If you're interested in fine-art-as-picross try Juufuutei Raden's Guide for Pixel Museum. Raden is a VTuber with an art history background so you get a little "explanation from the curator" by her after you finish each puzzle. It's by Jupiter and they are THE picross video game devs.

EDIT: Game fixed itself once the date rolled over, thank goodness. Original message follows.

Great game, but my multi-month run was just soft locked by a bug. When I dinged the bell there was a black screen that hung, so I exited and restarted because sometimes playdate games can be finicky. Now dinging the bell immediately crashes the game, I believe because it can't update the timer (see crash log photo). I really don't want to lose my progress if at all possible, so I hope a bug fix can be pushed out.

Some compliments and critiques:

• The idea of matching babies to kids is an interesting twist on Papers, Please! and can really be taken into interesting directions--the genetics described aren't accurate to real life already (e.g. 50% on skintone and hair), so you could add some fantasy/biopunk stuff if you decided to expand on the concept.
• I love the extra creepy factor about placing children with parents. There's some reeeeeeally fun and messed up story stuff you can go with there if you develop this.
• I dislike the "light the baby you want to select" mechanic. I have a hard time matching skin tones when vastly different light levels are used. It's also harder to scan eye colors between babies and parents to compare them--even if something is obviously blue or green or brown, there's a recognition lag as the brain compares objects with different lighting.
• The order of genetic info you get has issues. Once I got bloodtype, I used it to select babies almost exclusively, because there's no 50/50 stuff like with hair and skin color. 
• "Weight" and "height" feel kinda tacked on. I don't know normal baby weights and heights off hand, so if I want to use them, I have to compare them to all other babies to see if they're significantly different. It doesn't help that average heights and weights vary by country, so I don't know what constitutes tall or heavy for parents by the game's standard.

I don't know what country you live in, but I know that in many parts of the EU that 2€ an hour would be illegally low. I don't know all the laws in every country, so please check your own. 

I understand, also, that you're frustrated at not being able to afford the Playdate. But it's a very niche console so it's very hard to do regional pricing since it probably costs the makers a lot more to produce than say, it costs for Nintendo to produce a Switch. That's because Nintendo can get bulk discounts by paying for very, very large orders, while Panic is probably sending in much, much smaller orders.

As for the child part, I said you were acting like a child, not that you are. However, I should have been kinder and chosen better words, and I'm sorry. 

I don't appreciate you calling me an animatronic or weird, tho. Just because you're angry doesn't give you (or me) the right to call people names.

It says right on the page here the directory you need to find to get your song files, and there should be an emulated version accessible in the Playdate Simulator.

Okay? Why should a luxury good be sold at your price point? There's room in this world for free games, $5 games, $20 consoles, $60 games, $200 consoles, and everything in between. You're acting like a child because you can't afford something.

Got my physical copy and "played" it the whole way in one sitting despite not being an artist at all. If you can afford to get the physical book I'd highly recommend it, the paper is excellent for even heavy handed drawers and it's just so cool to have a completed game book to show others. I knew it was going to get dark but it went into a direction I really did not expect with that darkness. 

It's also unironically very good inspiration for thinking about perspective.
