How it feels

A slow-paced, methodical puzzle game that demands patient calculation and careful strategy to fill in a colorful pixel maze.

What players say

Players call it a nonogram-like logic puzzler where you fill cells with colors based on numbered clues. The difficulty ramps up sharply, and beyond size 50 there is no way to scroll vertically, which many call a design flaw. A save bug can lose progress between sessions. The developer raised the price years after release without fixing bugs, which frustrates some.
