Kubits Gallery

Nice puzzle where you can look at pixelated pieces of art. Despite the game's emphasis on pieces of art, the gameplay is classic. If you've never played this type of puzzle before, the rules are really simple. Each puzzle is made up of an empty grid that must be filled in according to the rules set out by the numbers on the top and left sides of the grid. The numbers indicate how many squares in a row or column need to be colored. Zeros and digits that fill the entire length are always the simplest and most effective way to begin. Then you just continue from there to see where the numbers match. The only catch is when there are many numbers in the same row or column. In this situation, there must be at least one empty square between a group of numbers. While difficulty can’t be customized, the three settings let you match your skill level and amount of free time. This is shown in numbers or clues that are automatically removed when you complete a row or column, or you’ll have to do that yourself on the highest difficulty. Another feature is that you can’t lose a game; if you make a mistake, the number will change color. Although puzzles are works of art, you only solve a little portion of the overall painting. When finished, you expose the entire painting that is then available on your wall. However, while the paintings are real and carry the painter's name and title, they are highly pixelated. This makes it difficult to enjoy and occasionally even see the details. Small photos are fine, but larger ones can sometimes turn into a sea of pixels. Puzzles are played in packs. Each has a name that fits the paintings, and you need to complete a certain number of puzzles to unlock the next pack.

This is a somewhat no-frills nonogram puzzler that slips in a few minor departments. Presentation-wise the idea of an art gallery as the hub for puzzles is a solid one, but they're so pixellated and blurred the finished pieces feel disconnected from the puzzles they're assigned to. Not helped by the zoom out when you finish each one. What's more, you'd be hard pressed to identify much of anything from the black and white solutions as they all look like a semi-random mishmash of ticked boxes. It's not bad by any stretch. Puzzles are satisfying to complete, I mentioned it's got nice presentation, and there's a bunch of options to adjust difficulty. Just be aware of the little things and whether those would bother you.
