If you cant outright guess it by now I'm going to be very sad.

Also the next room is not quite ready due to it being larger than this one but still having to fit in the same viewing space.

Really? No...ok here I'm going to literally give you the solution because we've been trapped in here for a while, but if you open that and dont facepalm at your totally missing it, you cant give suggestions anymore.

What exactly was the purpose of the pentagon?

The star numbers all have them in their appearance...I thaught it the MOST solid clue to them...but I might have overestamated its strength of connection to star numbers.

Really I put this puzzle here as the easiest, I thaught this would be a 5-6 screen solve... dwarves must be bad at maths.

This is a total guess, but try entering these numbers until it unlocks: 133773181337433541661937

Actually, the puzzle wasn't obvious, you used several pentagrams but neglected to show a hexagram. Not only that but the clicking definitely threw me off. Most of those weren't even star numbers, but were actually centered pentagonal numbers. I'm thinking there were too many series and combinations. Loving the illustrations though. I pick 1-31-51-141-181 (Prime Centered Pentagonal Numbers). Could we know the password length?

Star numbers are HEXagons.  The ceiling had a PENTagon...

The notion of centered pentagonal prime numbers was rather obvious.  I dismissed it because the first of those numbers is 31, which you appeared to have ruled out.  I alluded to this fact a day ago:

Knowledge that the answer is not the list of centered pentagonal prime numbers
Which should have made it rather clear that you were misdirecting us.  For the clues you'd given us, I'd already solved your damn puzzle despite the misdirect of thinking that the answer started with a 1 or 11 when in fact it started with a 31.  And then you call me stupid.  >:(

It should be obvious why I used it as a password to the twelfth digit of its primes.
Yes...anyways first forum game, dead horse and all...time used to finish layout and next rooms.

Frankly going back to change the entire game because I messed up the difference between hexagon and pentagon, is rather ostentatiuos of me and tedious to actually do.

I'm all for number puzzles, but changing the ENTIRE game. Really? I would personally include work-arounds if you keep the obscure mathmatic references. Just in case no one gets it.

Well, might as well open that door.

I might not be around much for the next few days, so don't feel shunned if I don't post.

If you fail to give your players an idea of what the puzzle should be, it's not their fault for not getting it. You really did just give a bunch of numbers and assume we would research prime numbers until we magically figured out the exact variant you were looking for. Solutions should either be made up material presented within the game or based off of combining public knowledge with material presented in the game; or alternatively, if you're going to have a lot of puzzles which require people googling around until they find something they hope is an answer, you should have established that earlier. As another alternative... don't make your answers so exact and unflinching, and be willing to edit the solution requirements if the players are obviously not anywhere near to getting the answer. I feel like you showed us a picture of a baby kitten and expected us to guess "Garfield."
