CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow, you got it!
Congratulations, adventurer! You have successfully completed every mission, applying engineering reasoning and systems thinking to overcome each challenge. By integrating all the resources you collected, you built the raft that will carry you back to the civilized world. May this journey mark the beginning of many new challenges, discoveries, and achievements ahead.
Once again!
Ouch!
Don't be discouraged, the adventure is not over yet! Take a moment to rest and try again. Remember every mistake is a learning opportunity that will bring you closer to victory. Cheer up, brave adventurer!
Don't give up!
