## What is Sym?

Find the symmetry, paint the blocks and discover a hidden pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a grid containing dots in various places. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by drawing a block around each dot according to the rules.‎

Sym-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Japanese invention offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game features a unique fingertip cursor which enables playing large puzzle grids with ease and precision: to draw a wall, move cursor to the desired location and tap anywhere on the screen. To draw multiple walls, press and hold fingertip until the wall is drawn and start dragging to neighboring walls.

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, Sym-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

### 5/5 — Awesome puzzles

*2025-09-17*

I really love these kinds of puzzles. The app works well. There are a lot of puzzle packs to choose from, with lots of size options and difficulty levels. It’s easy to decide if you want a relaxing or challenging experience.  I find these to be good at getting me into a flow/relaxed state, but interesting enough to keep my mind from wandering.  I am also really impressed with the pictures used in the puzzles, they are detailed and appealing, even on smaller puzzles.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-01-07, version 3.0*

Very fun

### 5/5 — A fan

*2024-02-23*

I’ve played this for years.  They have great color coding, but waste it on a lot of pictures of people.  A carousel horse, the solar system, a coral reef, or just about anything other than another white person would improve the quality.  So, I love the logic puzzle aspect, but am disappointed in the actual pictures created.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback but we're afraid we don't understand what you mean. In case you would like to help us improve the quality of the pictures, please send us an email to support@conceptispuzzles.com with some more information. We are always looking to cooperate with our users to make our games better.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2023-09-30*

I absolutely love this game. There are no ads to constantly click out of, and while you can buy more levels to play, you still get plenty of levels to start off with that makes it worth it. Easily my favorite game on my phone.

### 4/5 — Fun and challenging

*2023-09-17, version 2.4*

Keeps you busy

### 5/5 — Great puzzle

*2023-08-28*

Those people at Conceptis are the best. They have created another puzzle that requires some thought. I love it. I appreciate the free Friday puzzle each week. I also like that I can check my work. Great puzzle!

### 5/5 — 楽しいです

*2023-08-15*

宣伝は全く無いし週一の無料パズルが待ち遠しい。 難しいのはなかなか出来ないのですが チェックボタンで確かめながら出来るので楽しい。

### 5/5 — めっちゃおもろい！

*2023-08-05*

パズル好きの私、めっちゃハマりました！(*^^*)

### 5/5 — 飽きない

*2023-07-22*

毎日やっても飽きない
広告なしでサクサク楽しめます
無料の新作が増えるのを待ってます♪

### 5/5 — Love this puzzle

*2023-07-15*

This is such a satisfying game. 
You start with nothing and build up to a picture. The difficulty ramps but there are built in ways to help you if you get stuck. 

There is a lot of free content and add on packs are cheap considering how much time they take. One of the few apps I’ll do in app purchases.
