picross fan here, love this so much!
Haven't played Story of Seasons, but can't have too many nonograms!
Wow this is cool. Like the fact it’s the OG farmers too.
I did not expect this to be the new game the dev had been teasing! It’s so cool
I've been playing Piczle Cross Adventure lately. Picked up the bundle containing it and another nonogram game some time ago. It can't quite reach the high standard of Jupiter's Picross series but it's not too far off. Some hints stay active when they should already gray out but they do eventually. It's a minor inconsistency.
As far as this game goes, it looks really nice. I haven't played Story of Seasons (or Harvest Moon for that matter) but I'm always up for themed puzzles. I doubt it lasts me 30 hours, probably closer to half of that, but 350 puzzles is a good amount, especially if they are all unique. One thing I don't like about Picross is that they use the same images for Mega Picross which does double the puzzle count but it's not as exciting to see the same images twice even if the puzzle solving process changes quite a bit.
I'm a sucker for quirky themed puzzle games.
Have the Kemono Friends and Hatsune Miku ones. Will probably end up picking this one up, too!
Might add this to the wishlist, given how much I do love me some Picross.
That said, Jupiter's latest Picross title (Logiart Grimoire) is still running its Kickstarter campaign for about a week longer until it closes, aiming for a Switch release around March next year. Definitely another one to watch.
Any Picross fan should check out Tents & Trees, you'll love it.
My kinda thang! Ha.
I would've never guessed we'd get a Picross game based on Story of Seasons, but I'm all for it!
This is amazing. I spend way too much time playing Picross, and also enjoy life sim games. This will likely become one of my most played games, thanks to the fact that I never remember the solution to picross puzzles after completing them. Poor memory has its benefits.
