Pixross

Pretty short, I completed all the puzzles in about 5 hours. But I did thoroughly enjoy this! I would love a dark mode. Very solid gameplay!

[25.7.28]简单的益智小游戏，关卡有点少，不过涂色直接有颜色很不错。

简单的小游戏，以扫雷模式为基础制作的填色游戏，背景音乐好听，本身难度也不会太高——15*15需要多动动脑子 同时全成就也不算太难，只要价格不是过高，就很推荐入手

Recommended to get on sale. A very simple picross puzzle game, with 180 different puzzles ranging in size from 5x5 to 15x15 - some are rectangles eg 5x10 or 10x15. All puzzles are roughly the same difficulty, so this game may be best suited to young or casual players looking to relax. I highly recommend looking at the settings before beginning, and as you get to know the game. [list] [*]The tutorial is not interactive. Instead of letting you do a puzzle, it simply explains it as you watch the puzzle being solved. [*]The controls are easy and intuitive. Left click to colour in a square, and right click to cross off the square. [*]The difficulty of the puzzles remains roughly the same throughout the entire game, there is [b]no[/b] increase in difficulty as you go. [*]The puzzles are automatically coloured as you fill them in. [*]If you make a mistake (whether left clicking or right clicking), the game will automatically fill in the square correctly and you will lose one "life". [*]You can make 3 mistakes per level (4th mistake ends the level). 3 mistakes is the default, but you can change this in the settings to either 6 or 9. [*]The default is "free draw" style, but you can change to "line" style in the settings. Line style means that when you click & drag to mark a line of squares, you will only be able to drag within the line of the original square you clicked on. This makes it easier to prevent misclicks when marking long sections of the grid. [*]You can replay levels as often as you like, and quit a level at any point (though your progress is NOT saved if you leave in the middle of a level). [*]In addition to the 180 puzzles the game comes with, you also have the option to generate new ones. The new ones do not form a picture, and there may be puzzles with multiple correct solutions. [*]There are 5 challenges you can choose to activate, which add rules and obstacles to the levels you play. They can be used on the pre-existing levels as well as on generated levels. You CAN use all 5 challenges at the same time, although I do not recommend it. [*]You can unlock backgrounds and visual styles for things such as the grid and check marks. These are unlocked by spending the stars you earn by completing levels. This is done "gacha" style, so the style you receive will be random. There is a counter in the top left of the screen which tells you what percentage of unlockables you have unlocked. [/list]

I don't remember how or when I got this added to my account, if it was a gift or humble bundle or something, but it was really enjoyable! Your typical nonogram type thing, but it has a lot of nice features. You can change the cosmetics of the map and board, add challenges, or change some of the gameplay mechanics (Like how many strikes wrong). It's really, really nice. I love these sort of puzzles and found them fun to do in between busy work or while watching YouTube. The sounds and graphics here all play together nicely too, making it really satisfying and good for the brain scritchies.

Exactly as advertised. Not really much more to be expected from a Picross game.
