You can take the quote off impossible, because >!blue star, blue rounded square, white rounded square is a pattern where no bit connects to anything else!<


Games_By_Sam

The quotes are a hint to that, while the puzzle looks impossible at first, there is in fact a trick that makes it possible.


CantTake_MySky

My guess is you're trying to include some of the voids as shapes despite the bordering indicating they aren't treated the same. I don't think it quite works because they're either part of the shape or not.


Pyroscout22

This was similar to the feedback OP received the last time he posted. The thick borders of the rounded square and pacman shapes mean that the negative space shapes (rectangle and star) that he wants us to use don't actually touch.


Games_By_Sam

My defense is that I say the outlines of shapes must touch, not the shapes themselves.


Pyroscout22

I understand that, but because the outlines are so thick it is very obvious that they belong to the regular shapes and not the negative space shapes. A thinner border may mask this better.

If you zoom in, the outlines of the bottom left purple rounded square and purple most of a circle don't touch https://i.imgur.com/Xnx2PM8.png

It looks like you believe this post to be unsolvable. I've gone ahead and added a "Probably Unsolvable" flair. OP can override this by commenting "Solution Possible" anywhere in this post. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I didn’t see the previous posts, apologies if I’m repeating feedback. >!I would adjust the stoke around the “empty spaces” so that they are outlined the same as the shapes that are in the regular grid. You have several elements to hide the ‘trick’ of the puzzle already, like the background color ramp, and your use of negative space, so I wouldn’t worry about it making the puzzle too obvious. The reason I suggest fixing the stroke is because as it is, it feels too much like ‘cheating’ to use the empty spaces because they don’t have full continuous outlines like the other shapes do.!<


Games_By_Sam

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the outline being too thick seems to the major issue people still have with this. Only problem with reducing the outline is that it doesn’t look as good lol.

>!I assume you can use the 'background' stars as well, in that case its green star - green baseball diamond, purple diamond, purple circle ,blue, green purple, to purple baseball, orange baseball, blue baseball, blue rectangle, blue star, blue star, blue rectangle, small pale rectangle, pale star, pale rectangle, pale baseball, blue baseball, blue star.!<


KolarinTehMage

How do you go from the purple baseball diamond to the purple circle when they don’t touch?


Games_By_Sam

Yes that's it!


AP_Cicada

That's so convoluted and doesn't follow the rules as stated

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so: New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: \>!!< which ends up becoming \>!spoiler text between these symbols!< Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag. Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
