Kurohori

Updated on (created ) — Filed under: Deb Mohanty List Paper Ported Puzzle number shading

This ruleset can be seen as a variant of:

  • minesweeper, but clues can be shaded (transparent variant)
  • fill-a-pix, but clues do not count their own cell

Deb Mohanty originally used the name "Simple Shading" but the genre was subsequently independently reinvented by 4G@きずふぃろ as "Kurohori". The latter seems be used more often.
