Of course, you always have to use the "if I have 5 empty spots in a row and 1 X remaining, it must go in the middle" type of logic to keep things flowing...

The 6x6s and (most of) the 8x8s can be solved simply by avoiding 3-in-a-row and following the logic. For the 10x10s, when you feel stuck start double-checking the rows and columns for potential identicals. You *never* have to guess, though sometimes it feels that way. Often a missing pair of spots has to be O-X instead of X-O to avoid making an identical row/column.

Oh awesome. Another one of these games that I have to grind through mindlessly for the easy badge. They just go on for too long for me, and it's painful.

I really like the game, but is hard to concentrate on the board with the rows highlighting because i naturally rest my mouse either to the right or at the bottom. Could you create something that turns off the 'pinning' if needed?

@wryyy: In 6x6 puzzle #4, the second row is the same as the last column, so I suppose the rows and columns can be the same, so the "difference" rule only applies to columns to other columns, and rows to other rows.

Conceptis, I don't know how many times I have to tell you to add music to your games. You don't listen, that effects your rating.

Saw the game, recognized the dev from past games and jumped in with both feet. Finished the first lvl puzzles and started into lvl 2 and wondered if I was missing something - it seemed like a lot of trial and error. THEN read the comments, THEN read the rules, THEN it became a fun puzzle (went back and did everything the "right" way). Looking forward to more!

I don't like how some of the level 3 puzzles have more than 1 solution, but only 1 is counted as correct. It can't be solved without testing which alternative is "right" through trial and error

I don't get the rules for this game. I managed to fill the first grid with even balance of items & no duplicates & it tells me there are 10 mistakes. Why?
Here is the grid:
xxxooo
oxoxox
oxooxx
ooxxxo
xooxxo
xoxoox
The instructions are really not clear & there is no examples of logic to solve this. Sorry conceptis, but this is your worst puzzle to date.

Just got a double solution on the very first 10x10, you can swap the middle cells of the very top and bottom columns and it's still valid.

@kirayamagami; every puzzle has exactly one solution. If you think you have more, check for double rows or collumns because one of your solutions is wrong.

All puzzles can be solved without guessing. Keep in mind that there can not be 3 X/O's in a row, there are an equal number of X/O's in each row/column (3/3, 4/4, 5/5 depending on the size of the puzzle) and no two rows or two columns can be the same.

Every single puzzle is solve-able by logic. If stuck, pin a column and check it against the others. It will change the highlighted colour if the column is identical, giving you another clue was to how to solve it. Can be done by checking without the pining, but the built-in tool is helpful.

And when I posted that previous comment, I did it without realizing that the interface in this game has been revised from the initial release version.

Favourited. Five stars. Rarely does a logic puzzle like this come along. It would be nice if you could put a small x or o as a placemarker, in order to work through a possibility. (hoping that makes sense)

Would be nice if the cells are that set at the start had different shading so user knows which ones they are at a glance.

Important for anyone trying the "guess and check" method, or solving in general: No two rows or columns can be the same. So, before you say your solution is "correct", check for repeat rows and columns.

Another success for Conceptis. I've never seen this logic puzzle before so it's nice and refreshing. Easy to use interface as well :)

You can see if a line is correct because it shows green when you did it right, and wrong when its not right, meaning its pretty easy to beat it without logic, and just trying out different solutions, quickly checking if they are correct or not.

why is there only one acceptable solution? I had the puzzle solved as the rules stated and nothing..... and the instructions say nothing about red and greens.....

Are all rows AND all columns(that is, for 6x6, 12 sequences of x and o) different? Or all rows are different and all columns are different(but some row may be the same as some column)?

I'm not really into this kind of game, so I got bored rather quickly, but I do realize how well made and creative this game is and I did have a lot of fun playing as long as I did, so I say good work 5/5
