I'm thinking everyone that reads and posts here got the same email, so I'm likely wasting my time, but on the off chance anyone here didn't get this email from BundleStars, I'll post this here:
MERRY CHRISTMAS GAMERS
Here's our present for you! To say thank you for being a loyal subscriber, we've got a FREE copy of Penguins Arena: Sedna's World for some Christmas fun! No strings attached, just a gift from the Bundle Stars team to you:


MHOWQ-VULTW-VWWMZ

I have encrypted the code in a very, very simple encryption and below are the hints necessary to decode the encrypted game code.

1) There are four Whole numbers in the code, and they are, in order: 0605.

2) The first, third, and fifth characters are the same letter.

3) The second character is the letter "F".

4) The ninth and last characters are the same letter.

5) The 4th and 12th characters are the same.

6) The eleventh and fourteenth characters are the only two unencrypted characters.

7) The sixth character is the letter "P".

8) The eighth character is the letter "D".

I hope everyone knows their ABC's...

Nice puzzle! I'm suscribed to bunlde stars since a year maybe but I didn't receive anything. So it was a nice chance to try your puzzle

I tryed AFA0A-PBDC6-V05MC but without luck.. [mistake ]the number 6 must be replaced, I know :P [/mistake!] The 5th clue only seems to confirm the first one.. Seems hard and challenging. I hope somebody else enjoy trying to decrypt it and my try could be usefull for him

Thank you so much for your giveaway. Merry Christmas to everyone! I will try one more time anyway :P

Good luck. And yes, the 5th clue reinforces the 1st one, in a couple of ways.

If you need another hint, let me know, although for all I know it's already been claimed. (Another thing I hate about Steam, I can't tell if/when a code I've gifted has been redeemed like I can here at GOG).

Thanks! And very nice GA by the way hahaha. I am enjoying it.

I don't understand, ... the encrypted code is for the game.... But anyway, do you mean an additional hint for those characters or did you miss the already given hint for them???

I will give another hint for them,. I just want to make sure we're on the same page and you already saw the given hint regarding the 9th and 15th characters.

Yeah, i know it is for the game which i don't want, but i am having a bad time playing between Crysis and Dead Space on hardcore difficult in order to get those PS3 platinums, so i am pretty bored with plenty time ahead D:

Hahaha, anyway, i want an additional hint about the 9th and the 15th character, please, since i think i have all the others right. Again, i THINK.

EDIT: Will PM you what i got this far, so i don't spoil anyone who try to get the code!

Oh-KAY, let's try this then..... The fact that they are ninth and fifteenth characters are important facts to consider when unraveling this encryption....

Hmmmm... Not following you, but will keep thinking about that.

With most basics hints in first post, i think this should the starter structure:
X F X 0 X - P X D X X - V 0 X M X
Always removing the checkmark in the send me email box is not without disadvantages.

In any case I almost had a heart attack while checking my email, there were 7 messages about orders from amazon when I did not buy anything there lately. After a few seconds I realized they were about the free Android apps I "bought" this afternoon.

Yeah, maybe it's harder than I thought. LOL, it's always easy for the person doing the encrypting.... :)

I've got another code here for the same game from carlosjuero (who got the same email and like me wasn't interested) so thank carlosjuero and Bundle Stars for this code, for the same game (for which a link is included in the OP)

MFSQG-CMLGL-MFFMA

Hints:

1) The same basic encryption is used for this one, in the opposite direction.

2) There are four whole nuMbers, and they are, in opposite order, 9-9-7-3

3) The 4th, 6th, 9th and last characters are the only characters that are unencrypted.

4) The third and tenth character are the same letter.

5) The eleventh and twelfth character are not the same.

6) The second character is the letter "H".

7) The eighth character is the letter "T".

In addition to knowing one's ABC's, it sometimes helps to write them down....

I have my doubts about the 6 and 5 position since there are 4 W :/

Yes, this is a correct interpretation of the direct hints.
I am glad you made this thread. Thanks to you I double checked my emails and found they had sent me a code for the game as well :)
