The gameplay has received criticism for its questionable changes to the traditional picross mechanics, lacking essential quality-of-life features such as greying out solved numbers and automatic filling of rows or columns. This absence makes the experience more cumbersome, overshadowing the puzzle-solving aspect and leaving players frustrated.
“The gameplay mechanics are engaging and keep you invested in solving the puzzles.”
“The quality of life features that are standard in most picross games, such as greying out numbers once you've solved their cluster, are missing.”
“The gameplay loop has some questionable changes that affect the overall experience.”
“They also made some questionable changes to the picross gameplay loop itself.”
“A lot of the quality of life mechanics that most picross games have, like greying out the numbers once you've solved their cluster, or automatically filling up the rest of the row/column with X's once you've solved it, are simply not here.”
“You'll have a harder time dealing with the lack of quality of life mechanics than you will solving the puzzles.”
