I guessed the URL, but found nothing on it.

I'm guessing the flag may be in the rest of the message to be decoded.

Check the pngs across the domain. There is something special in at least one of them.
Already checked them out, for EXIF data, visually and also inverted colors. What I am missing?

I scrapped and downloaded around 55 pngs.

Yeah, I found 55 profiles/pngs. Tried ordering the profiles by the image # (from 2 to 56). Noticed the profile names are also a variation of two emojis, so tried looking into binary/morse, but nothing.

As the comment above implies, it seems like my approach was wrong and the answer is in one of the images I guess

I might be going the wrong way with that then. Using stegoveritas I noticed that PNG has a bunch of "ISO-8859 text, with very long lines, with no line terminators" files which isn't normal for PNGs.
If you'd like to whine a bit with me, join me at: ##ctfcompetition @ freenode, I'm currently under the nick caulifl0wer
I checked the pictures a lot of times, maybe I'm missing something.
