Update?

Are you going to update to IOS 11?

no.

4 1/2 stars

I downloaded a whole bunch of picross games and liked this one the best. The puzzles are challenging and I love the colored picross as well. The only thing I would change is better controls.

Terrible

Very labor intensive to add color. LAME

Difficult Controls

Really difficult to control. The first game worked fine. Half way through the second game and the controller seemed to take on a life of its own. One tap on the arrow and it goes to the end of the row automatically and won't stop scrolling. Logged out to try to reset but same problem. Reverted to manual control and exactly the same happens.
