Description

Paint squares as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a blank grid with clues on the left of every row and on the top of every column. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting blocks in each row and column so their length and sequence corresponds to the clues.

Pic-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Japanese invention offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game enables zooming the entire puzzle, or just the grid area while keeping the clue-panes locked. Other features include a unique fingertip cursor for playing large puzzles with ease and precision, and a show/hide/lock rulers option helping focus on one row and column at a time.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Pic-a-Pix includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Pen-E,
Great puzzles!
I’ve been doing this kind of puzzle for years. These are some of the best. This app includes genuinely challenging puzzles. You don’t have to spend money to try some harder puzzles. And after you get through them all, there’s also a free weekly released puzzle. I liked it so much, i did buy a couple of puzzle sets. I really enjoy this developers puzzles and I want to support him or her. (If you haven’t seen the other puzzles, you should really check them out... personal opinion, they’re all good.)
I like the interface... the way you choose color or lack of color is intuitive, and the ability to lock the row and column selector is a great feature I don’t remember seeing anywhere else. It’s epically usefully for the large puzzles.
I highly recommend this to experienced puzzle players.
Beginners, there are a few easy games and a set of instructions, but it puzzles get harder fast. I’d say try it. If you find the puzzles too difficult, check out any of the dozen or more competitive apps that have a full set if easy puzzles to warm you up, and then come back and try these again.
Singlikeabird,
Fantastic game, I'm addicted!
FYI you get 42 puzzles free and one new free puzzle a week. Other packs cost like 2-3 dollars and come with like 20 puzzles. But they're so fun. And it actually has good pictures. I can't find other similar apps that make as good of pics or are as fun to complete. Also I love that there are themed packs—I bought a romantic theme and it had all these cutesy pictures of love and it was adorable! I would totally recommend this game if you like logic puzzles.

Edit: I do have one complaint about this game. I play it on a phone and primarily use my thumb, but the color choices are on the top of the screen, so they aren't comfortable to reach. The bottom of the screen is completely empty, and it seems like it would be a good idea to put the color choices down there where they would be easy and comfortable to reach. It's a little thing but something that's begun to irritate me after playing for a long time. I would love to see this changed in a future update :)
axelred13,
Best Picross app available!
I tried 10+ different Picross apps and this one is the best by far. There are hundreds of puzzles of varying difficulty levels to choose from and the controls are great. Cursor mode makes doing large puzzles on my small iPhone 7 screen totally possible. Other apps have terrible controls, lots of bugs, and their puzzles are way too easy because they have to fit on small screens. The Easy level in this app is like other apps' Max Difficulty level. Also, the developer updates this app and adds new puzzles regularly. Most other Picross apps on the App Store have been abandoned.

Minus 1 star because the pricing model is a bit expensive if you do a lot of puzzles. You buy puzzles in packs of 20 for $0.99 to $3.99 based on size and difficulty. I wish there was an option to get all the puzzles for a one time fee. Or at least more puzzles per pack. Relative to other apps and games on the App Store, these puzzle packs are expensive. But worth it!

Feature request: Dark mode or dark themes for playing at night!
Blue Pine,
fun puzzles, but have a strong wish
UPDATE: The developer's thoughtful response has earned back the 5th star. However my wish remains. Adding additional palettes, perhaps to specially named groups of puzzles, could certainly retain contrast and solvability, if done with the care typical of this company. ~~~~~~ ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love doing these puzzles. They're fun, yet encourage you to think, and to be be careful!!! And the implementation and navigation are surprisingly workable. I wouldn't have thought it possible to create an effective way to do these puzzles without paper and pencil, but they've done it. Love 'em!!! ......WISH LIST - I'm tired of the limited color scheme across all the gazillion puzzles that you offer - this company has the best navigation, but additional beautiful colors, shades, and tones should be offered after all these years. There are some other puzzle sets by other companies that are inspirational with their artistic beauty.
kbib,
Very challenging
I like the puzzles. Time flies when playing this. Often I think I’m stuck, only to then solve another block, which usually then reveals more blocks. So far I’ve been able to solve all with straight, simple logic and no guessing. Early on I switched back and forth between black/white puzzles and color puzzles because the method of solving changes a little. I’ve gone 100% color now. Originally I wasn’t happy with the limited number of puzzles with my purchase. But even with only 60 total, there are many, many hours of puzzle solving included. And there are hundreds of additional puzzle packs you can purchase for a small fee. One of my favorite games on my phone. Conceptis is has many more games, of which I have several.

Ten year veteran of this game
Shocking to think it’s been this long, but there’s no other game that has held my attention like this one. As an artist, I appreciate the cleverly done and sometimes humorous designs. Working out the logic gives my old brain a nice workout. I’ve gradually worked up to doing some “very hard” puzzles, which feels like a real accomplishment even though I have allow myself a few “hints” by testing the results of marking a square. But after tackling those, the ones simply marked “hard” seem much easier. I’ve only encountered two trivial bugs in all these years, and tech support has been responsive and helpful. True, it can get a little pricey if you go through the puzzles like potato chips, but they’re a healthier alternative.
SpiritTrekker,
Addictive!
I am addicted to pixel puzzles, and have been since they were introduced in Games magazine (about two decades ago). I’m serious! And Conceptis makes most of the best puzzles, which is probably why Games magazine has featured their puzzles so often. They also make the best app for pixel puzzles.

This app game would have earned 5 stars from me, but for two issues I have with it. It is not set up like the online Conceptis Pic-a-Pix puzzle play. I would especially like to be able to pick a column and row highlighter color that works better for me, and to be able to put my finger or stylus directly on the squares I wish to color). Another reviewer wrote that the puzzles are a bit too expensive, and I agree that some do seem a bit too costly.

I am delighted that Conceptis made an app to satisfy my “addiction” (except for my two fairly minor issues6. Thank you, Conceptis!
swerner916,
Fun
I love these types of logic puzzles and generally I really like the design of the Conceptis games. I really like the idea of having a “ruler” to mark where I am in the grid, but I am finding it hard to get used to moving the cursor in order to fill a square. I will sometimes tap a square to fill it, but the cursor is elsewhere, so I end up changing a different square than I meant to. That is very frustrating. But I am getting used to it. The puzzles have all been really cute and fun.

ADDEDDUM****ok after moving on from the very simple beginning puzzles and doing the large ones where the boxes are really tiny, I totally get the cursor and how to move it around and why it is so helpful! So I am changing my review from 4 to 5 stars. I get it now. It’s really good. The puzzles are creative and excellent.

Stress Relief and Makes Waiting Easier
I’ve used this Pic-a-Pics app for years. I’ve purchased hundreds and I’ve cleared old ones to play again- although I was surprised to find that I remember them. They also spark memories of whatever else I was doing at the time I worked it.

I have lots of doctor appointments, but 99% of the time, working these little puzzles at whatever difficulty fits my mood, truly helps.

One problem now and then that I’ll finish a puzzle with one error and no ‘x’ blocked. Happens maybe 1 in 200 puzzles but it’s a relatively minor glitch. I roll through the whole thing already worked and that usually finds or fixes the error.

I’ll go months without touching it but I’ve always come back. I often even look up something I didn’t know about, especially famous portraits, landmarks, etc.

I typically go for the mid sized puzzles as I’m often on my small iPhone

Also there aren’t nearly enough Landscape oriented puzzles.

I can’t justify taking a star away for any of the trivial problems I’ve mentioned. And I’ve mentioned all the problems I’ve ever had in this review.

Good luck
Texgal82,
Best Ever!
This is actually the very first review of an app that I’ve ever done; so, here goes. I have 10 different Nonogram apps downloaded and this is by far the very best. The squares are responsive and the tools are well thought out and easy to use. There are always free puzzles but even the ones that you can purchase are a very reasonable price. I began doing these Japanese puzzles about 30 years ago, way before these wonderful apps were available and while I still do love my old school puzzle books, the “Check” feature sure is nice to have! I can’t recommend this strongly enough. From a person who’s done literally 1000’s of these puzzles, you won’t regret downloading this app.
