Crossed Squares

(Published on 15. September 2026, 13:34 by lgastako)

Here's my latest. I had trouble deciding on a rating because it's mostly pretty easy though there are a few spots that require a little extra thought and/or scanning, but ultimately settled on it being more of a tricky 1-star than an easy 2-star. I hope you enjoy it. As always, feedback is welcomed and encouraged.
