When you've filled the entire grid according to the numbers, your markings will have created a picture. Picross, also called nonograms, are puzzles you solve by filling in squares on a grid according to chains of numbers that sit alongside each row and column.

It's a nice bit of history if you're already a fan of Picross - and particularly since Flash was killed off for good at the end of 2020. It was made in a few days a short while after its creator first discovered Picross DS, and features 15 levels and a level editor. The Flash game is, no surprise, another Picross game.

The celebration is a smaller gift this time, but Pictopix is still great. It was true when John wrote his Pictopix review four years ago, it was true when the game got a huge update for its first anniversary, and it's true now at the puzzle game's 4th anniversary.
