(ignore my playtime. since puzzles weren't timed this was a game i often left open for hours when going off to do other stuff) this was (mostly) fun! i would recommend this if i wasn't fairly certain that a bunch of the nonograms are literally impossible to complete without looking up the final image?? you'd think that the first thing you'd check when making a puzzle game that requires one solution is that only one solution is possible... also some later puzzles are massive so you can barely read the numbers on the sides. like the concept of a 10x50 nonogram is fun until you have to scroll up and down to even see the numbers :p positives: charity and stuff. also i like the multicolour nonograms. shame there aren't more of them. that being said some colours were pretty hard to see tbh so that's not a full positive IDK i think that despite my "not recommended" review this is a fun enough game that you can play for free if you're bored, just remember that some nonograms are literally impossible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A fine, free nonogram game among hundreds of others. The way the line information greys out can be a bit confusing -- there's certain colour puzzles where it's hard to tell what colour a line is -- and the controls can stutter a bit but it's never miserable. I haven't seen colour in a nonogram before; there's a friction between normal nonogram logic and colour nonogram logic (gaps are not necessary between different colours) that is brain-melting at first but you get used to it in time. I wish there were more deductions related to the possible position of specific colours, it happens sometimes and is the most obvious difference in solving a coloured nonogram that could have been I would be surprised if the puzzles were playtested; there are multiple inexplicable single puzzles which are orders of magnitude harder than their neighbours. Alongside this there is at least one puzzle that has multiple correct solutions (i.e. necessitates guessing).

This Picross game is by far the best one I've come across on Steam. There are hundreds of hours of gameplay to play through, and no life system! No one wrong click and then you lose a life. It's nice how you can actually figure out where you went wrong instead of immediately getting punished for it. This game is also free which makes it nicer overall. Definitely exceeded my expectations by a lot. 10/10.
