About this game

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.

**Edited from 3 stars to 1 star as even the toggle doesn't make swipe work. It is just broken. Don't bother.** Just letting you know you have to turn the Use Cursor setting on as soon as you install or it won't work correctly, regardless of the top comment by the dev here. Fresh user, saw the exact same behavior.

Thank you for your feedback, but I'm afraid we don't understand what you mean. It seems you might be using the toggle in a wrong way. To solve this issue, please send us an email to support@conceptispuzzles.com and we will explain how to make this work.

the game is good, but the UI is terrible. at the very least i need an erase button. if you re-click a tile it goes to a circle, not blank. you have to click again to make it blank. and they have a separate circle filler. why?

This UI has been working this way for 25 years. It is not ideal, but adding another button for erasing is not ideal either. It means you first need to tap the erasing button, and then you need to tap on the square you want to erase. When we first developed this game 25 years ago we decided to minimize on the buttons so this is how it works.

you can play with absolutely no ad interruptions..the only ads there are are in main screen to buy more levels. there is a limit to free levels, but there are enough to keep you entertained a while.
