Good not great. The controls on my Deck are sluggish and mildly annoying, settings do not save upon closing the game on my Deck (can't speak for PC), and I vehemently despise nonogram puzzles that don't stick to grids sized in multiples of 5 (especially on large puzzles) because it forces you to stop on every single line to count spaces in either direction (at least add an in-game counter feature when you do this for god's sake!). An easy solution for the artists/developers regarding that last gripe is to simply include empty lines, which is a solution they know full-well because there are already puzzles that include them. The art is great though, it has large puzzles, and my minor annoyances do not outweigh the fun I am having with this game.
Very unique puzzles with a pleasing art style; you can tell someone with a lot of creativity designed these puzzles. Probably the most impressive part is that almost each puzzle has difficulty options that divides larger puzzles into sections, which I imagine was extremely hard to pull off. Pros: - I never had to guess to get a solution; all puzzles can be solved with logic. - unique puzzles; things an actual artist would come up with and not just basic things that you see in every nonogram game. - pleasing art style - a little bit of story. nothing crazy, just something to set the scene. - difficulty options for most puzzles - there are no unlocks for achievements hidden behind collecting medals; you can choose to do the easiest version of the puzzles and progress just fine. - challenge modes, such as doing a puzzle in 1 continuous click & drag, not using any X's, using the least amount of ink possible, and time challenges. - workshop for user submitted puzzles. mixed: - interestin...
