Piczle Colors - If you love Nonograms, look no further. An aggregate 300 puzzles sporting up to 15x10 dimensions await you as you try to correct your mistake and bring back color to the world. As with other games in the Picross genre, you use the numbers on the side of a given grid as clues to determine which blocks need to be left blank and which need to be shaded. There are twists, though: You are likewise required to know what colors to use in the process, and in what order they are applied.
You're right to think you have your work cut out for you with Piczle Colors. In a nutshell: It's hard. Hints are available, but if you're a completionist, the only way you get to unlock all the collectibles is to stay away from in-game help. Under the circumstances, the bright visuals and catchy music tracks are decided pluses. Ditto with the interface, which makes full use of touchscreen functions. On the whole, though, the obstacles can lead to frustration and hinder your enjoyment of an otherwise-competent compilation of picture logic puzzles.
THE GOOD
- Stellar number and variety of puzzles
- Can be enjoyed in spurts
- Touchscreen interface adds to convenience
- Unlockables incentivize no-hint completion of puzzles
THE BAD
- Clues aren't always presented well
- Can be difficult to the point of frustration
RATING: 7/10
