Picross Beach Paradise

"Picross Beach Paradise" is a basic Nonogram game... for those who never played one, it's a kind of grid-deduction-puzzle game, not unlike Minecraft or Sudoku. You're given a grid and a number of numerical clues. You must deduce where the safe places to click are. In a Nonogram, the correct clicks will reveal a small, obviously low resolution image or pattern. Yay, what fun. This is why top of the line gaming PCs costs thousands of dollars, right? The developer, Creobit, has copy + pasted this game an insane FOURTY ONE TIMES... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home! Here's a list of the asset flips of this game that the Russian "developer" is polluting Steam with: [list] [*] Asian Riddles 1, 2, 3 + 4 [*] Christmas Griddlers [*] Christmas Griddlers Journey to Santa [*] Detective Riddles - Sherlock's Heritage 1 + 2 [*] Easter Riddles [*] Egypt Picross Pharaohs Riddles [*] Fill And Cross Christmas Riddles [*] Fill and Cross Magic Journey [*] Fill and Cross Pirate Riddles 1, 2 + 3 [*] Fill and Cross Royal Riddles [*] Fill and Cross Trick or Treat 1, 2 + 3 [*] Fill and Cross World Contest [*] Griddlers Beach Season [*] Griddlers Legend Of The Pirates [*] Griddlers TED and PET 1 + 2 [*] Griddlers Victorian Picnic [*] Halloween Patchwork Trick or Treat [*] Halloween Riddles Mysterious Griddlers [*] Magic Griddlers 1 + 2 [*] Olympus Griddlers [*] Picross Beach Paradise [*] Picross Bonbon - Nonogram [*] Picross Fairytale - nonogram: Red Riding Hood secret [*] Picross Fairytale: Legend of the Mermaid [*] Picross Hansel and Gretel - Nonograms [*] Riddle of the mask [*] Royal Riddles (this asset flip) [*] Santa's Toy Factory Nonograms [*] Thanksgiving Day Griddlers [*] Valentine's Day Griddlers 1 + 2 [/list] [i][b]These are all reskins of exactly the same game![/b][/i] From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio (with crappy "wings" to pad out the space). It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this asset flip? "Picross Beach Paradise" has the gamer gouging price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

Garbage

数织类解谜游戏，类似于数独那样的适合锻炼逻辑思考能力 但同样玩法的游戏换个皮肤就搞一个来卖，这种做法实在无法接受

Decent Picross Game... only flaw is the lack of a picture or even a caption at the end of the puzzle. Is it a squid? Is it a pineapple? It kinda looks like a horse.. who knows?

Ich hätte nicht gedacht das mich ein Picross Spiel jemals agressiv macht, aber die Funktion das man Sterne abgezogen bekommt wenn man nen Fehler macht ist wirklich sehr nervig, einmal verklickt und zack kannst eigentlich den Lvl von vorn anfangen,

Сборник японских кроссвордом с мини-учебником. Достоинства: 1. Весьма непростые, но решаемые кроссворды 2. Приятные фоны Недостатки: 1. Основной: это подбор цветов для оформления игрового поля: белый фон, светло-серые крестики, средне-серый "курсор", тёмно-синий закрашенный блок. В более поздних играх этот недостаток обычно исправлен. Вывод: на первый взгляд, это неплохой набор японских кроссвордов с мини-учебником. Но покупать эту игру не рекомендую даже на распродаже: непродуманная цветовая схема весьма быстро утомляет и исправлять это, скорее всего, никто не собирается. Поэтому, как мне кажется, лучше уже купить сборник рождественской тематики от этого же издателя, чем всматриваться в оттенки блёклой палитры здесь.

✅ I read the negative reviews and I understand them. After playing just the first puzzle, I saw one of the core issues: if you make a mistake, there’s no undo or retry button. 🎯 One idea to improve this would be to introduce a light microtransaction system — like buying extra tries, coins, or "mistake tokens". That way, the game can feel more forgiving *and* provide the developers with a potential monetization path. That said, I really enjoyed the first puzzle! There’s something chill and relaxing here, and I’m glad I gave it a try. Looking forward to future updates if Creobit decides to revisit this title.

Not bad, but too intolerant of misclicks. Perhaps coins or complete levels should allow undos. Nothing worse than spending 20 minutes in a level and not getting the 3 stars because you misclicked the cell next to the one you were going to clear. Also, two errors and you're toast, without any possibility of looking at the level to try to replicate it. Your options are start from zero or go back to the menu. Dragging with the wrong button will destroy your level instantly. Finally, the music is nice, but it needs A LOT more variety. I'll click recommend, though. At 4€ you'll get a bit of entertainment, and at the current 90% discount it would be a travesty not to recommend it.

Schon in den ersten Leveln des "Abenteuers" stieß ich auf einen Bug, der das Spielen unmöglich macht. In einem Level wird meine Eintragung jeweils ignoriert und verändert also aus einem x ein [] oder umgekehrt und dann beendet wegen "zu vielen Fehlern". Und nein, das liegt nicht an meinen Fähigkeiten, sondern am Spiel. Schade, ich liebe Nonogram spiele und das hätte ein gutes Spiel werden können.

I don't know if you know this, but it's griddlers.
