Color Cross - I recently finished every single puzzle in this pretty good multicolor Picross-style game. I like Picross, and this game is great too! It has a lot of puzzles so it took some time to finish, but it was a lot of fun. The game doesn't have a puzzle editor like Nintendo's DS Picross games do, unfortunately, but there is a lot to solve. As for the gameplay, making it a bit easier than Nintendo's games, you can't actually fail puzzles; it just keeps track of time, and if you place a color in the wrong square the game adds time and auto-marks that square wrong. Many Picross games let you disable this kind of auto-error-detection (or don't have it at all, such as Picture Puzzle for the NGPC), to make the game harder, but this one doesn't. I don't mind though, it's alright this way... I would be tempted to play without it, which would make this game much more frustrating! :p
As for the game, it's pretty much Picross, but there are a bunch of colors in the picture instead of only two. This is an interesting twist on the genre that works well, mostly... except for that some colors are too similar and can be very hard to tell apart. Are those blocks black, dark grey, dark blue, or dark green? I'm not sure, so... well, at least the game doesn't let you make errors, so the worst that can happen is you finish the puzzle with a bad time? And as I don't really care about time in this game, that's okay sometimes. But yeah, good game apart from this. This is a quite unknown title but I like it.
