    Stare at the screen until you figure it out ... I found myself doing that a lot with this game. The setting/flavor, while not elaborate, is nonetheless rich enough to differentiate the experience from that of a purely abstract game like sudoku. The difficulty was just right for me.

    Alien Cartographer has some interesting ideas, but I think the execution is a bit more frustrating than it needs to be. When many symbols crowd the playing area, it becomes busywork trying to figure out the one symbol or color that you can 100 % place and the difficulty becomes more about remembering the rules and looking through the playing field over and over than actually thinking about what the solution might…
