Description

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

At last tsunami comes of age

I loved the whsmith tsunami later called hanji. Very easy to use and very addictive without sharpening my pencil. I would also like to see more medium or harder on I phone aswell as iPad versions. Finished all the ones for the phone.

Easy and fun

I recommend using the cursor. Pic a pix is a little over-sensitive to touch but after you’ve done one or two you adjust to it and for me it’s not a problem.

Love this game

Really enjoying this game, haven’t completed all free levels yet, and will be disappointed if I then have to buy levels to continue playing.
Challenging levels, I just don’t like the fact I have to press twice to mark a square as not filled

Good puzzles horrible interface

No auto fill blanks when line or column completed
Have to mark cells one by one
No ability to mark parts of line done either manually or automatically
The bigger the puzzle, the bigger these issues are.

Enjoying the challenges

The large black and white puzzles are challenging at extra hard, but the similar size colour puzzles are less so, but still enjoyable. A bug which was a little annoying has recently been fixed.
The prices for a new set of 20 puzzles are rather steep.

The easy ones fit into a bus ride or a tea break and the more difficult ones can be a real challenge. Satisfying.

Good game but poor to have to pay

Don’t like how you only get two free games and then have to buy the rest should all be free.

Hanjie

Best hanjie type game I have played. The method of play is easy to learn and manipulate. I like that I can check the results as easily as possible. The only downside is the cost. 20 games only for £2.99 I really don’t like the coloured puzzles so there is very little to choose from

Love this game!

I’ve had this game for years now, and it is still one of my staple turn-to apps. It’s even better since the updates... the new position of the tools makes it much more comfortable in the hand...which is important, as before you know it you have been playing for a couple of hours. Bit pricey for game boards, but you do get hrs of fun with each one....please more colour enigma’s though...I’ve completed them all!

Game not fit for purpose

Generally decent format but having made a few purchases the app just sticks nearly every time I play this on my iPad
Moving cursor over squares either stops or overwrites entries and then catches up and just makes it impossible to play
Contacted support and got some recommendations that I’ve probably changed settings or other apps open in the background were the issue. Which wasn’t the case.
Eventually had to send video evidence of the issue as requested to corroborate my findings
Tried everything and ended up uninstalling and re-installing app but this hasn’t resolved issue
My last contact to support bounced back as it looks like I’ve been blocked
Shame
Hope others are more successful

You can play these puzzles at a variety of levels. The hard ones take over an hour to solve - a great way to pass a long journey

Excellent range of puzzles

From easy to very hard so there’s always one to suit your mood. I played these for years with a pencil and eraser but I wouldn’t go back now, this is the best app I’ve found for these puzzles.

Good but......

I love the concept of this game, it’s a good brain teaser, and really gets you thinking logically.
However, you appear to be limited to a certain number of free games, which is annoying, and if you want more you need to buy them, or wait for the weekly ones to update.
All about the money!

Addictive

It’s amazing and addictive, so relaxing once you get the hang of it... in app purchases for most puzzles though. Otherwise would have rated 5 stars

Too complicated

I play Logic Pic and thought I would try something different. This is far too hard to check a box. You can’t check multiple boxes in one go and it just takes so much time. Have deleted the app and going back to my other game. Shame because I love these games

Feeling cheated

Sad to find B&W fun pack 5 contains repeats of earlier puzzles - mirroring the image does not a new puzzle make. Wish I could get my money back

What puzzles

I fail to see the point in an app that once you’ve finished the puzzles the only way to play is to buy. I’ll just go and find another similar app that I can at least play and resign this to the deleted item folder

Terrific brain teasers

I have bought the difficult games and have so far solved them, but thank goodness for the green marker without which my standard would be lower. I love playing and these games have given me many hours of enjoyment. Keep up the good work

A good game!

This is a good game. The colour version adds a level of trickiness. There are loads of puzzles, too.
