I really enjoy Picross type games. Soo much so that to validate myself in this review I must note that I have played over 10000 serparte levels on a single mobile app for these such puzzles. I simply enjoy the easy to grasp yet distracting nature of these games; and My Nintendo Picross TP does a fantastic job at porting those puzzles into a themed and accessible game. Particularly, outside of simply making another Picross game I would like to bring attention to some mechanics of this game that I had yet to see and quite enjoyed. This firstly being the addition of a clock system, compared to a traditional strick system. Wherein incorrect guesses for blocks work in a compounding manner to add time to said clock. Wherein apon the clock reaching a time of one hour or higher the level is not counted apon completion. Personally, I belive this addition to substaintally improve the enjoyabilty of each puzzle, as it forces me to be carfull about my decisions, but not as scared as I would be upon reaching the final strike in a traditional setting. As Well with this, and I am aware that such is not new, I really enjoyed how the larger puzzle was slowly unlocked via completion of the other main levels; kinda turing the whole game into a journy of sort. Overall making the game feel like a complete and tied in experience.
(P.S. I loved the detail of particals coming off of blocks you colour in, to make the puzzle feel as if you where carving in a drawing. Very cool)
