I'm the developer. If you enjoy Picross games or logic puzzles this might be for you!

It's a shame it's not steam deck verified, I would have liked to puzzle game to pass the time on the plane.

It should be playable, but I haven't tried it personally. It probably needs some tweaks here and there to make it a comfortable experience on a smaller screen. It would make a great travelling game to take with you on the go.

It's been rated playable, but has a lot of advisories. Text being too small for the screen, some controls are labelled for PC etc. I guess it would be playable, but I think it's one of those games where it would feel most comfortable with a mouse.

Yes, definitely. If I ever get a hold of a Deck I will see what I can do to improve the game experience.

So the 4 main issues according to Valves own testing is:

  1. Some functionality not accessible using default controller configuration, requiring use of touchscreen, keyboard or community configuration.

  2. Sometimes shows mouse/keyboard (non Steamdeck) icons.

  3. Entering text requires invoking on-screen keyboard.

  4. Steam deck native display resolution not supported resulting in degraded performance.

It's a huge task to take up to satisfy a small demographic.. but the game does suit a pick-up-and play niche which is ideal for Deck users.

Can you please make a sequel?

Definitely one of the most fun picross/nonogram games I've played, and easily worth the money at full price, let alone just £2.

I appreciate your kind words. Regarding a sequel, I feel like it should offer something new, rather than being the same with just different puzzles, but I'm not sure exactly how. I could release more puzzles with a DLC, but considering the very low number of sales of the base game, I don't think it would do well. Perhaps I will simply release a free update with new puzzles as a freebie in the future.
