very fun game... because of the challenge. I have played several levels and have been able to solve by using logic.. have not needed hints. I you make an error just click the correct response over the square for no penalty.
I recommend this game!

I struggle with this on the first go but my fault as I just plunged right in expecting it to be like most of the griddlers I've played. It's actually a bit more like the zen style game that some griddlers have offered and which I love. I have only played five games so far and all I have solved by logic. I think I will buy this and hope the rest of the game is as good
I recommend this game!

This is the first 'Picross' I've ever played and it is much harder the usual mosaic type game. Very little help, no colours to choose from, no choice of anything really....and I'm loving it!
This game presents a challenge that I've not seen for a long time. I suppose the nearest would be 'zen' mode in the penguin games; nothing crossed off and no clue as to whether you've got it right or wrong ...Show more
This is the first 'Picross' I've ever played and it is much harder the usual mosaic type game. Very little help, no colours to choose from, no choice of anything really....and I'm loving it!
This game presents a challenge that I've not seen for a long time. I suppose the nearest would be 'zen' mode in the penguin games; nothing crossed off and no clue as to whether you've got it right or wrong until the end, when it won't let you move on until you correct your mistakes (assuming you can find them!). Oh and if you give up, the game saves your progress, so you can continue where you left off.
There is a blue button that shows you how many mistakes you've made; it also fills in the blanks on completed lines and columns but doesn't show you where the mistakes are, so it's up to you to find them. I actually found it easier to re-start the level than search for a mistake; looking for a needle in a haystack would be a doddle compared to finding one (or more) wrong blue square in a sea of blue squares!
There are hints available but you have to buy them with the money earned from completing levels. They're pretty expensive and to be honest, not much help; I'd rather pick a square to open than have the game choose it for me.
There are some mah-jong games in between the picross levels, presumably to calm the player down after the frustration of trying to find that wrong square! It works too :-)
I am hooked on this game. There's no denying it is very challenging but so far I've completed 13 levels (4 picross per level) with 3 stars. A lot of restarting to get this far but I'm enjoying the challenge. I hope there will be more of these games! Show less
I recommend this game!

This game is similar to solving picross the old-fashioned way...with a pencil and paper. I have really enjoyed it so far (on my 16th game and no guessing has been required).
There are 40 levels; each level appears to have four games (levels are locked until the previous level is completed, so I don't know if future levels will have more or less games).

This game is similar to solving picross the old-fashioned way...with a pencil and paper. I have really enjoyed it so far (on my 16th game and no guessing has been required).
There are 40 levels; each level appears to have four games (levels are locked until the previous level is completed, so I don't know if future levels will have more or less games).
So far, I have not needed a hint, but it appears I easily have enough coins now if I need one. I've been able to solve all so far with logic and working through mistakes I made when my "logic" has been mistaken.
Pros: Game can be solved using logic. The computer does not automatically cross off squares or numbers for you, so you really have to use careful logic to complete without guessing. I like this aspect. So far, no penalty for errors, which I prefer since it is easy to mis-click (i.e., trying to X a square and marking it instead). No worrying about changing colors, etc. Just plain logic and challenge to solve.
Cons: I only gave four stars because the game does not have an erase feature. Since the game does not show you where you have made an error, it needs to allow you to erase an X or a mark (you can change a mark to an X or vice versa, but you cannot clear a square...which it really needs to allow you to do when you mark or X by mistake). This makes it very difficult when you are trying to use logic. It should allow you to blank out the square or put in a question mark or something other than a mark or X. Hoping a future version will include an erase feature.
I recommend this game for those who enjoy a true challenge...like the old days of picross on paper when you didn't have a computer to cross of boxes or numbers for you. Show less
I recommend this game!

Believe it or not, I endorse both KatesMom's and pennmom's reviews here, with the possible exception about being unable to solve by logic alone.
But I want to restress one point: That after you've made a choice--box or X--in a square, there is no way to blank it again. And not being preternaturally gifted at never clicking where I shouldn'ta (and may not even have meant to!), I wanted to do ...Show more

And not being preternaturally gifted at never clicking where I shouldn'ta (and may not even have meant to!), I wanted to do that at least once on every blasted level after the first few.
Mostly because of that collision of flaws between me and the game, I'm quitting partway thru the demo. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

This is a Mosaic Griddler that has the same feature as Picross Fairytale: Legend of the Mermaid, by the same developer, where the cells have to be crossed off manually. Once the correct number of filled cells have been added, a Blue Gem will appear on the column and/or row.
There are no settings to choose that will automatically cross-off cells, even when both the column and row has been correctly filled in. The appearance of the Blue Gem doesn't necessarily mean that it has been correctly filled in, the only way to know for certain, is to use the Line Checking Booster. The number inside the Line Checking Booster indicates how many lines it will check, and it checks those completed lines and simply tells you how many are correct and how many mistakes have been made, not where the mistakes are. You are penalized for every mistake you make, and for using the Line Checker because you lose stars! This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to guess at most of the puzzles because most of the levels cannot be solved purely by applying logic!
Technically, you can use a Hint... after you buy them that is...Oh, just one important notation here, by the time you get to the guesser griddlers you haven't earned enough coins to buy even a single hint, (that's right, you don't get a single lousy freebie) Coins are located behind the cells that are filled in, but that won't do you any good if you can't fill in a cell without guessing, and with no means of knowing if you guessed correctly, it becomes a vicious cycle! If you do happen to earn enough coins you can buy Hint packages, 1 hint =1000 coins, 5 hints = 4750, 10 hints = 9000, 25 hints = 20,000, and 50 hints = 35,000. Having to buy "Hint Packages," is a huge Red Flag which tells me there's going to be a whole lot of guessing going on.
You can earn up to 3 Stars per puzzle completed if you haven't made mistakes (or used a booster that shows a mistake) 2 Stars if you made 2 or more mistakes, and 1 Star if you made more than 4 mistakes. At least they allow you to replay the levels. It also claims you can earn over 15 rewards and Trophy Achievements (which I'm pretty sure that translates to 16 trophies)
Another annoying feature is that the rows or columns aren't highlighted until you actually click on the cell to fill it in or cross it off. When you click on a cell to fill it correctly, the column and row will flash each time in a cross formation. The graphics are far from being "Stunningly Illustrated" and the grids themselves are busy looking because of all the huge X's all over the board. The cells you fill in only consists of a single Blue hue, once completed, the image magically appears as a multi-colored image???!!!???
