App summary

Paint squares as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! 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.

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.

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, Pic-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Great free beginner level puzzles. Reasonable prices to purchase more. It is easy to use. Totally addictive once you start getting good at it.

The free puzzles are fun. Also bought two puzzle packs, one color one b/w. Color pack had very poor quality images and were way easier than similarly rated free puzzles. Black and white pack 'easy' had a few stupid hard puzzles compared to same difficulty free ones. To further increase the frustration the 'show hint' assist button does nothing at all. Very disappointing and I ended up unsatisfied with both purchased packs.

Game is good, but controls are horrible in the app ui. It is annoying that I am so often tapping on the wrong square, and then if I zoom in to scroll I have to use 2 fingers. This has been getting to me so much that I am just uninstalling the app. Fix your UI to work better with phones.
