I very much enjoyed this game.
I have not figured out bonus 3 or 4.

Those were super satisfying to figure out, though 3 was a bit frustrating. Small hints (rot13):
Bonus 3: Vg'f n funzr gung lbh pna'g zbir nal bs gubfr sebtf, vfa'g vg?
Bonus 4: Gur oybpxnqr arrqf gb zbir nf n fvatyr znff.

Got through bonus 3, nearly was finished with bonus 4 but accidently refreshed the page, still trying to get back through it

Okay, finally got through bonus 4. Here's some hints for Bonus 3 and 4 in rot13:

Looking for a good hint on Extra 3, previous hints are obvious but not useful
