was on my wishlist :) Thanks for the giveaway, truhlik, I've had fun solving the puzzle.
Customarily the claimer of the prize at least briefly describes the solution ;)

For those of us too lazy to actually work it out, but who are curious nonetheless!

(p.s. Congrats on solving and getting a game you really wanted!)

Congrats park_84 and enjoy your prize!

I was afraid a bit that this GA got abandoned, since those who solved it didn't claimed prize and no else was interested in.

PS: Just noticed, that I lost my third star yesterday:( Damn you, you eternal downerpper.

It wasn't really that hard and the hints make the solution quite straightforward, by converting the numbers to binary you can get a pixel art with the actual code sketched in it ;)

Just, as an addition:
_Remove the letters, then treat everything that remains as one number per line.
_(This is the mistake I initially made) If there are not enough digits in the binary number (i.e. less than 19), add leading zeroes!!

So the numbers in decimal become:
489335
82241
223095
82964
489335

And in binary:
1110111011101110111
0010100000101000001
0110110011101110111
0010100010000010100
1110111011101110111

This way you can see the first numbers of the code: 3E252
(in case you still don't see it, attached is the code with 1's highlighted.)

Continue like this with the remaining lines.

The reward is Gobliiins

And I'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank truhlik for the great puzzle!

Congrats to park_84!

I was very much out of time this week, and since I had already done unspeakable things to that bunch of numbers without getting anywhere, I pretty much gave up on trying to solve.

Cool solution, though. I tried the binary thing pretty early on, but never "aligned" the numbers properly, so nothing much came out of it ;)

Thanks again truhlik for the cool puzzle :)

Ah fuck, I knew it had to be something like that. I was playing around with binary numbers in Notepad for ages, trying to make them align in such a way that they formed letters. No matter what I tried, it always looked like nothing :| Turns out that I was doing text to binary, rather than decimal to binary >_<

Anyway, it's good that I didn't get it - I'm one of those people that think Gobliiins is an awful game.

Ah, thanks. That's the step I was missing.
