Best Pircoss/nonogram game that has the same energy as the classic DS/3DS games I used to be addicted to, including a calming jazzy soundtrack. Great stuff!

Good Picross/Nonogram game. Comes with workshop support, create yourself and played other user created puzzles. If you like these logic puzzles, this is a good choice to pickup and have lots of hours of fun.

A perfectly fine Picross game. It takes quite some time to get any sort of difficulty from it, due to the large amount of low-level puzzles, but the later ones can definitely give you some trouble. One thing I REALLY do not like however is the existence of the ranking system, and how it's implemented. Now, it's already a silly thing to put in a Picross game, of all things, but not only are the criterias for full score ill defined and frankly, dumb, it also punishes you for using hints or just straight up QoL features. If you enable column hints + auto-column greyout, you can only ever get one crown out of three, which is VERY annoying since I don't think the devs realize how incredibly TEDIOUS it is to grey out numbers by yourself. And trust me, it doesn't help you solve the harder puzzles (it's even wrong or just unreliable sometimes), but it does allow you to see when a section is wrong which is nice, I like to have my time respected. Well except that for the last page of the levels, they completely disable any sort of aid or QoL. This is a level of idiotic I can't fathom. What's the point of putting a difficulty system if you're just gonna fuck over people that play on anything else BUT Expert ? Made me give up since the tedium of having to cross and grey out every single thing on a 40x40 grid is the definition of a shitty time. Apart from that, the game has a good amount of content, even some side stuff like mosaics. If you like Picross, it's an alright time, especially with the workshop that'll give you a lot of extra levels beyond the base game.

Good game, except that the developers decided to force the player to use expert mode for the last levels (and fyi, the expert mode doesn't bring anything interesting to the game). Without that "feature", it would be perfect.

An excellent Picross/Nonogram game with everything you can expect: + 300+ hand-made puzzles in Classic mode and Mosaics mode, from simple 5×5 to fiendish 40×40, all with pictures to reveal. + Infinite puzzle generation in Endless mode and Challenges mode. + Workshop, with thousands of puzzles crafted by players. + Usual QoL features (hints, auto fade-out, undo, redo, mouse/keyboard/controller support, remapping, etc). My only gripe is the difficulty system: the essential feature auto fade-out is considered to be a hint; you have to disable it to get full awards for a puzzle (which is required for several achievements). See the discussion post here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/568320/discussions/0/2248931052745443321/. In short, if you like Picross (or Sudoku and Minesweeper kind of logical deduction puzzles, if you have never played Picross before), this is a must-buy. PS: For a stress-free 3D Picross game, I highly recommend Voxelgram ([url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/lijunkang/recommended/1158470/] see my review here ).
