ah man I really like this mario picross game but...
mario's levels help you too much. hf.
also the one help it COULD do with is letting you know when you've filled in a bunch of numbers
like uh...
how Picross S does it and how World's Biggest Picross on my phone does. It lets you know when you've say got a set of clues on a line and you're sure that the 4 that's in there can only go in one place so you plonk it in and the 4 gets crossed off on the clue so you know you've done the only 4.
@Felthry (but also on the SNES and such)
@Felthry anyway yeah, https://www.appynation.com/apps/worlds-biggest-picture-cross/
The only downside I found is that this one only has two sets of colour puzzles and I love the colour ones. ;;
It keeps getting updates tho!
Finally, Picross Luna is apparently really good too for phones! So far I've found it's pretty great, though it has some slight control issues occasionally on my phone.
@Nine The big thing we care about is we want it to be no ads and no microtransactions, do those fit those criteria? we are on android
@Felthry Hmm, okay, the Konami one has no ads except for ones that pop up advertising Konami games when you enter the game and also sometimes between levels but they aren't video ads, and you can just click the close box, and there are no microtransactions.
WBPC DOES have microtransactions, though as far as I know doesn't have popup ads? I think? You get tokens that allow you to unlock levels, and you can earn tokens in various ways, including replaying completed levels (which use coins)
@Felthry I think Picross Luna has no microtransactions, but again, does have ads, moreso than the Konami one, but I forget.
@Felthry the same gameboy one you have, technically, as the SNES one is the same game but... in colour or something?
