LITS puzzles have 2 levels, crudely put: microsolving single cells from restrictions and macrosolving which shapes to put into large areas. This puzzle has both, which was nice. I liked the idea of the 3x3 boxes.

I got an appetite for Star Battle puzzles yesterday after I solved DarkMurad's new one. They're quite interesting when the star count > 1.

Maarten, thanks for the puzzle!

I know difficulties are always a very subjective issue, but I found this one to be rather easy.

I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but no one should be reading feedback for a puzzle not yet finished (or given up on!

).

This one has a single starting place that allowed me to fill the whole grid without doing anything other than straightforwardly avoiding 'connect fours'. Granted, you need to find it.

I was waiting for it to happen, connect4 creating a Disconnect Four puzzle.

Hi,

Maybe I'm just not clever enough, but I find the more complex Spiral Galaxies puzzles very hard to solve just within the applet. This is mainly because I'm missing a tool I tend to apply on paper: the ability to indicate that a cell is part of a certain galaxy without yet knowing the exact borders of the cell, if any.

Now, if it were possible to change the background color of cells, just like in for example, Country Roads, it would be possible to assign a color to a galaxy and mark cells you've determined to be part of that galaxy.

Thanks for providing a great site!

My current favorites: Fences, Spokes, LITS, Fillomino, Masyu, Hitori, Spiral Galaxies, Country Road.

Mostly shape construction puzzles it seems.
