Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

thanks, Gator. I deeply hoped, that it is logically solvable. took me some time to create it.

Conzick, I enjoy your puzzles, and really wanted to solve this one, even if it meant having to scroll back and forth and back and forth all the time. But it was so big that the javascript kept freezing up on me in Firefox. When I switched to IE browser, it was so slow to respond that it was impossible to work on. I know lots of other puzzlers have had the same problem with really big color puzzles. (Jan knows about the problem with huge color puzzles, but that's the way it is with javascript.)

I did peek, and I have to say, this is one very clever puzzle. Perhaps if it were done in B/W and each clue in a quadrant, two on top and two on bottom, it would have been more workable. You really have clever ideas, so if you try something like this in a square-ish B/W format, more people might be able to enjoy your fantastic creativity.

cool puzzle

Thanks, Teresa! I have to admit that you're right. I tried to make a puzzle in an unusual format and don't realize the problems it will make. I have a big monitor, so it worked easier for me. In this format it was only solvable with the 5-color-version.
But I will improve in the future (hope so...)

Nice challenging puzzle.
It's a good image. I recognized what it meant before reading the description.
I agree with Teresa's suggestion of placing the images in two rows, it would avoid scrolling and the image would be entirely seen on the screen.

oh, you poor folks from 2012 before widescreen was common format instead of square for monitors :)

While I don't understand the first third, I really like the rest. Even with a 15" screen, I still had to go back and forth a bit. I really appreciate the creativity this took.
