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.

I have loved this game for years, but I got a new Samsung 24+phone and now you can't drag the cursor from side to side and tap when the lines cross where you want to color. You physically now have to tap on the tiny boxes with your physical finger to color in the block that you're trying to color, but YOUR FINGER IS OVER SEVERAL BOXES! PLEASE FIX OR I WILL UNINSTALL ALTOGETHER. I SEE SOMEONE ELSE MADE A SIMILAR COMMENT THAT YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I DO BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I'M EXPERIENCI

We didn't make any changes in the way the game is played so it seems that something changed in your settings. If you want to play in the mode you describe, open the app's Settings and turn "Use Cursor" to ON. In case you still have a problem please send us an email to [email protected] and we will help you fix this.

I used to love the Conceptis website. When they started charging money for the puzzles, I enjoyed that they still offered one puzzle of each type for free each week, and I was glad to purchase credits to buy more puzzles. After buying the credits, I could choose which specific puzzles I wanted to buy. This app, however, gives you a few "ultra easy" puzzles, and then you have to purchase packs of puzzles, sight unseen. I am so disappointed.

Well designed and no ads, but EXPENSIVE. 42 free puzzles are included, as well as a weekly free puzzle, but you could spend a significant amount of money purchasing any of the 300 or so available puzzle packs, each with only 20 puzzles, some costing over 5 bucks. Purchasing all the packs will cost you well over $1000. IMO, there are better options, even with ads. Devoloper: Please put at least 50 puzzles in the puzzle packs. Make them worthwhile to buy.
