Never played Picross before, and what a surprise! Really enjoyed this kind of game. Very nice art! You're doing a very good job as team. Well done!

Amazing game! I've never played picross, but it took me like 1 minute to learn. It's one of the best puzzles - easy to learn, hard to master :)

The game is very engaging. Kudos on palette, visuals and sound - they give that old gameboy-ish feel.

Good job!

I played this as a group. It was really fun to point at the TV and discuss the logic! It's the first time I've understood Picross and I think I would do it again. Thanks for that experience!

Very nice! Fun game with great graphics and audio.
It wasn't clear at the begining how to play and the cursor confused me, I thought that the selected was the bright cell, but maybe that's only me. Good job!

Developer

It's not just you! I know at least one person had the same problem. Post-jam I'll probably come up with ways to make the tutorial more... tutorial-y!

I love picross and I love this game! This was a great framing for a picross game and the solutions were incredibly poignant. A lot of polish all around; I could see this being a full fledged picross game release

Thank you for this game. Really. I love Picross and this may be one of my favourite twists on Picross ever.

Great aesthetics and audio! Picross is always fun, but adding a personality and some funny dialogs makes the game more enjoyable. Saving the game is also a plus.

Getting the save feature to work was a bit of a pain, so I'm glad it was worth it!

Submitted(+1)

It is! I want to finish it when the rating period finish, and it's good that I won't lose my progress.

Really Enjoyed This Game.

Holy cow! This looks amazing and the gameplay is like the mario pick one, love the style and the colors, great job! Makes me think a bit on my moves, that's a nice feeling.

A really nicely made picross game.  The number of puzzles wasn't huge, but I appreciate the personality that it got in return. (Especially that secret that wasn't who I was expecting.)

Developer

I'm really happy with the secret and people's reactions to it! As for the number of puzzles, it's possible we'll add some to the game in some form or another, so you can look forward to that.

The graphics are super cute, i never played picross before so i found it a bit hard to understand but in five minutes i was playing like nothing. i've absolutely loved the humor and the character's design, it's the soul of this game. and by the way, great color palette, i don't know if you made it from zero or you found it but please upload it to LosPec, it's really great, seriously.

Never been the best at picross but it can be very fun when you start to get the hang of it. Add in a little extra design and some dialog and boom you've one uped the picross game!

Really like the style of this game and the game board feels really good aswell. Great choice of color palette :D

Very cool game! You have done an excelent job!

I learned to play Picross for this <3

Really good audio direction and great visual execution.

Just brilliant. A professional quality game. I had so much fun with this as I love Picross! You've really done it justice, although I really can never get enough puzzles so it ended far too soon!

Art, music, gameplay, characters, world, it's all here and all amazing. Cannot rave about Pikupals enough, a stellar entry to the jam.

I had a lot of fun solving the puzzles in this.  Thank you for making it.
