Pixel Proof
The numbers beside each row and column say how long the runs of filled squares are. Work them out and a small pixel picture appears. Three pictures a run, from 10x10 up to 15x15, each with exactly one answer.

Maker’s note
Each run is three pictures (10x10, 12x12, 15x15) chosen from the seed out of a set of small sprites drawn for Eracade. Every picture is checked by a line solver: if line logic alone finishes it, it has exactly one answer, and a second independent counter confirms it. Score per picture is 150 plus 20 a square of width, up to 400 for speed and 250 for finishing with no hints; each hint costs 150. Clues turn grey when a line is right.
