Pictominoes®

February 15, 2021

Added 25 new puzzles from our awesome intern, Louis, and made some other small bug fixes.

August 26, 2020

Today is another very special day in Pictominoes® history... Today is the day Nicholaos Mouzourakis automated the entire puzzle creation pipeline, and put it in a single button which brings forth infinite puzzles. That's right. I said infinite. Forever. No limits. No more waiting for the next puzzle pack. (Though we will still be making those, not to worry!) Go to the new Endless puzzles button in the top bar of the main menu, and as long as you are connected to the internet, Pictominoes® will download an image from the very generous folks over at unsplash.com who provide a majority of our content, and just form a puzzle from it, like magic. No more will you have to stare at the hundreds of completed puzzles as Nicholaos toils away on the next pack. Today, you play.

This update fixes a crash that occurs when entering the Main Menu with the Parallax Menu option enabled. (Sorry about that!) With a couple more small tweaks: • The Parallax Menu option and feature has been removed entirely, and... • ...replaced with a Documentary Buttons option, to turn the Documentary-style animation for the puzzle pack buttons on or off. • As a result of removing the Parallax Menu, the memory optimization from the last update has approximately doubled efficiency.

Alright, first of all, welcome to those of you joining us from the free weekend! We are very glad to have you join the Pictominoes® family, and we are also very thankful for the generous ratings/reviews you left! (They keep Nicholaos motivated to make those hand-crafted puzzles!) Anyhow, we are back on schedule, with a couple of new updates: • A brand new pack of animal puzzles with Mother Nature. • A new look for the Main Menu, with documentary-inspired animated puzzle pack icons. • Optimizing the memory usage of icons on the Main Menu, future-proofing the adding new levels, and improving memory performance.

Sorry we've been away for a while! We have been hard at work making Pictominoes® Free! Not to worry though, only the first 100 levels are free in that version, and you now have over 525 at your hands, so your investment in Pictominoes® is safe! That being said, in this update we have: • Added a News Feed. • A brand new pack of architectural puzzles with Urban Geometry. • A new "Parallax Menu" option to show off more puzzles behind the packs in the Main Menu.

By popular demand, we are removing all In-App Purchases from Pictominoes, and replacing them with a classic Pentominoes mini-game to earn hints! Thank you for all the feedback!

Very happy to announce that a great Pictominoes fan, Sharon Madison, has graciously donated a whopping 50 of her birdwatching-style photographs to the Pictominoes library. This brings the total puzzle count to over 500! Thanks a million Sharon!

Added "Wild West Wonders" puzzle pack.

April 22, 2020

Going forward, we are now going to try to release level packs more frequently, but with fewer at a time. • Added "Gradients of Nature" puzzle pack. • Added ability to generate a custom puzzle directly from the camera. • One fewer Daily puzzle completion is required to get bonus hints. • Bonus hints will now be awarded upon completing all puzzles in a pack. • All hint IAP quantities are now doubled as a bonus!

This month's update comes with a super special feature that we think everyone who wants more Pictominoes will love: • CUSTOM PUZZLES! Press the Gallery button in the Main Menu, select any photo, and Pictominoes will randomly-generate a custom puzzle just for that photo! Do it as many times as you like! Have a photo you wanted to Pictominize? Go for it! Go for ten, twenty, the fun never ends! Of course, we are also hard at work hand-crafting puzzles for you as well: • Added Spring Puzzle Pack. • Added German Puzzle Pack.
