I'm replaying this set of picross puzzles, which are nice, but do note that whatever was used to check for "logically solvable, so you'll never have to guess" isn't perfect: the crescent moon in the 15x15 basic set has two possible solutions (the game doesn't accept the chunkier one with a dot in the center even though it satisfies all the clues) and at least one of the mural tiles in that set requires a bit of guessing (unless you can look ahead like 10 moves). So be prepared for the occasional glitch.

This was the first picross game I've played and it's really well done. It's easy to get the hang of but the difficulty scales up nicely. It's a very relaxing game with great puzzles.

This was my first dedicated picross game (I think I had previously played a picross demo on the DS many years ago). The amount of time I spent on the game is distorted by the fact that I left it open often (you cant close a specific puzzle or you lose progress on it), but there is easily enough content here to make it worth the cost, plus you are supporting some really great organizations. Picross is a good mediumweight type of puzzle that wont burn your brain out but also has you thinking a little bit; because of this its great to play a puzzle or two before bed because itll tire you without stressing you.

First picross game and it's great. Starts easy enough and then you have to really think. Definitely a must-buy for the fun, cheap price and a very worthy cause.

Great puzzle game with excellent pixel art. Very smooth gameplay. Good difficulty curve as you progress through the levels. Later sections have very detailed, challenging puzzles.
