Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.43/day in the week to Aug 31 → 4/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5/day in the week to Jul 21 → 7.2/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

片手操作難易度:易しい 小さなパズルを解いて大きな絵を作るパズルゲーム 250以上もの区画に分かれた小さなパズルを解いていきます。 隣接するパズルに影響を及ぼさないため好きな位置からプレイ可能です。 自身を含めた周囲9マスのうち何か所塗れるかを示す数字を頼りに塗っていきます。 区画による違いは大きさだけで難易度はほぼ横ばいなのでぼんやり考えながら遊ぶのに向いています。 癒し系のミュージックも流れていて夜に少しずつプレイしていくのにいい雰囲気でした。
im only like 20% through this game but it pisses me off bc i know that once i finish it and dont have anything else like it to play that it'll ruin me. it has such a hold on me edit: immediately after writing this review i scrolled down the steam page and realized there ARE in fact other games like this. the inevitable is delayed for a moment longer...

Very simple but satisfying, Fun reading some proverbs I've never heard of before. Great game to play while you listen to something
play at your own risk: this is disgustingly addictive for all of the minesweeper freaks, you'll be eating good
I can't believe a mix of picross/nonograms feels this exciting. The massive canvas might look daunting, but it's split into self-contained (and thus solvable in much shorter time!) regions which happen to roughly correspond to the titular proverbs Bruegels painted into [i]Netherlandish Proverbs[/i], giving fun little breaks to the play as well as introducing me to some fun new proverbs I'm certain to remember 10 years from now while doing the dishes.
A real good brain teaser. I didn't expect to like this game as much as I did. I flit between making slow progress on the game and work, but it genuinely has been a real nice de-stressor. The mechanics are easy to understand but finding the patterns through practice is very satisfying.
I could've sworn I knew how to count...
[h3] 隙間時間に遊べるゲームなのにおもしろくて隙間時間にならない [/h3] ■どんなゲーム ピクロス風マインスイーパー ■感想 面白かった~ 隙間時間に遊べると思いきや、面白い&中毒性が高く結果隙間時間にならない (もちろん任意のタイミングで止められる仕様です) パズルゲーは仮置きして進めることも少なくないですが、このゲームは絶対に確定出来る箇所がどこかにあるので直感的に遊べます 非常によく出来てた パズラーは是非!
A very chill and simple puzzle game to play while watching something!
Un Picross en el que tendremos que descubrir un enorme mural que no hace sino referencia a una pintura tan mítica como son "Los proverbios flamencos" de Brueghel el Viejo. Con un perfecto diseño del rompecabezas numérico. Creando un buen tempo de juego gracias a la división por secciones y el añadido de las explicaciones del mismo cuadro y los dichos a los que referencia. Acompañando la experiencia con un genial trabajo de pixel art y un hilo musical francamente perfecto para lo que requería el juego. Poco o nada que achacarle, la verdad. Tan solo, tal vez, el mal medido uso de los avisos de error, que bien podrían explotarse para superar el juego sin la menor dificultad. Sin embargo, no deja de ser un detalle menor en la que es una experiencia la mar de amena, disfrutable y sorprendentemente adictiva.
