Not recommended Jul 14, 2026
(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)_/¯

I played this while recovering from a concussion, and I swear to God I gained an INT point back in real time while doing one of the 15x15s.

Nice little game ! If, like me, you enjoy picross, you'll have a blast! (I just dislike the colored one as they change the rules I'm used to) Give it a try!

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.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
