A 6x6 grid is shown. Every cell represents a room of a castle, with open doors on all sides. You have to draw the map of the castle, closing some of the doors.
The number shown in every room indicates the total number of other rooms visible from that one on straight lines, in all directions: up, down, left and right.
For instance, if you see the number 5 in a cell, it means that a total of 5 cells are visible from there: maybe 2 left and 3 up, or 1 up, 2 down and 2 right, or some other combination giving a total of 5.
Keep in mind that all the rooms can be reached from every other room: there are no closed rooms, or closed groups of rooms.
To close a door, just tap on it.
If your guess is correct, the door will become a piece of wall, its color will become dark, and you will hear a "toc" sound.
If your guess is bad, i.e. if the door must be left open, its color will become yellow, you will hear a "deng" sound, and your choice will be marked as a fault.
When the map is complete, you will hear a musical sound,
and an alert message will notify your success, or the total number of faults.

Good start, needs work

I like the concept. It's similar in concept to sudoku or other number puzzles, while also being very different. The biggest thing this game needs as if right bow is the ability to mark doors as open, instead of just closed. Every good game of this nature has this feature (Mine Sweeper, any electronic Sudoku game, and Towers Infinite just to name a few). It is included for a reason -- it helps you organize your thoughts. The game could also use with some art, to better express the concept of rooms and doors. Also I don't care For the way the game tells you if you're wrong or right after each move; I'd much prefer it of you could just play and fail the puzzle if, at the end, everything didn't add up because of mistake I made.
Good; can be improved

Fun, although it gets boring after I've played it awhile and start to get repeat games. What about adding different sizes of board? Then all the proportions would change. And what about adding a timer to time self? In general, fun game & i recommend trying it!
Different kind of puzzle game

Great original puzzle and I enjoy that it generates new games, is there a way to determine difficulty levels ? And offer single wall hints as alternative to the autosolve ? This reminds me of Sudoku with looking for patterns in the numbers. Only advice I have is to be careful with touching the wrong wall.
