fun puzzle game similar to picross where you match lines together. the sfx/music is very generic and load times are a little annoying. buy on heavy sale and bring your own tunes.
Simple to learn but gets incredibly complex later. Easy puzzles take 30 seconds while the harder puzzle have taken me several hours. No matter what though, it's very easy to get addicted to. I had a few control issues like the other reviews mentioned but switching windows while playing the game fixed all of it.
love the game mouse stops working sometimes have to bang it down on mouse pad to get working again

j'ai trouvé aucun autre jeu basé sur le meme principe mais je le vis bien (pour l'instant) parce que ce jeu est gigantesque et certains puzzles sont vraiment tendus le but est de relier 2 points de meme valeur et meme couleur avec le nombre de mouvement indiqué par le chiffre, vous pouvez vous aider de l'image globale qui est censée dessiner quelque chose
when i really just want to hate myself in bed i go play this on switch for a couple of hours i do the same of course with this version on the computer 😑👍
Piczle Lines DX+α is a dense, meticulously constructed logic-puzzle experience that takes a single elegant idea and expands it into an enormous, highly polished collection designed for long-term play. Developed and published by Score Studios LLC, the game represents the most complete incarnation of the Piczle Lines concept, bundling a massive puzzle library with narrative framing, thematic variety, achievements, and quality-of-life features that elevate it well beyond a simple puzzle app. It is a title clearly built with puzzle enthusiasts in mind, offering both immediate accessibility and a depth that can occupy players for dozens, if not hundreds, of hours. At its foundation, Piczle Lines DX+α revolves around a straightforward but surprisingly demanding rule set. Each puzzle presents a grid populated by pairs of colored numbers, and the player must draw continuous lines connecting matching numbers with paths whose length exactly equals the number shown. These lines cannot overlap or branch, meaning every decision constrains the remaining possibilities. As lines are correctly placed, an image gradually emerges, transforming abstract logic into a tangible visual reward. This reveal mechanic gives each completed puzzle a satisfying sense of closure, reinforcing the feeling that careful reasoning and patience have paid off. The difficulty curve is one of the game’s strongest qualities. Early puzzles are compact and forgiving, designed to teach the player how to think in terms of distance, routing, and spatial awareness without overwhelming them. As the grids grow larger, however, the puzzles demand significantly more foresight and planning. Larger boards introduce complex interdependencies where committing to one path can invalidate several others, forcing players to think multiple steps ahead. On the largest grids, success often comes from a mix of logical deduction, visual memory, and incremental testing, making each solved puzzle feel genuinely earned rather than stumbled upon. Piczle Lines DX+α avoids monotony through sheer variety and thoughtful structure. The game includes a story mode that breaks the puzzle flow into chapters, each accompanied by light narrative elements and comic-style visuals. While the story itself is not the main draw, it adds personality and momentum, helping players feel like they are progressing through something more cohesive than a disconnected list of challenges. Outside of this mode, themed puzzle packs offer dozens of collections centered on specific subjects, allowing players to choose puzzles based on mood or aesthetic preference rather than difficulty alone. One of the most impressive aspects of the package is its sheer scale. With over a thousand puzzles available, ranging from tiny grids to enormous 128×128 challenges, the game offers a breadth that few logic titles can match. Particularly noteworthy are the single-color puzzles, which strip away much of the visual guidance provided by multiple colors and instead demand pure spatial reasoning. These puzzles represent some of the game’s most demanding content, serving as a true test of mastery for dedicated players and providing a satisfying endgame for those who want to push their skills to the limit. Presentation and usability are handled with the same care as the puzzles themselves. The interface is clean and responsive, making it easy to draw, erase, and adjust lines without friction. Input support for both mouse and controller ensures flexibility in how the game is played, whether at a desk or in a more relaxed setting. Visual clarity is consistently high, even on large grids, which is essential in a game where misreading a single cell can unravel minutes of careful planning. An in-game gallery collects completed images, offering a visual record of progress that reinforces the sense of accomplishment. Piczle Lines DX+α also caters well to completionists. Achievements and trophies provide optional goals beyond puzzle completion, encouraging players to explore all modes and tackle higher difficulties. These additions never feel intrusive, but they add another layer of motivation for those who enjoy checking off milestones and mastering every aspect of a game. Localization support across multiple languages further broadens the game’s appeal, making its logic-driven design accessible to a wide international audience. That said, the experience is unapologetically focused. Players looking for mechanical variety, dynamic storytelling, or frequent shifts in gameplay style may find the formula too consistent. Piczle Lines DX+α is content to refine and expand a single core mechanic rather than reinvent itself, and its appeal depends entirely on the player’s enjoyment of logical deduction and pattern recognition. For those who connect with its central idea, however, this consistency becomes a strength rather than a weakness. In the end, Piczle Lines DX+α stands as a comprehensive and deeply satisfying celebration of logic puzzles. Its massive content offering, thoughtful progression, and rewarding picture-reveal mechanic create an experience that is both calming and mentally engaging. Whether approached casually in short sessions or tackled methodically over long stretches, it offers a rare blend of simplicity and depth that keeps players coming back. For fans of nonogram-style puzzles and anyone seeking a substantial, well-crafted logic game on Steam, Piczle Lines DX+α is an outstanding and enduring choice. Rating: 7/10
great puzzle game! very satisfying
There is trouble with the interface. The mouse and keyboard can lose the pointer in game and moving and zooming can break or just not work. Normally, I hit the windows button, or tab out of the game, and go back in to restore the pointer. After playing I have had to reboot because keyboard typing stopped working, but not every time. The feel is this is a controller focused game, with mouse and keyboard as an after thought. The story does feel about right and is only a small part of the overall game puzzles. Over 250 puzzles in, the music does get bland, but isn't bad. This game wasn't purchased for it's music, it was for the puzzles. Sliding and snaking those colored bars to connecting numbers to form a picture is extremely satisfying. When the space has too many options, the game does try to use slight differences in the colors to reduce the paths to a reasonable amount of answers. Too bad for me with all the additional color lenses and blue-light blocking settings I use. The color difference can be so slight as make it more frustrating for certain color related vision conditions. I go back to those puzzles when I have more patience. In puzzle mode there as more than enough available that I can leave one and start another one. The progress does get saved for in-progress puzzles.
