Love this series. I've played nonogram games on other platforms, but nothing comes close to the level of quality Jupiter puts out.

Hope they do end up making more collaborations!

Yeah, love the Picross games. Jupiter games are really polished.

For some reason I didn't know about Picross X, going to give it a try.

Yeah I'd also never heard of that one. I'm not a big fan of the really small puzzles though. I've got enough Picross to last years from the mainline series anyway :D

Haha, so true. I have been playing Picross regularly since they released Picross S, and am only at S4 yet, and they have reached S9, not counting the Sega Genesis and two other collaboration ones. I don't think I am going to worry about running out Picross, as long as Jupiter is around.

BTW have you played Murder by numbers? It's a "picross" + murder mystery story. It's not by Jupiter, but I have heard good things about it. It's also on sale right now, if you are interested.

Oh man, I wish there were more games like Murder By Numbers.

Ooh, I loved Murder by numbers, bought it full price some time ago, and it was well worth that :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes Murder by Numbers is excellent! I highly recommend it if you like picross and Ace Attorney

This is cool stuff - glad to know they're thinking about what to do with the 3DS ones as well, fingers crossed for a rerelease! I had a big sweep of the 3DS/Wii U eShops before they closed to just pick up anything I wanted before they went, but I completely forgot about the Picross e games.

Waiting the day Jupiter makes also a Ken Ken game

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never heard of KenKen, just looked it up and played couple of games. It feels fun. I won't mind if Jupiter starts making some of these other puzzle games too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve always enjoyed Ken Ken a lot more than Sudokus, kudos for trying something new!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My problem with Sudoku is that you have to guess on higher difficulties. This is why I like Picross a lot more, no guessing at all, it's all logical. How is Ken Ken in this regard?
