Color choice is really bad on some puzzles! If you have a dark color with numbers that shade out to a lighter color and pair it in a puzzle with almost the same shaded out lighter color (ie. the top right puzzle on the journeyman levels), you have a really crappy hard to do puzzle because you can't easily tell what corresponds to what unless the puzzle is empty.

Good game, but got too annoying once the puzzles became too big to show the numbers properly, even more so on the levels with the light grey colour.

I really like this style of puzzle, but I find the lack of color-contrast very frustrating. Gray numbers with white backlighting? I can only play one puzzle a day as my eyes hurt from all the squinting by the time I solve it.

For anyone else who got stuck on the bottom left master puzzle like me for ages, the grey numbers in the 2nd column (1,4,4) and row (1,6,2) are restricted to a smaller area then you think they are because there are black numbers in the 10th column and 8,9,10 and 15th row which 'stick out' and so the grey numbers can't be put there.

People who like this will like Super Mario Picross for the SNES a lot aswell. Although it's in Japanese you don't really need to know it to play it.

I really like this kind of puzzle, it's enjoyable, interesting and challenging. This format makes it really difficult in a bad way - hard to see the list of numbers when you need them and they cover the puzzle when they pop out, and you forget they are hidden so it's easy to screw up. Really needs a bigger window so you can see the complete list of numbers without it intruding on the puzzle while you're solving it.

Idk if it is for anyone else, but the game is bugged for me. I select a level and the game freezes up. Sometimes it sounds like the puzzle opened but I stay at the level select, sometimes it just freezes. Just letting you know

A great game until you get to the grandmaster levels. Even fully zoomed out, you can't work with the larger boards unless you move them around. But moving them is clunky, since the game pauses if your mouse pointer leaves it. The numbers also tend to get in the way, and the color can be hard to make out over squares that are already filled.

i love this game and the others you have made that are like this. my only issues are that: a) i need more! and b) i have trouble seeing the silver and gold colors and also differentiating between the black and purple. Thanks for all your hard work!

Edit: the second last puzzle *of Journeyman's puzzles* seems to have no logic solution; feels like you have to guess there... anyone's got an idea?

Hm, the second last puzzle seems to have no logic solution; feels like you have to guess there... anyone's got an idea?

A well done example of one of my favorite types of game. Just wanted to say that sometimes the colors do not provide much contrast - I'm not colorblind, but the brown and the purple on the last Journeyman puzzle (the potion) are really hard tell the numbers apart. It's kind of important.

The third Grand Master puzzle appears to be mathematically impossible to get hardly any information on. Not even enough for What If to reasonably figure anything useful out.

Often I run into a state which is not accepted but with every number disabled... for exemple http://imgur.com/YRCMT3T

the concept of these puzzles is fun... unless you go about auto correcting people while they solve and just give them the answer, plus the medal is useless considering they can just go back after solving and make the pic from memory for a timely completion... seriously tho, giving me the answers really ticked me off. give me a way to turn that off and this would be a great game :)

good game, but somehow i found an alternative solution at the second last master level. all the numbers are grey, but it doesn't finish :(

@HamaChu Except when you realize that each mistake adds to your total time. If you're just here for the puzzles and not for obsessive compulsive medal collection then it's easy by just clicking all over.

I don't know if it's just me, but the puzzle seems to be playing on it's own. When I click a square I get the color or the x-mark depending which one is right. Instructions tell me that I should only get the x-mark with shift+click. I can just click on the squares and the game fills them correctly. Not much of a challenge there.

I love these kind of puzzles. My only problem is that they are addictive. Can't solve a level one day, come back the next and it's cake
