Very interesting game. Unfortunately I found it just devolved into random clicking - there weren't enough clues to give me much strategy. Gave up when the grid got to ~9x9, and it was just a waste trying to get it working.

I'm not sure I understand about the clues. When you click a square, it inverts the colour of that square and the ones around it (up, down, left and right).

The problem is strategy clues. I know how the game works, but that doesn't tell me where to play.

Past a certain size I lose all intuition and start clicking everywhere until something manageable appears.

Oh I see what you mean. I can see a few patterns around but I've not got a good understanding about how to solve many of them, so I can't logically work through things after a certain point.
