Game Description
Picture this: a puzzle game that combines numbered sequences, empty squares, and eye-catching rewards. Can you see it? Because if you do, you see Picross! Picross puzzles have sequences of numbers next to each puzzle column and row. Decode the sequence to learn how many squares - and which ones - need to be filled in. Guess wrong and you'll be penalized. Solve the puzzle and you'll be rewarded with a picture. Do it in less than an hour and you'll get a bonus animation. Grids vary from simple 5x5 teasers to mind-melting 15x15 mammoths. You can design your own puzzles, create your own picture rewards, play wireless mini-games with friends, download and trade puzzles, and more.
