Hold Shift to put cross; hold Ctrl to move the grid with mouse; WASD to move the grid square by square; 1, 2, 3, etc. to choose cross and colors respectively

Fascinating! All levels clear. This game is freaking MASTERPIECE! I'm really excited. This game is probably one of the best game I've ever played. Thank you MoonberryStudios! 5/5

I just realized that I can use this line of reasoning:
"Among these 4 blocks, only 1 is colored brown, and the other 3 are empty. Suppose that, in the final unique solution, block A is empty, then block B or C or D can be colored, making the solution non-unique. Therefore, block A is colored."
This line of reasoning presupposes the intelligent designer of the puzzle is certain of the uniqueness of the puzzle solution.

great game, only thing I'm missing is an "undo" button. I sometimes click inside the game and forget to hold down ctrl or shift (nifty shortcuts, btw!) and then it's really hard to reconstruct what I did wrong...

The first Expert level blew my mind when the picture was revealed. The whole time I was playing that level I kept thinking I had no idea what the picture was. Finishing the level and realizing what the image was was a cool experience.

I find that the smaller multi color ones are harder than the larger single color ones. I thought the last 50x50 was easy (long, but easy)... these multi color ones in the last two tiers are givig me more trouble though.

@WoodenCheese: They're quite logical & doable without any guesswork. You probably made a mistake at some point, in which case it's generally easier to start from a fresh board than retrace it.

When you boast about making a 'colourblind-friendly interface' it's nice to actually make it colorblind friendly. Master 4 was perhaps the most annoying puzzle of them all. Light purple next to blue all over.

[spoiler alert!] Which of these puzzles were the best in my opinion? 25x25 "The garden Gates" ;-) . Even if they were symmetrical and you spotted it, solving them was still challenging and they gave me very much fun, trying to prove that "here should be green" or "let's suppose that that tile is not back, then we have this, this.. and this... and we have contradiction, thus we have black tile here" :D

Love this game, but could we get an undo button? It's hard to remember every move we've made on those times when we have to test an idea, but discover after a few moves that it doesn't work.

I love the feeling you get when you're stuck for a while then you find the spot that was giving you a problem, then solving that spot opens up another spot, which open up another, and you get to fill in a whole bunch of squares :). One of my favourite puzzle games on site. 5/5.

hint: if you are confused by the multycolor maps, put a cross on the numbers of the opposite color, you may find a path

A really great game. Here's a few simple tips:
1. Make sure to x out all the slots next to a completed number.
2. Count a number + all the x'ed and different colored blocks next to it if they = 9 you can fill every remaining box surrounding the number with it's color.
3.when ever you switch to a new color you can x out any different colored numbered blocks since you cannot paint on numbered blocks of a different color, it makes it easier to do tip 2.
Hope these tips help, and you all enjoy this great game :).

Here's a tip, go to options and click simple under display. Not only does it look better, but it's much easier to actually see the puzzle.

The only trouble is, if you make a mistake at the beginning, you've already begun to take the horrible road to frustration.

I really enjoyed the innovate yet simple type of puzzle in this game. It was like a mix between sudoku, minesweeper, and color by numbers. An amazing combination.

For those wondering what the hint button does;
If you click on it and then click on one of the squares in the puzzle, it will reveal the correct answers for the surrounding 9 squares (E.g. If it's coloured or clear). From what I can tell, these squares will stay permanently correct so that you can't accidentally unclick them and I'm pretty sure the hint is limited to once per game for those curious :)

Very nice game concept. And in contrast to "Minesweeper" you can't die - because there is no need to die. Does anyone remember having played Minesweeper for hours and then: one wrong click and everything is lost?! This game does not frustrate you like this! Well done! 5/5

it helps, when you just can't see any way to continue, to take your mind off it for a bit and do something else. then when you get back to the puzzle, you see something obvious. works every time ;) trying too hard gets your brain stuck in a rut :D
great puzzle game :)

Definitely love this game; the only thing I'd suggest adding is a darker background or bold X for the X tiles. Great game, took my time and completed every level.

Awesome game 5/5. But as many people said the last puzzle wasn't all that hard. I finished it in 20 minutes and then spent another 15 searching for what I got wrong xP
