PictoQuest

This Picross/Nonogram game is fairly unique in it's presentation. For the majority of puzzles you have health and anwhere between 1-3 enemies that attack on a timer, which reduces health. Enemies also get an attack when you fill in an incorrect square. Lose enough health and you fail the puzzle. That is where this game lacks for me a bit. A timer gets you to rush. I don't mind playing with a timer but rushing makes you make mistakes. Unlike many other nonogram games, when you make a mistake the game forceably(you can't turn this off) tells you since you take damage and the square becomes un-fillable. It's still pretty good given the lack of nonogram games on Xbox. There is 100 puzzles from 5x5 to 20x20 and getting all achievements is a breeze if you like the genre. It's a nonogram game so it's good but I just don't like an implementation that forces auto solutions to the player, still a great time though since I love this type of puzzle.

Fun game. I had two broke achievements. Looks like entering the shop, buy/sell and leave triggers the checks. Beat this game like a year ago, glad its fixed.

I love nonograms and the whole battle thing is a great twist. I hope we're in store for more puzzles in the future.

I had never played a pictogram puzzle game and had no idea what these puzzles were, but it was on sale for $3 so i snagged it, and i'm so glad i did. I got around 40 hours of play time out of 100% it (just play through the game doing all puzzles to get all cheevos). It's worth the $8 price. Honestly, it's a steal at that price. It has rpg elements which allow you to increase your health, and potions to restore health and help with puzzle battles. It starts with 5x5 puzzles and eventually progresses to 20x20. Its genuinely a great game and i hope they make a sequel.

Cute presentation for a Picross/nanogram game with nice pictures to reveal. Scratches that Picross itch quite nicely. Also runs great on xCloud.
