Fill in the mosaic picture through answering the questions placed on the grid. Follow the hints provided to you in the form of numbers placed at the borders. This puzzle is more satisfying than a crossword not only because it's more colorful, but it's of a much bigger scale, consisting of riddles of all sorts of categories.
With its 600 or more riddles, this game is suitable for the whole family to play together. By combining everyone's efforts you can surely complete any intricate picture.
The game is suitable for all ages not only for its wholesome nature, but also for its user friendliness. The picture grid can be adjusted according to your experience and a tutorial is included for total beginners to learn about the game with.
No title The only major flaw in this game is that the puzzles are not very challenging. Also, I do not believe the game has any wifi or downloadable abilities.
However, the controls are excellent, even better than that of Picross DS. There are 400 puzzles total, 100 of which are color puzzles. Color picross are great fun, requiring a different set of--or really, an expansion on--the logic rules used for the game.
The rest of the puzzles are monochrome, but 85 of them are "composite" puzzles (for lack of a better word). Each composite puzzle forms only part of a larger picture; you don't see the larger picture until you have successfully cleared all the puzzles that make up the larger picture (of course!). There are 10 large pictures that are made up of 4 puzzles (2x2) and 5 large pictures that are made up of 9 puzzles (3x3).
This is a Hudson title, and many of the puzzle solutions depict Hudson sprites and characters. This game allows for 3 separate save files. There are three bland BGMs which can be accessed from the start menu (when in a puzzle, press start+A) and ultimately 25 background images (5 bgs, 5 colors; when in a puzzle, press start, A up on the D-pad, A).
Knowing Japanese is unnecessary for playing this game. The menus can be confusing but you can learn them a little at a time. Menu layouts have a logic to them--the first menu option almost always takes you forward (this game is no exception). If you get somewhere you don't want to be, remember that B is 'cancel' or 'back' (or it will take your cursor to the 'no' option), A is confirm (or will take your cursor to the 'yes' option), and start pauses and unpauses.
