Good puzzle game, I especially like the highlighting of the "still active" hints next to the board. But I was surprised to find that some puzzles have more than one solution. Luckily this only cropped up when I placed the last two marks. Still trying to solve 15x15 on difficulty 47, making steady progress :)

I'm glad you liked the game! Yeah the puzzle generation is very simple so it can generate puzzle with multiple solutions and it happen more with higher difficulty unfortunately

Had fun with it! 46dif on 10x10 was fine, but I could pass through 46dif 15x15, although I pushed :) Great idea to expose a dif algorithm to a user. Very nice implementation.
