I absolutely just ADORE this game. First itch io game I've bought, and I'm loving it. It looks beautiful on my Gameboy colour, I bought the game especially for it after playing a couple minutes on web. I simply love picross and have always wanted more games that have an adventure aspect with the puzzle element, and this just scratches that itch. The puzzles are surprisingly difficult at times but I welcome that as I find some picross to be too easy, I've almost finished the whole 3DS picross game lineup. I'm unfortunately stuck on the chest in the bucket outside the dev house, even used a nonogram solver but it didn't seem to do it correctly so I'm kind of at a loss...
But anyways, I love this! It's inspired me to think about my own dream picross type game, maybe a city builder. And I read the story in the dev house, I'd love to see the taiyaki building itself.
