Mario's Picross - Love and Hate :

It's been quite some years, that I haven't played Mario's Picross, and I never actually finished the game. So thanks to Vizzed I decided to pick it up again and finish it once and for all !

Mario's Picross is a game which can give you lots of joy and lots of pain. The structure is very simple : You get a new Picross at every stage and the main goal is to hit free the empty spaces to complete the Picture. You have 30 min. to complete the picture and every time you hit a wrong field, you'll lose 2 - 8 minutes.

The graphics are simple but good, and the music is very nice, fits the game totally and lifts your mood ( sometimes you'll need it ! )

So why do I always refer to the bad mood ?

Simple as it is : As soon as you almost finished a Picross and hit 2 or 3 spaces in which you lose 8 min. you'll freak out, because you'll have to start all over again with the current level. In the first " Easy Picross " you won't bother that much, because the Levels are small and easy, but in later Levels, you'll have huge Picture to hit free and starting all over again can cause you a nervous breakdown once in a while.

As an overall I would give it an 8 or 9 of 10 ! This game is lots of fun and quite addictive ! Try it, you won't regret it, I promise ! 

With this said I'll continue playing right away and post a picture as soon as i enter the last Picross

I actually own Mario's Pictross. Its a fun puzzle game to play and it kills time when you have nothing else to do. The puzzles are interesting to find out what they turn out to be.
