If you're still interested,
I confirmed that the puzzle was solvable, and now it's been reset. A hint for the current version of the puzzle is the answer starts with "2941682...". You can see the most recent correct solution I submitted by looking at this issue: https://github.com/strawstack/strawstack/issues/32 and you can see the previous puzzle by looking at the commit history of this repo: https://github.com/strawstack/strawstack
I can give more hints if needed. No one but me (the designer) has ever solved this before, but I feel that the puzzle mechanic is not too complex.
Awesome game! I got used to the controls much faster than I thought, but the difficulty of basic jumping and shooting made the game much more engaging than a typical platformer!
One note, I had a pretty hard time sliding under the sword in the first level. I found I would still get hit by the sword unless I slid at the exact right spot. Also, the font color is a bit hard to read.
Good artwork and sound!
Also, the final level is really challenging and fun
