## What is Cross?

Paint squares and fill regions as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a blank grid, divided into various regions, with clues to the left of every row and at the top of every column. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting squares and filling blocks according to the rules.

Cross-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, these puzzles offer 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 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, Cross-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-05-09*

Muito bom

### 4/5 — What’s with the ruler?

*2025-05-19*

I totally enjoy this game, however, it is completely frustrating to have to keep counting how many blocks in a row are filled in, to figure out how many more are needed. I would think that the ruler would tell me how many blocks are filled in or how many blocks are still needed, but for some reason, the ruler is telling me how many empty blocks there are. That helps me in no way whatsoever. Having to constantly count 30 blocks to figure out how many more are still needed is ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. To help you with this issue (and make improvements if necessary), please send us an email to support@conceptispuzzles.com telling us if this problem is with the SingleClue puzzles or with the DualClue puzzles. Thank you for your help

### 4/5 — 面白いです

*2025-04-05*

一つ見つけると次を確定出来たりして楽しめます。 難しいものもあり。 優しいヒントが欲しいかな

**Developer response:** このパズルにはまだアシスタント機能がなく、申し訳ございません。次のステップのヒントが欲しい時など、宜しければ画像を問い合わせメールにいただけましたら、できる範囲で回答させていただきます。

### 3/5 — Fun, just lacks enough free content

*2024-06-13*

I really did enjoy doing these puzzles, they’re decently challenging and pretty satisfying to figure out. The problem is that by the time you get the hang of it the free packs end. After the free packs you get access to a single puzzle every week and that just doesn’t seem worth the space on my phone. I do appreciate the lack of ads on the game but, for me personally, I completely understand if you have to implement an ad system to properly monetize the app and still provide for free players,

Tl:dr Good puzzles but there’s not enough free content

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Our policy is to provide a quality puzzling environment in a relaxed atmosphere and without any ads. As such, the only way we can support this app and continue to provide new puzzles is by charging for the content. We thank you for your understanding.

### 3/5 — 楽しい

*2023-10-23*

けどちょっと難しすぎ…

**Developer response:** よろしければ、詰まった箇所がありましたら、問い合わせメールに詳細をいただけましたら、できる範囲で回答させていただきます。

### 5/5 — Challenging!

*2023-10-14, version 2.7*

These are really tricky. They are fun to try, and very playable on my iPhone.

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2023-10-04*

This is one of the few puzzle games that makes me stop and think. Could do with more guidance on hard levels

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Did you take a look at the help section for more guidance on hard puzzles? In case you get stuck on a puzzle you are welcome to send a screenshot to support@conceptispuzzles.com and we will gladly guide you on the next steps.

### 3/5 — Get rid single clue

*2023-10-03, version 2.7*

Love the dual clue. Single clue just doesn’t work for me. No fun.

### 5/5 — Addicting
