Very difficult to get started - burned all the hints and made a lot of guesses.
Good puzzle. Needed one hint - and I couldn't see how it worked.

Suggest you try it again - when you use the first hint - try & figure why that square must be as the hint suggests. If you don't move on until you have figured it out - you will have a new tool (& one that is VERY useful)!

Thanks. I did. You're right.
I'll be a bit cocky and inform I made it under 6 minutes :D. But it was a lot of fun! I agree with John_Robertshaw that understanding the hints a few times will give you a lot of experience and insights on how to solve these outstanding situations
Nice picture -- I knew what it was right away. I needed one hint, and I could see why it worked (and why I missed it). Tricky but not impossible!
Solved this withot a hint in 21 minutes. Difficult start, then it went well for a while and then at the end it got difficult again - but it's solvable!

Sure! All of your comments are solely there of showing of being the fastest of us all. Hail, champion!
13 mins, no hints or guesses. I took everyone's comments on board and used every trick I could think of to unravel the first part - seemed to work and I'm very proud of myself because I'm usually quite slow.
Had to guess to find a start, went out fine, but I made some mistakes later. Nice and tricky - didn't reveal itself until the end.
surprise at the end, very hard to start, I had to use all hints
Nice image and tough puzzle for so small. I used 1 hint too, but should have seen it. Just a little too impatient.
Very hard for me, I used all 3 hints and a few red crosses to work it out
Difficult, and frustrated by my single complaint: when I mark a square, then realise that my logic is flawed; my mark happens to have been correct,and the puzzle has automatically filled in a lot of other squares with crosses ... I want to back out and solve the puzzle logically, but I don't know which crosses to remove. I wish there were a back-out button, to back out as many steps as one wants.

The button at the left-bottom should function exactly as you described

Hit the button twice to remove the automatically filled crosses AND the misplaced marked cell(s).
You are developing quite the reputation for making difficult but beautiful puzzles--keep up the great work!
Not overly complicated but yet fun to solve. I agree with 3strikesurout.
Very difficult! Took me a lot of time and one beer. I made it without hints but only because I learned a lot from the previous one.
Took me a minute to see the picture after solving it. Fantastic puzzle, and beautiful picture. Thanks!
This was HARD!! I made it without hints or guessing but at the beginning I was totally stuck.
Took me half an hour, quite tough for a small puzzle :D
2 hints and I figured out both of them. 25 minutes. How is the average 7 minutes?
I think the dificulty was average, but the result (esp in thumbnail) is superb. Thank you.

I've been craving a challenge so I've been going through and redoing Lalopop's puzzles, and as usual this one didn't disappoint! I liked how it wasn't just tricky in the beginning, there was also a point near the end where I was stuck for a little and had to use an advanced technique.
My time was just barely under 10 minutes no hints, so it's not the hardest Lalopop puzzle, but it certainly wasn't easy and definitely gave me that sense of accomplishment from finishing a difficult puzzle without hints. I really liked this one part where once you realize the marked square has to be an x regardless of whether it's a 1 or a 2, the rest of the puzzle immediately falls into place, it was super satisfying.

(And yeah I redid the whole puzzle to get the screenshot lmao, although of course it's a lot easier the second time around since I literally just did it)
First I thought it looked like Robocop sitting against a wall. But the mermaid is nicer
Loved it ! Thank you !
