Pixel Puzzle Makeout League

My favorite picross game on Steam. I love the music, love the story and love the game. 10/10 edit: oh and did i said ASMR?

It may not stand above Murder by Numbers, but Pixel Puzzle Makeout League holds its own as a solid picross puzzler. And it’s arguably better functionally on the Steam Deck when you compare the two games. Although I often found myself annoyed by the characters, there is enough weird and unpredictable twists and turns to keep you guessing. Definitely recommended if you like picross puzzles.

Pretty peak, definitely my favorite nonogram game. Not gonna spoil any details but the ending is WILD.

Did I enjoy this game? Yes, it's well-designed and the nonograms are fun. Do I think it's "good art"? Well, not really. In terms of the positives, like I said, the nonograms are good. They're pretty forgiving, unless you don't like the timer, but there are various customization options to set them up how you like. There are A TON of puzzles, including a bunch of bonus ones, so the game delivers well in that sense. Overall, the game is polished and has high production value, and the 2D art is nice (not the 3D abominations). As for the negatives... well, the story is pretty cringe. The writing is the most millennial thing I've ever seen, and I definitely mean that in a bad way. Nothing really makes much sense, a lot is left unexplained, and the ending never ends. I mean, two separate times it psychs you out with what looks like an ending, except there's actually like 15-30 minutes more story left. The second time, it tacks on a 15-minute live-action video at the end, and while the video is well-made, [i]it shouldn't be there[/i]. Basically, this story is trying to be a million things at once, which doesn't work, and [spoiler]it turns into psychological horror at the end. Doki Doki …

Absolutely incredible game. i loved the story, the puzzles and the characters so much. Especially Crossword had me swooning. I know it unlikely but i wish they would make a second game where you get to romance everybody in the new world and see how their lives would be outside of the puzzle league or rather more seperately from it. 10/10 easily one of my favorite games.

The puzzles aren't terribly challenging for a nonogram expert and the story gets a little weird at the end, but this is still a very solid game. Well worth the money!
