I finished all of the main picross puzzles on this finally (no assist, no big deal). I had tried a little bit of the mega picross puzzles in the past and didn’t really like them. I thought I’d give them a whirl again just to see if they grabbed me, and I’m hooked now. I’ve cranked through 50 or so of them, and they’re way more interesting than I initially thought. I feel like I should start a YouTube channel like the cracking the cryptic people have, but instead of it being geniuses who solve impossible puzzles super fast, it would focus on mediocre picross puzzle solving, and lots of cursing when you have to restart.

I don’t exactly understand how jupyter cranks these out so cheap. Either they sell a ton of copies of these things, or they’re just easy to make. $7 or $8 doesn’t seem like enough for how much content you get in one of these games.

I think I’ve played this game more than any other game on my switch so far. I haven’t even touched the megapicross stuff, which seems impossible to my dumb brain. The regular puzzles are pretty great, and I love just picking up and playing for 15 - 20 minutes at a time at the end of a night.

I'm a big puzzle game lover, and I have fond memories of playing through Picross DS on my DS Lite on the train, going into work. So I was excited when I saw that there's a new Picross game out on Switch. I'm really liking it so far.
