This was a great logic problem to do. Fun puzzle; awesome image. Thank heavens I didn't need to guess...got tricky near the end though.

I left a comment a while back when I did this puzzle, but it doesn't seem to have registered. I liked this one very much! For the longest time I thought it was going to be a tarot card...isn't there a burning tower in a tarot deck?

This was quite elaborate, and very nice. I worked on it over the course of a day, and was happy to have it turn out so nicely! Thank you.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Very nice solve. I used edge and two-way logic.

Thank you all.

I kept thinking it was going to be someone rescued from being lost on a mountain, cause I saw the helicopter and the people climbing up. I love your helicopter, though. This was a tricky one. You're actually encouraging me to get better at my color logic, since your puzzles are good enough to actually get me to work the color ones, and they're not so hard that I get stuck. At the very end with the upper right smoke clouds I had to use some tricky edge logic, sort of extrapolating what would happen if I did one thing as opposed to another. Very nice, though.

Thank you so much. This was one of the first puzzles I created, back before I knew anything about edge logic (or any type of logic beyond simple line logic) and back when I created multi-color puzzles.

This reminds me of the elaborate drawings that middle-school boys draw, with lots of fires and helicopters and guns and such. :)

Very tough, fantastic puzzle. I did have to guess a couple of times. I am amazed at the wonderful detail in such a smallish puzzle.

Difficult puzzle. Solvable primarily with line and color logic until you get near the end at the upper left. Then it takes a little bit of look ahead, probably what Gator identified as 2 way logic.

I took a chance on letting PBN assign a random puzzle and this is what I ended up with.

Another awesome Monkeyboy puzzle.

Great job! Wonderful illustration of the story. It did take me a bit to find the rescued person, but once found it was very clear.
