Holy ****, I'm in. Thanks a lot for such brilliant puzzle!

nice one, dude i am so glad i found it and not wasted so much sleep time for nothing

Finally! I had to redo my notes because they were so messy. I've got to replace my scribble sheet, it's full of notes from the many other puzzles.

Mistakes I've made:

• not finding 'leitmotif' as the musical object, even though I should have clicked on the link - I was too focused finding something different (stuff like 'theme' would rather catch my eye)
• game genre - initially going for 'Graphic Adventure' or 'Puzzle', eventually messing up capitalisation (Adventure)
• not counting 0 as z, meaning that I ended up with Vzna2.
• taking On Stranger Tides as the inspiration for Monkey Island (according to Gilbert himself), which turned the initial V into a U.

Great puzzle Jade! Kept me going, frustrated me a bit, but in the end it was rewarding and hopefully well worth it. :) Also thanks zombie for the giveaway as always!

Finally! That took far too long! I can't believe I forgot to count the zero when going in the negatives... ended up with z like Hisuichan (glad I'm not the only one). Also was not quite sure whether to include "Disneyland's" at 3.

Anyway that was fun. Thanks for the puzzle jade and thanks for the game ilzombie :)

GREATT Puzzle

I made 2 major mistakes,firstly i thought the mathematical object was cirlce,but then googled it and found out

And BEFORE the hint was given for the monkey island i thought the game was Super Monkey Ball :P

Thanks for the giveaway ilzombie :)
