Hugo Smits, the man behind Goodbye Galaxy Games, has been in touch to confirm that he has a treat on the way for puzzle fans with a 3DS. His latest eShop title, Tappingo, will be reduced by 30% from 1st to 15th May — in this period it'll cost €1.99 / £1.75 / $1.99.
As is expected of titles from the developer, it takes some established ideas and applies a fairly unique twist. In this case the puzzle solving has elements of Picross, yet images are completed by filling in entire rows; there are over 100 puzzles to tackle. We awarded it 7/10 in our review, saying that "Tappingo’s price tag makes it easy to recommend to anyone who thinks they’d enjoy its brand of pixel puzzling".
A new trailer has been released to promote the upcoming discount, so check it out below and let us know whether you're tempted to make the jump in next week's download update.

I am ashamed to admit i completely forgot this game existed despite having shown a certain degree of mild interest in the past.
This one is a steal at the normal price. Haven't beaten it.
Guess Im downloading as soon as I get home from work.
I had no idea what tapingo was all about, I think I will buy it
@Buduski You get home from work on May 1st? Because that's when the sale starts
YES ! so glad i waited
i will definetly get this game in may with the discount!
This was a great deal at full price, too. I finished it a while ago, though...more, please!
Um... 3 to 2 dollars is a 33% percent drop. Not 30%. Some people need to learn how to do math.
(This is meant to be sarcastic)
@brewsky, wow thanks for that, I was on my lunch break about to get back to work when I mis read the title, guess I'll have to wait a bit for that discount
This was already a great game for it's original price. And I don't even normally like puzzle games.
It will be mine
@Klunk23 The price depends on the territories and currency used there. If you happen to get %3 extra, feel lucky!
@Frapp I hereby promise to add the additional %3 I earn from British gamers to the budget of my next game and use it to add something British to the game (the flag? A cup of tea perhaps?).
I'd tap that.
@Frapp If enough British gamers buy the game during the sale; I will hire Sir David Jason as voice actor and make him say it everytime you complete a puzzle in Tappingo 2!
@HugoSmits
Tappingo 2 just confirmed! I'll hold you to that!
LOL! I never get this kinda entertainment on U.S. Gaming sites! It's nothing but trolls everywhere elses minus unrandomsam....lol
That was a joke dude.
I love this game! It's not always easy though, I think I've lost a few fistfuls of hair.
Aside from the circus music that plays occasionally, this game is excellent. Liked it so much, i stopped playing 80 puzzles in. I'll come back to it later.
This still looks confusing to me from the videos, but for 2 bucks, I think I'll bite at it in May. I do love Picross, and this looks like a unique twist on it. If I can't get my head around it, I'll have only wasted a couple bucks.
It's great. If you like puzzle games you should pick it up.
@hugosmits Will buy it on sale if I remember just to support the developer! will get gunman cleave too.
Yeah, I'll get this on sale.
I picked it up not long after it came out, and I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth at regular price and have no regrets. I havn't beat it, but there is a lot to do. I do pretty much "get" the game now so solving puzzles generally is more of a relaxing rather than challenging experience, but its a neat puzzle concept and its just fun to see the colors roll out into a picture.
Definitely recommended if you like picture puzzle games.
Been debating this so with a price drop......it will join the download queue on Thursday along with Golf and Galaga!
