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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Loved coloring pixels so this was a natural fit
at first the concept of this game is kinda neat, up until you are doing the same puzzle about a hundred or so times. also doesn't help that the difficulty of the puzzles never increase or decrease. My playthrough consisted of me using the same techniques I'd use for a easy to slightly less easy nonogram puzzles for about 23 or so hours. for anyone thinking about playing this, I'd suggest just about any other nonogram/picross game instead.

A creative way of playing minesweeper, right difficulty level for me, nice music
I saw this game recommended on a video about Picross games and was immediately fascinated and knew I had to get it. I love the idea of filling out one gigantic puzzle, one chunk at a time, and the fact that it was based on a piece I remember seeing in my art classes in college made it that much better! I didn’t really know how to play Minesweeper though (despite my multiple attempts as a child in the 90s), so it took me a minute to pick up on the basic strategies. After filling out a couple sections, I was able to wrap my brain around it, and uh… Well. I’ve played for roughly 12 hours over the past three days or so and I now see orange and red squares and numbers when I shut my eyes, and my dreams are starting to be overlayed with numbered squares. Send help. But for real, this game as good. If you’re into Picross or minesweeper or puzzles like this in general, it will probably grip you the same way it did me. My ONE criticism is that I wish it had a few more musical tracks, but it’s a very minor criticism as the tracks the game does have are very calm and don’t call too much attention to themselves, so the repetition is not truly annoying—it’s just barely noticeable enough that I occasionally find myself wishing there were one or two more tracks. Otherwise, fantastic game. I am probably going to continue to dream in numbered squares for the next week or so.
Okay slop for when you just want to turn off your brain and listen to a podcast. Barely got a thumbs up: Not worth the full price, so buy it on sale.

同シリーズを何本かやってるけど、操作性がちょっとずつ異なるのが難点 本作だとコントローラーのLRでスクロールモードとクリックモードが切り替わるみたいだけど 他は切り替えなんてしなくても左手のコントローラーでスクロール、右手のマウスでクリックができていた。 他に慣れてるからってこともあるけど、操作性最悪に感じる やむを得ず、エッジスクロールも試してみたがWスクリーンの方向だとマウスカーソルが突き抜けてしまって うまくスクロールできない 結論:シングルスクリーンの人はエッジスクロールの設定にすれば問題ないが、自分みたいにWスクリーンで コントローラーを使いたい人には無理
Just the right amount of being very simple to understand + having a little bit of logic thinking to work through it and so satisfying to work through. I've barely scratched the surface but it just feels nice to play. I'm not sure why this tickles my brain so much, but I like how you're meant to work at it in little chunks and love that they give you SUCH a huge canvas to work towards filling. I was never crazy about minesweeper (I mean, it's fine, but it's, you know... minesweeper! Nothing too exciting!) but even still I really enjoy this. After an hour the pattern recognition started to click and it becomes easier to move along without overthinking. I also LOVE the simple quality of life features like erasing mistakes since I frequently misclick due to playing on a laptop and have right clicks register as left sometimes. Great if you want to watch a show/listen to an audiobook or podcast, or just unwind. I'll probably be picking up some of the dev's other games once I finish this one.
