Puzzle Description:

I put a grid over a picture of a globe, got this.

My first puzzle, lots to learn yet.

Pretty darn good! Doing great!

The picture is very nice, but it needs more white to be much of a puzzle. If you make the corners white, is it still logically solvable? Or maybe just the outer border (the 7s)?

I agree with Kristen regarding solvability and challenge level. But visually, I do like the choice of black for the void of space. It takes your globe and puts it in the scene rather than giving it a blank background. I'm torn on which one I'd recommend for growth as a puzzle maker.

What Kristen said. It seems like it would be doable with the corners white. The blue 10 in r2 would be able to have nine pixels placed with line logic and the green 7 in c1 would have four. Having them, I think the upper left would flow well. Particularly considering the single green pixel in c4.

I agree with the previous agreement.

Perhaps some weather patterns would help. Nothing too extreme though. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

What an agreeable bunch!

Another suggestion: The title should be subtle, not give it away. Pixelated globe" is a description, albeit unnecessary in this case. Puzzles are more fun to solve if we don't know what it is until near the end. Hence, the pleasure of the "aha!" moment.

Nice first Greggo (albeit almost 4 years ago). I did my first few the same way, but they were much much much larger puzzles because I was not so good at pixelating the details as you've done here.
