ya, it was hard for me at first too ( it was my first picross game :oops: ). You'll get the hang of it Joe, well if you feel like, haha.
It was my first picross game too!
I played Mario Picross for Gameboy recently and it
doesn't even compare.
I know that this was supposed to be a final release, but I'll make some suggestions anyway.
Hopefully our suggestions will be taken into consideration once a CD verison is made. Your first suggestion was something on my mind too.
I also have a few other suggestions. One is for the puzzle's themes to be organized. For example, there seems to be a lot of puzzles throughout different levels that seem to rely on a theme, like food items. It would be cool if all of the food item puzzles were listed on one line of stages, while another line features a different them. I'm not sure if there is enough puzzles for each kind of theme to make this possible for all of the levels, but it would be cool nonetheless. Another suggestion is to include a little graphic of the puzzle somewhere on the screen after you solved it so you can go back and look at it again. I'd also suggest to have each level use up all 50 stages, but I know that's pushing it
