Critter Corners
Give every critter its own corner to unlock your cache.
Loading the board...
A square board split into colored patches. Put one critter in every row, every column and every patch, with no two critters touching, not even corner to corner. Move between squares with the arrow keys. Press Space to cross a square off or clear its cross, and Enter to drop a critter there.
Tap to cross a square off, tap again to clear it. Press and hold a square to drop a critter (right-click with a mouse).

One critter per row, column and patch.
The board is split into colored patches, as many patches as there are rows. Your job is to place exactly one critter in every row, every column and every patch.
Critters need their space: no two critters may touch, not even corner to corner.
Tap a square to cross it off as a square that cannot hold a critter, and tap it again to clear the cross. Drag across squares to cross off several at once, and Undo X takes back your last crosses. To drop a critter, press and hold a square until it fills (slide off to cancel), or right-click it with a mouse. On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys, press Space to cross a square off and Enter to drop a critter.
Every critter you drop is checked on the server. A right one stays put, and with Auto X on, its row, its column, its patch and the squares around it are crossed off for you. A wrong one turns into a red X, and on a cache with hearts it costs a heart. Run out of hearts and you get a fresh board to try.
Every board can be solved by logic alone, so there is never a reason to guess. A good place to start: a small patch, or a patch that sits in a single row or column.
Fill every board to unlock the reveal. Your progress is saved on this device when storage is available.
