Pretty cool game. How it all works is a bit foggy, but I got the hang of it after seeing the solution to the first one. It bugs me how the mouse sticks for a few seconds after saving. Speaking of which, is there a way to make it stop auto-saving?

Best game in that puzzle genre ever. Easy switch controls, ability to highlight line and column. If you think that this game is boring, well... 90% games on kong are boring. Even shooters.

I like these kinds of puzzles, but I can't stand clicking every single blank space twice. I can't play this because of that flaw

Nice game, eventhough even the 15x15 puzzles ain't so hard. There should be an option to switch to the dots, so that all left clicks are dots immediately :).

@Razorbone, yes it is, but that's how i did this thing with pen and paper (they sell magazines here with several puzzles like this). So eh.. it's kinda a lot easier if you put all the dots :)

can there please be a way to turn off the rulers, they are very annoying on the smaller puzzles. Also there needs to be a better way to show a space is blank other than clicking twice, it is very tedious.

Is it just me, or is this one glitchy compared to the other Conceptis games? The cursor is almost always unresponsive for a bit after I solve a puzzle, and filling by dragging also doesn't seem to work normally.

Poor instructions, bad controls, time-consuming redundencies. I love the idea, but this game is too poorly made to recieve a good rating. 2/5

Does the mouse control feel "sticky" to anyone else? It's hard to explain, but the movement of the cursor doesn't feel fluid; it's kinda jerky. Other than that, I'm always a picross fan, but it could use a key to make cursor put down the dots, like holding shift while you click.

It's a wonderful rendition of this game.
The only problem I had is that after a while of staring at that bright magenta my eyes started getting an unpleasant sensation. Maybe consider using a different, less vibrant colour?

14 minutes it took me to finish the lion level. Compared to the 27 seconds it took me to finish a 5x5 level that's a big difference.

@curlybrian - It DOES check for correct answer, you just need to fill out the complete line with either a block or a dot. The green triangle shows the line is correct. The Red indicates that something is wrong.
Not the most original game, but nice implementation. A tutorial would be nice for beginners, but for those who know how to play, it is easy to jump right in. 4/5

Elmyr, people could well be calling it picross because that's the name they know the puzzle by. Or because they want people who know the puzzle by that name to be able to find it. It's a well-known name for the style of puzzle is all.

Have never played one of these puzzles before. Surprisingly soothing. Had to look up a set of "how to" instructions online first though as I didn't know what I was doing.

There should be achievements for like, completing all of the 5x5's, etc. I like this game, but I'd like it more if I could get points for it.

Doesn't check for correct answer? Should automatically mark numbers that are met (but not check for correct placement). Sometimes I got green and red arrows but it seemed to be very BUGGY. No button advance to next level? For a clone, this should be perfect. 1/5, poor attempt.
