Really cute game, I really enjoyed it. It's been a while since I played picross, so I'm pretty rusty. But I did enjoy the presentation a lot. Very solid game.

It's very well executed. A Picross game with great aesthetics, good music and a few help for beginners (integrated nicely into an little adventure mode). Great job!

Did you ever play Picross for the gameboy? Picross 2 was made by the creators of Pokemon!

And they almost made a Pokemon picross:


Hmm, FYI as of this moment, I can't run the game in browser.

Developer

Oh no! That's very odd... I could generate a Windows build so you can see if that works instead.

Sorry for the confusion- it's something on this system I'm using. It works on my phone, so something is up with my browser.

Developer

All right then! Glad you got it working.

The game was actually inspired by Mario's Picross, not sure if that's the one you mean. But I didn't know about that, very cool!

Up and running! So fun!!

Yes, I meant Mario's Picross. I just started playing Mario's Picross 2 and it's been excellent.

I just unlocked  "eyerobot" : )! Looks like a game boy camera with wings to me!

Edit: Never mind I stan Mo Hawk.

A really polished entry. This game is absolutly "simple" and delivers what is suposed to do. 

Great job for everyone who developed this game. A incredible work!

Wow!  I can't give this enough stars.  So well done!  I was new to Picross, but learned it quickly and it was worth it.  There are so many other games out there to play, but I stuck with it until I solved it.  That's what fun is, right?  The music was top notch, with the adorable theme, I loved how the melody stood out.  All the pixel art was fantastic and the layout of it all was super professional.  I loved the sassy character remarks (like mo hawk), snappy controls, and that you could even save your game, reload the page and it would keep your progress.  Best I've played so far!

The presentation of this is something else!
Massive well done on the art!
The gameplay is really solid too!

Look, I'm just reporting what my uncle told me. I can't check it myself because my Pikupals cartridge got stolen! :(

Had  a blast playing this! Really good job! Something about the way picross works, wherein each level starts out pretty tough but feels great when you're closing in on solving it is so satisfying! Very fun :D

This is such a good entry! I love the way you incorporated the picross puzzles. Congrats!

Submitted(+1)

Ok, I like so much this game, but I’ll beat it’s after haha.

I like the concept and how it’s works. It’s is a my favorite type of game, think how to resolve the puzzle :).

Nice entry!

The most I've played a picross in a long time! Very cute and the party-composition mechanic is a nice touch.
