Puzzle with more than 1 solution

[Dargoth]

So far, in Easy, Puzzle 51 has 3 solutions but will only accept 1.

Yeah you are not the only ones. I completely regret leaving those puzzles in now.

[Dargoth]

Bah, you could isolate them from the rest or modify one pixel to remove the ambiguity. You shipped and got on steam, that's great in itself! And those that work are fun! One patch is not that bad...

Haha, sorry. Although, Steam is super cool about updates. You could probably pull them or swap them out pretty effortlessly.

[FroBodine]

Yeah, just pull them out and upload a patch. All the cool kids on Steam are doing it.

Getting unique solutions for every puzzle is tough, I definitely get that. There's another app I play (not on Steam) that sometimes lets puzzles with multiple solutions through, but on that one any solution that fits the rules is accepted. Which makes for some really weird images sometimes.

I'd say pull them, flag them as multi-solution, or note in the tutorial that a few puzzles have multiple possible solutions but only one correct answer. Up to you.

Meanwhile, I'm having a good time with it. ^_^

Aw man. This is always my worry with Picross games... It's why I love the Picross E games on 3DS- It's the only series of Picross games I've found that consistently has only one actual solution for every puzzle.

Is it much of an issue here, or is it sort of rare?

actually, I'm pretty sure there's a puzzle in picross for 3ds which also has multiple solutions,

[Dargoth]

Hard-31 too (listing them in case you haven't automated finding them.)

Cardinal sin for a Picross game.

Nonograms should not require leaps in logic, whether they be looking at the picture or deriving some sort of symmetry from what you've unveiled. That's total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just give me my logic chains.

Hard 38 is... bad. Not only must you make a good couple of guesses for the end, but it has a good number of "wrong" solutions.

[Dargoth]

Hard 39 has multiples, but at least it's an "easy guess" :/

I am disappointed to see puzzles with multiple solutions, and hope you can patch them out or adjust the puzzle to fix the problems.

BUT... I am super happy to see this genre starting to hit Steam. please bring more puzzles or games to this platform. It is a hole that needs to be filled.

Hard-41 (easy to guess too, literally 2 pixels at the last choice)

[Dargoth]

Hard-42 is full of variations at the end.

[Dargoth]

Hard-43 (Same as 41)
