Great puzzle!
In my opinion, this is your most beautiful and realistic color puzzle
And in Russian the bird is called "Rainbow Toucan"

As a fan of black-and-white puzzles, mindscrub's foray into the world of color is disappointing as it takes him away from creating some of the best B&W works since Lalopop. But this entry is far from disappointing. With so many colors at work, this could easily have been a hot mess of paint-by-number inanity. Instead, mindscrub proves he understands the medium by leaving just enough empty pixels to force solvers to tackle this one the old-fashioned way.
My only complaint is that the meat of the solve happens at the left and right borders as they require the most logic to finish. After that, the middle feels much easier as the use of many colors eliminates the author's ability create a challenging scenario. This is counter to some of mindscrub's best works that lull the solver into a false sense of security while saving the most difficult moves for last.
Overall: sharing mindscrub with the color section is to the benefit of all.

Cool story bro, reminder that you can literally just choose black and with in the side bar
And color puzzles have their own logical methodology which involves more variety rather than just plain math as the black and whites do
I enjoy both, but challenge? i mean, you can sort by high difficulty if you really want, but i don't see the need to seek a challenge, this is just a nice puzzle game to move the brain cells a bit, not like any of these are impossibly hard, at least i haven't found any i can't solve in the 50+ i've tried

Hi, Nancok. Of course I could just choose to do black-and-white, but I do enjoy a well-made color puzzle. I just find it harder to find a 'good' color puzzle than a B&W. Good being relative to my preferences. And yes, color puzzles have slightly different logic than B&W. My complaint is that the logic is often easier because most color constructors care more about the final image than whether the path to finishing it enjoyable or not. And sorting by difficulty is rarely viable when it comes to color puzzles. A 'hard' color puzzle often has its difficulty padded because it uses a lot of single pixels which are monotonous and annoying to fill in but not necessarily difficult to actually do. When you've completed closer to 1,000 puzzles, things like challenge and quality become more important. Thanks for the comment; have a great day!
replyLovely colours, and no difficult shades to work out. A beautiful picture, and a relaxing experience.
replyA good image that doesn't make you pick at straight pixels for 20 minutes, enjoyable
