Paint it Back

Good not great. The controls on my Deck are sluggish and mildly annoying, settings do not save upon closing the game on my Deck (can't speak for PC), and I vehemently despise nonogram puzzles that don't stick to grids sized in multiples of 5 (especially on large puzzles) because it forces you to stop on every single line to count spaces in either direction (at least add an in-game counter feature when you do this for god's sake!). An easy solution for the artists/developers regarding that last gripe is to simply include empty lines, which is a solution they know full-well because there are already puzzles that include them. The art is great though, it has large puzzles, and my minor annoyances do not outweigh the fun I am having with this game.

Very unique puzzles with a pleasing art style; you can tell someone with a lot of creativity designed these puzzles. Probably the most impressive part is that almost each puzzle has difficulty options that divides larger puzzles into sections, which I imagine was extremely hard to pull off. Pros: - I never had to guess to get a solution; all puzzles can be solved with logic. - unique puzzles; things an actual artist would come up with and not just basic things that you see in every nonogram game. - pleasing art style - a little bit of story. nothing crazy, just something to set the scene. - difficulty options for most puzzles - there are no unlocks for achievements hidden behind collecting medals; you can choose to do the easiest version of the puzzles and progress just fine. - challenge modes, such as doing a puzzle in 1 continuous click & drag, not using any X's, using the least amount of ink possible, and time challenges. - workshop for user submitted puzzles. mixed: - interesting accessibility(?) option that helps you maintain a straight line; however it makes the mouse a bit janky when moving it and it can take some getting used to. (can be turned off) cons: - no measuring tool that is common in other nonogram games.

A really well-made picross game with good controls and a nice aesthetic.

This is a picross game I keep going back to over and over again. Sure, there's no third fill option for stuff that *might* be filled in, and it's a little annoying how it will fill in numbers before you've added all your x's, HOWEVER, it will not instantly correct my mistakes and that's the biggest thing that annoys me about other picross games. Also, and this is what really keeps me coming back, it doesn't start at small puzzles and then become only really big puzzles, there's always the option to play at whatever size you want which I really love. It's also fun to do over puzzles in different sizes and see how they fit together, I never remember exactly where tiles went for that to be a problem anyways.

Awesome fun game if you like these kind of puzzles. Very nice interface and some are even real challenging.

The game feels good, has unique style and creative puzzled. Super fun to 100%
