Very good/simple logic puzzles. The graphics are good, the music can be muted, and it's remarkably entertaining. Good work.

2/5 not to great, why even add dwarf if there isn't a story line? This isn't very fun, the +1 min is big problem, it needs to add different times depending on the level.
the time limit just makes it less fun, because you feel rushed, not the fun that real game is, where you feel the nice glow of a job well done, the only reason to play this would be to get badges, even then, it wouldn't be fun, it'd be work

2/5 I enjoyed the game play but like many have stated I had a hard time distinguishing brown from purple and I thought the medal times were just flat out ridiculous. I mean 10 seconds for the first puzzle and you don't even have a clue what you're looking for. Needs some major polishing before I rate it any higher.

WHat makes this game suck is the fact that if you make one mistake, you cant get the medal. Hopefully if theres are badges, they wont require in game medals

Slight variation on Picross, with a very poorly conceived achievement system. The ArmorPicross games were challenging because you had a limited number of mistakes, and the challenge times were all beatable on the first try. In contrast, mistakes here add 1 minute to the total time, but that's meaningless because gold medal times are impossible to meet without knowing the image beforehand. ArmorPicross rewards precise logic and quick thinking, this game rewards random scribbling and memorization, pretty much the exact opposite of why Picross is fun.

I originally rated this game a 5/5 but as I became increasingly confused about the colors, I changed to 3/5. I will not rate any higher unless a colorblind mode is added.

I usually like puzzle games, but for some reason I just don't like it. I mean I understand it, I just don't find it very fun to play. To be honest, I don't think you should get so much credit, as it is basically Picross, just jazzed up a bit. I find the rules very boring, short, and should have some playability so you know for sure how to play (in other words it should be a tutorial, not an instructions page) and it shouldn't take that long to struggle with a few levels, I had to complete level 15 to find a puzzle that taxed my brain. 3/5. I just don't enjoy it. I was blumming looking forward to it as well.

It's nice looking, but it's form over function. Get rid of some pictures and give more room for the actual puzzle. Really needs a marker option, so I can flag a piece. Needs a counter flag too. It's pretty, and the multicolor is cool, but it's missing things.

First 5/5 i've given in a long time. Great job. Needs awesome badges. I hate how master and grandmaster are setup tho. its annoying.

Like many have already stated, the colours are hard to see against the brown background. Either change the colour of the puzzle background to white or some other contrasting colour. Nice game otherwise

really good, very challenging... i like it =] But the thing with the colours is right (gray hard to see and some hard to differ)

Its called "japanese crossword" in norway too:). I cannot believe i bought 30 pages of theese puzzles, when Kongregate have them free on the net! But the ones i buy are waaaaay more advanced, up to 150x150!

Ok, no offence intended, the game is good, but the opening newspaper is WAY cooler than anything else. Seriously. 5/5 just for going to the trouble of making that. And the dwarf.

Just had time to play a few puzzles, but this seems like a really nice game to me. So far I've hard no problems. Really, just the sort of game I've been looking for.

Also in Russia it's called ‘japanese crossword’. It's probably because all kinds of word puzzles are called ‘ crosswords’. BTW, pretty nice game. Reminds me of Arcanum. 5/5

Much nicer than picross. More polished look. Gameplay-wise, if you are filling in a row or column and accidentally slip into another row or column, it doesn't count that as trying to fill in those slots (this annoyed me so much in picross). Nice game.

speaking of color, some colors are pretty hard to see (grey) and others are hard to distinguish between on the the markers on the side(purple/brown for instance)

bug-ish thing here. if you move your mouse really fast in and out of the game, the pussle flashes on and off and the timer doesnt change

Maybe it's just my computer but the higher-size puzzles are pretty unplayable. The grid is too large, so you can't see all of the numbers that you have to work with. Makes it pretty unplayable, I'm afraid.

My only complaint is the auto-correct. I'd like to be able to misclick or poke around a little without the game deducting from my score AND giving me the right color for that square.

Picross with colors? My mind is blown. I just wish you had played more with the concept. Only a tiny minority of the puzzles are multicolor.
