[b]Difficult Achievement(s):[/b] No. [h1]Intro[/h1] [i]Raccoon The Miner[/i] is a Nonogram game where you need to solve randomly-generated Nonograms. It has 63 levels in total, with each level generating a Nonogram of varying sizes, ranging from 6x5 to 39x24. [b]Pros:[/b] - Randomized levels for replayability - Powerups [b]Cons:[/b] - Lacking a lot of QoL content: no separator every 5x5 tiles, no highlight where your cursor is, clues aren't greyed out after being solved - There is a chance that a clue is hidden behind the UI - Some solutions are not unique [b]Specs[/b] Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 [h1]Should you play this game?[/h1] [i]It's a nightmare trying to solve the larger levels without the QoL features.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h3]Visuals[/h3] For a Nonogram game, the display is very small. I know that it tries to cater to larger Nonogram sizes, but the level is still too small, even on smaller Nonogram sizes. This makes a lot of space appear empty, maki…

It's a typical picross/nonogram type of game, but there are many flaws. The puzzles are random, meaning they have no picture, making them harder to keep track of. Also, some of them can't be solved with logic and require guessing/hints. You can't mark off numbers as completed, there are no 5-tile marks, and you can't resize the game (which should be the case, because the puzzle gets real small in later levels). Also for achievement hunters, the 50k coins one is kind of annoying. Either you play the game over 2 times, or you need to use other means.

The absolute bare minimum to count as a nonogram game. Randomly generated puzzles, comically small board with no graphical settings to make it bigger, inability to mark off individual numbers as completed, no 5-marks for visual clarity, completely arbitrary board sizes that the game doesn't even tell you, it's horrid. At least it has the decency to be free instead of making you pay for this schlock.

Missing QoL features most would consider standard such as lines to count in blocks, zoom, and greying out a finished line. Levels are random each time you restart. They have no picture element either. There really is no reason to have separate levels, it could just generate a level based on chosen parameters. And if you want that you can find an website that does that at the top of the 'nonogram online' google results page, and with more features. Odd graphical choice for correct squares too, the lava-like effect makes it look like a mistake. Also zero connection to animals or mining.
