  • I'm a huge fan of "Clip Picross" style puzzles that combine to form larger images, and that's most of this game.
  • Though monochromatic, the sprites on display here are varied and lovely.
  • There are a ton of puzzles, but I can count the ones I found frustrating on one hand.
  • The map-based navigation is delightful.

Really thankful for the fan translation, this was a treat.
