As a big fan of Picross, may I say, well done. This game has a twist with the multicoloured aspect and provides a good challenge.

I like these puzzles, but I'd like a key to toggle to the next color, or something. I kept getting times of 1 hour or more on the multi colored ones, even though they took at most 20 mins because I kept using the wrong color. Also, if you can't fit all the numbers in the slot, make the slot bigger! Its annoying when you can't see all of the numbers all the time and when they expand into your puzzle when you are filling stuff in.

I finished the 6 grandmaster level and despite every square showing as correct it doesn't notice and complete the level.

i dont know how this game is maintaining such a high rating. i love these games, i have a book full of these puzzles. but this is incredibly frustrating to play large puzzles without being able to see the whole thing. That is a huge failure in my opinion. 1/5 becuase all you did was take a game that already exists and make it annoying to play.

Same for the 41-45 rows with a bunch of brown ones that form the right border on the first pair of legs, don't really have to form borders, can make spaces where the borders should be and put them one space after.

Played all levels, one level is ambiguous, which is the 50x50 the 9th and 10th rows both have 3 brown on the end, if one goes to the left from the center of 5 spaces, the other goes to the right. No way to tell which row goes right and which left.

Aluminum, you are an idiot. That's like saying hacking in a multiplayer game is winning. You can do the same thing to any game, provided you are smart enough with cheat engine. So shut up, all you did was prove your stupidity.

It's too easy to cheat. First, click all the squares and know what the picture is. Copy it, and then redo the puzzle to get a faster time.

@ekimekim: Thats not a valid solution for puzzle 8, is why it didnt accept it (fails row and col #3). The numbers do not simply count the total in each row or column they also tell you abou thte relative distribution. IE a '3' does not only mean 3 pixels in that row, it means 3 consecutive (that is how it is different than say a '1 1 1' or '1 2', etc).
I love picross puzzles and some of the 20x20 and 25x25 ones are quite challenging. I especially like the way the strategy alters slightly when you throw in two or more colours..

sometimes there is a bug showing all numbers greyed out though one field is missing (coloured fields mismatch with the number at the side)
after some experiments this bug can appear when a rank is completely filled, for example the row: 1 1 2 1 1 1 will be shown as ok when filled with x_x_xx_x_x
(x marking a filled field and _ the cross)
this is because the numbers are checked from both sides and greyed out as soon the number of fields are found.
so in case a row/column is completely filled the check must determine that blocks are missing.
but nevertheless it is an awesame game :) good work :)

I have just spend an hour in a 30x30 puzzle and have all the numbers turned off and dont win.... If the puzzle has more than one way of solving then you should change the way it says you win...

It was nice till I got to grand master levels.
If you can't see the whole board without panning around it shouldn't be there imho.

"Satisfying" a number can be done by placing crosses all over the row/column. So, even if you did not fill in all correct colours, it would seem like you finished the row if the remaining pieces are filled with crosses.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good game but I agree about some of the problems (overlapping numbers, difficult to see the whole puzzle on later levels, etc. I also seem to have run into a bug where my puzzle won't finish. Is it possible to have satisfied all of the numbers and not be right? Happened to me on a couple of puzzles.

guys if u dun wan to be punished for clicking on the wrong tiles and get time added on, just go to options and go to free mode..
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good game, different modes allow you to play it for relaxation or a real challenge if you try to beat the times. Agree about it being difficult to see the numbers when they're on the field of play- something to hopefully address in a sequel? And as for tahsis- guys, just don't feed the troll, and push his comments off the page :)

Does need a colour blind option for, as seen below, people who do have the extremely common deficiency.
The addition of time stacking with amount of mistakes is a good idea but a few misclicks and you've found yourself with an extra 30mins on your time :S, needs reviewing, that feature.
@tahsis: English is spoken and written in many varying ways, your intolerance towards 'foreigners' is appauling.

Found a viable solution to lvl 8, it didn't recognise it:
10101
01000
00101
00000
10100
Nice concept but needs to be coded better.

Also for those idiots who complain about color blindness, first of all, for all you backwards British people, its COLOR, no goddamn U, I don't care about your minority dialect, this is an AMERICAN site. Secondly, think of blind people, how do they play these games? They don't, so shut up about how you can't play this ONE game.

great game. just finished the gryphon and was impressed with the detail in simple pixels. people who say the detail is crap haven't gotten past the apprentice or journeyman puzzles. 5/5 from me

i love the game but its not an original idea. you can find the same thing in puzzle books across the world and many other imitations on the web like Armor Picross

great game, but poorly designed... hurray for colour-blindness (or in my case, partial colour-blindness as I can't make out some colours) and that the numbers overlap the squares is also a shame, so I can't see the numbers sometimes... especially in the last mode... 2/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
fantastic game, in my opinion the only drawback is the poor resolution of the 50x50 puzzle.
Id like some badges for this game!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
5/5 very nice
Minor drawbacks: White color ;/ , the 50x50 puzzle - make a bigger frame or something, cause even with full zoom out i cant see the entire puzzle which makes it hard for me to think it over, also the overlapping numbers sometimes go mad...
