However, like in the traditional mode, there is no indication of the level of difficulty, and every puzzle is available from the start. In this mode, corresponding numbers can belong to one or two cells/rows, making it a little bit more difficult to solve a puzzle. Despite of the sound, 'Mega' does not refer to grid size, but to the type of game. Sadly, none of this is seen in here.Īnother mode that is offered is Mega picross. That way, players can feel good about themselves after solving a difficult puzzle. It would have been nice to solve easy puzzles to unlock harder ones, and to get an indication of how difficult a puzzle was. While the player can see the grid size before selecting a puzzle to play, this usually gives little indication of the difficulty of certain levels. That way, it would feel more rewarding to complete a puzzle.Īdditionally, none of the puzzles offer an indication of the difficulty level. While each puzzle creates a picture, it would have been nice to get the satisfaction of unlocking further puzzles by solving others. That makes for an almost disappointing gameplay.
Every puzzle is available right away, which means there is no need to solve certain puzzles to unlock others. This is the traditional way of playing picross, with numbers corresponding to only one cell or row. For newcomers, a tutorial is offered for each mode, which can also be skipped if the player is familiar with the gameplay - but what do the different modes offer? First of all, the normal picross mode offers a number of picross grids to solve. Next to the normal mode it also offers 'Mega picross' and 'Clip picross,' perhaps in an attempt to spice up what would eventually get a little dull.
