Puzzle Description:
It's Axel from Kingdom Hearts.
#1: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Mar 14, 2012 [HINT]
after line logic:#2: Nancy (nbarsi) on Mar 15, 2012 [HINT]
edge logic on the 3 clue in c6 to dot r16
edge logic on the 3 clue in c7 to make r7 black
edge logic on the 2 clue in r7 to dot c8-10
edge logic on the 4 clue in r26 to dot c21-23
edge logic on the 3 clue in r24 to dot c23
you have three red 1 clues left in c12-14 to place in r19, 21, 23 in some order but no matter where the red 1 from r21 goes the black 2 clue preceding it must go in either c8-9 or 9-10 so r21c9 is black
no matter which way the 3 clue in r17 goes r16c7 is a dot
gotta go for now but will check on this later
I had to trial and error the eyes and the 4 in row 26 after that it all fell into place. great challenge and image at last.#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Mar 15, 2012 [HINT]
I had to save and solve a few times, but it solved nicely with edge logic after guessing that the green was completely surrounded by black.#4: Jota (jota) on Mar 16, 2012
I'll wait for hints.#5: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Mar 16, 2012 [HINT]
You can use my hint, surrounding the green with black. :)#6: Lexi (nottotallyhere) on Feb 11, 2018
My favorite KH character :) Glad to finally find a puzzle of him xD#7: Wombat (wombatilim) on Mar 16, 2023 [HINT]
Initial line & color logic gets to 68%. Green is finished, and only 3 squares of red still remain.#8: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 16, 2023
C6: If the black in R18 is extended up to R16, it makes C7 invalid, so R19C6 is black. L&CL.
Some tricky color logic here I'd like to call out: the 2nd black 2 in R21 will need to fit into C8-10, because to put it in C12-13 would require 2 reds below it, and only 1 red is available in the rows below. Therefore R21C9 is black. R20C12 and R22C12 can also now be marked white via color logic.
R26: EL places blacks in C17-18. L&CL.
R6: Whether the remaining 2 is in C7-8 or C18-19, the 2 in R7 is in C7-8. L&CL.
R9: EL marks C8-10 white.
R24: EL marks C23 white.
R17: No matter how you complete the 3, R16C7 is white.
R16: If C8-10 are white, the 3 in R17 will need to be in C6-8, and the 6 in C8 will need to be in R17-22. This makes C9 invalid, so R16 C8-10 must be black. L&CL.
C12: EL marks R9-11 white. L&CL.
C13: EL marks R9-11 white. L&CL.
C14: The 4 cannot extend to R9 or it makes C15 invalid. R13C14 is black. L&CL.
C13: EL marks R19-20 black.
Line & color logic to finish.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
