Feels clunky and unpolished compared to the one from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection. Why pay money for "packs" of levels with preset configurations when you can just play as much as you like however you like elsewhere? It's a free puzzle. That's like trying to charge people for Minesweeper.

Simon's collection is awesome, I won't argue against that 😜 ... my version focuses on leaderboards & daily challenges. If that's not your style, you probably installed the wrong app. As a solo dev, server costs for those interactive features add up daily, which is why I can't offer the whole game for free. Thanks for trying it ✌️

biggest problem for me is that there's more than one solution that follows the rules, but only one solution is accepted. so it isn't so much about logical thinking as guessing what the setters intended.

Hi Ben! Every puzzle is checked by my super smart algorithm to guarantee only one unique solution. Usually, if it feels like there are multiple, a tiny error is hiding on the board somewhere. But if you can send me a screenshot proving multiple valid solutions exist, I'll happily give you lifetime free premium 😜

Fun game. The 0 squares should start off grayed out then light up if you place a light next to them., the way it works now does't follow the game logic.
