1-4 does NOT have multiple solutions. You can't swap the 5's on the right as it would cut off the corner 3. Read the rules before saying they're being broken.

Never mind they all seem to have multiple solutions. I don't know why people are excusing this, it's lazy programming.

From the rules:
In addition, shaded squares must not touch each other veritcally or horizontally
Your very 1st solution, very 1st 2 numbers, 2-5, has 2 shaded numbers horizontally next to each other. So, the very 1st 2 numbers you put broke the rules. Please read the rules 1st.

I has this game rated 2/5 because I hate it when puzzle games have stages with more than one unique solution but only count one as right. Replayed, came to see I was in fact mistaken. 4/5, and apologies.

I find the multiple solution issue way too annoying to be overlooked. I love their games because you can always find a solution with logic. Right now I'm staring at a complete and UNDOUBTEDLY CORRECT solution I came up with, but still it won't accept it.

I think you shouldn't use circles for white squares, because checking for errors just shows the solution. Try to fix that, I don't know, just checking for wrong black squares.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The instructions don't actually give me any sort of clue what should be shaded, circled, and clear. Am I expected to know what the goal of the game is beforehand?

The most surprising thing about these games is that on EVERY SINGLE ONE there are people complaining about multiple solutions, yet I have NEVER encountered one myself.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A LOT of these have multiple solutions, but only one is accepted. Would be a lot better if either of these were fixed

I don't find the puzzle itself at all appealing. There just seem to be too many rules so it all just feels contrived. And the implementation suffers from the usual Conceptis user interface problems.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think I've played a few of Conceptis' other puzzle games, but now every one I try to play doesn't load. On the loading screen, a pencil (loading bar) shows up and fills up most of the way, but on every single game, it stops ~1 cm from the end. Same spot every time. Anybody know a solution to this problem? (Private messages encouraged)

I didn't know this logic puzzle, it's quite amazing. There isn't too many techniques and patterns to solve this, so basically it's pure logic.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I was wrong, it may seem. I forgot the black squares not touching rule, and thought that my previous statement explained the working solutions.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
An unsaid rule is that you must solve the puzzle using the least amount of shaded blocks possible. Also, you must circle all unshaded blocks, which, while annoying, isn't that bad.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
annoying since I've found multiple solutions that fit the rules but aren't accepted. add in having to circle all the non dark ones and this deserves 2/5

Rules say numbers can appear in any row or column no more than once. That seems to imply that numbers could appear no times then too. But it seems a solution is predicated on identifying unique numbers (ie, numbers that appear once and only once in a row/column crossing) at the beginning of each game. Am I wrong in this?

2 things :
- if you just want to win fill all cells and click on check and change all red cells ... ;-( check make those games too easy. But it help too.
- is there really 1 solution or I haven't understood all the rules ?

5 for this game. Finished almost all Conceptis games for now, except Mix Sudoku vol2. Waiting for new harder puzzles, particularly Hashi.

They did respond once, saying they didn't have the time to change the puzzles, as they are busy on other things. I'm just happy they're moving their games over here, despite the majority of commenters here complaining about the same minor details over and over again. I'd rather they worked on putting out more levels and books on their main site, not on stuff that would cost them a ton of work for something that would save me TWO SECONDS.

Ignore me! I just noticed the comment that all cells must be filled. Most binary determination puzzles only require the "false" cells to be marked, this requires the "true" cells to be marked as well.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Once a puzzle is completed, isn't it supposed to list it as "Solved in xx:xx:xx" in the new game menu? It's just listed as "Saved" and doesn't state whether it was solved or has errors (no different from saving an erroneous solution).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Rate it 2 because it has the same flaws as every other games before. What's the point of giving comments if they don't read them ?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
They have not listened to what we want them to change for 10+ games, why would they start now? There will be no "next" button when the puzzle is done. :(
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Every iteration they put out they are told to end levels instead of having to come out of them and then go to new game, etc. Yet to change. Otherwise, this is a bit of the usual fun.
