Fantastic presentation on a puzzle game that, while I'm almost certain I've seen it before, feels pleasantly fresh. The only complaint I have I managed to find a workaround for while writing this comment, which is that cinema mode doesn't work properly unless you right click and select show all. A couple of recommendations I have is that it would be nice with the option to always show the sum next to all the answer boxes and to add a keyboard shortcut like shift+click as an alternative to lock numbers instead of holding.

Just finished my third "endless" level, and I can say with certainty, whatever algorithm makes those ones, it is NOT guaranteed to be logical to only one solution. The one I just finished had at least four possible solutions. To wit: (1,1); (1,2); (6,1); (6,2) were all 4's. I greyed out (1,1) and (6,2), but I could just as easily have greyed out (1,2) and (6,1) instead.

Pretty genius game. Like sudoku, there's a way to easily solve most. Start with the shortest path, largest numbers. Count up the total of the numbers in that row. See how much you need to subtract, and which combinations of numbers make that subtraction possible. Also, for the smallest numbers, you can just remove any number that's larger than the row's supposed total.

I'd love to have it show the current total of each row of lit numbers, and the difference between that and the target.

Some of the puzzles have several solutions, but with few numbers available through deduction. You need to solve it by trial and error when 80% of the numbers are still remaining: ragequitting, here I come....

Ah! I see it's the locked vs. unlocked. I don't know why I didn't see that before. I've been playing this for a while!

I haven't quite figured out what the wider vs. thinner line around the eliminated numbers means. I assume one indicates a wrong choice, but I haven't figure it out and I'm in the middle of a puzzle and don't want to quit it to test the theory on an easier puzzle!

I read the instructions panel after completing the badges. Knowing I could lock numbers would have made it a lot easier.

Just because i want to unlock a tile doesnt mean i want to exclude or include it.. in a complex grid this leads to confusion whether or not i had it selected. I Think this should be fixed otherwise great game *thumbsup*

I really love this game..even downloaded it onto my phone. But I agree with Pip that it would be nice to have a different colour for "guesses".

2-4 8x8 can still be figured out with logic without guessing, more steps are indeed required. Sometimes if I miss one intermediate step, I have to restart the level again because the sequence is very important, but it makes the game more addictive.

All the puzzles have logical solutions until you come to 2-4, once you've exhausted the logical options you have no choice but to guess, thats a serious flaw in a puzzle game!

When unlocking a number, it also immediately toggles the number. To work around this, click and drag cursor outside of circle then release.

Day 4: Finished the badges (You know, the whole reason for coming here) within the first few hours or so. Somehow I'm still here playing exclusively on endless. Up to level 200. My life has become forfeit to this game. Send help.

Kongregate, why are you suddenly reseting my progress every day?! I will never get these badges at this rate. Regardless, I will keep playing, because this game is both challenging and entertaining.

Endless 37 was the one that stumped me for a good long while, but it does have a logical solution if you stare long enough. Where's everyone else managed to get to?

Brilliant game, seems tough at first but when get the logic right it is very satisfying, Beeps suggestion of a "reset all except locked" button would be a big help (so +1 on that suggestion)

When unlocking a number, it also immediately toggles the number. Something I was not planning to do while unlocking. (it also attempts to toggle when locking, but since the number is locked, it does nothing)

i think that the hardest level is 8x8 in 2-4: at some point you remain with no clue (and multiple solutions) so you have to try different combination.
On the other hand i found 8x8 in 1-19 way too simple!

before doing wild guessing, you can try comparing how many circles still needed to be removed horizontally vs vertically

I accidentally went in without looking at the instructions. It was so intuitive that I got the hang within seconds. Kudos to the developer with a great game w/ great aesthetics and gameplay
