If you want nonogames/picross, this game has it in spades.

Having now 100% completed the game without any assists on, I can happily say this is a very high quality nonogram/picross styled game that leaves me happily waiting for the DLC to release, and wishing that other picross styled games were this well developed! While I'm not super into the customization/cosmetics side of the game, you can definitely delve headfirst into it with good results! Before you read the next part of my review, please keep in mind any developer should develop and add the content they want without any care in the world, it's your project and flush it out with what you see fit! On that being said, my only side note is that the stickers are a little overly filled with the LGBTQ+ ones in comparison to the ones themed to the game. There a chunk of reviews that there's way too many/they shouldn't be in the game, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. I just feel as if there's a bit of an imbalance of the more "game related" stickers in comparison! Can't wait to see the DLC and what's to come from this dev!

I just love a good nonogram game, and this checks all the right boxes (pun not initially but currently intended.)

The cutest puzzle game I've personally played. The "squeakross" itself has lots of customizability to either assist you as much as you like or make it completely unassisted like playing on paper. I also really like the framing device-- the rats are cute. It's fun to make a little rodent friend and them dress them up and decorate their house with the stuff you get for solving puzzles. Since you get something new for every puzzle you solve, you end up with a lot of variety for dress-up and decorating. My only criticism so far is that the puzzles don't really vary too much in size, at least as far as I've gotten. Once you get past the easy intro puzzles, each side is always in the range of 12-20ish. I would have appreciated having occasional larger challenge boards or smaller ones for a bit of a breather.
