Pepper's Puzzles

Nonograms with a heaping spoonful of humour. There are tonnes of traditional puzzles, two large mosaics, and a trio of timed ones. First off, the music is fine, but the one timed track is infuriatingly grating. I ended up turning the music slider to 0. Timed puzzles -- well, the 7x7 set -- are also annoying due to a baffling oversight: this game lacks the ability to wrap from one side over to the other. There's one further issue that Steam Deck users should be aware of: the zoom is slight, and the overall interface falls well short of Jupiter's DS and Switch titles. With that all said, I enjoyed this. The sheer number of puzzles (plus Workshop support!), its humour, its controls, and value make this a solid, albeit imperfect, nonograms game.

Pretty good picross game with some difficult levels.

A lot of puzzles for the price. As far as picross goes, the majority of these puzzles are a bit more challenging than casual. The Mosaic puzzles, in particular are huge! Love it.

I'm bad at it, but this is a great way to learn! How can you not love endless nonograms, especially with a great tutorial and interface to go with it?

very good

Overall a solidly designed Picross game. As an experienced Picross player, I found it to have about the right level of difficulty, but it definitely needs some quality of life features. I played on Steam Deck, and felt the controls to be a little clunky, but useable. Here are some suggestions: - Add screen wrap. Having to go back and forth was really frustrating, especially when you want to go at speed. - Speed up d-pad movement. This also slowed down the game significantly, especially once you get to the later puzzles and need to fill rows of 15+ squares. - A counting mechanic. The Picross S games have an option to count squares, which helps a lot with working out larger puzzles. At this point I'm used to counting in my head, but the option would be appreciated. Otherwise, I liked the unusual theming of the levels, and the absolutely absurdly huge mosaic puzzles. If you've gone through a bunch of other Picross games, this will probably scratch that itch - once you've gotten your head around a few clunky things.
