Pixel Puzzle Makeout League ended up being one of my favorite narrative experiences this year.

There are touch controls also, but I still found myself preferring the Nintendo switch Joy-Con in Handheld Mode or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller When playing in Docked Mode. I think I actually enjoyed playing in Handheld Mode, thanks to all of the text being large and the puzzles take up a good amount of the screen’s space.

I had a chance to play this one both in Handheld Mode as well as on my TV in Docked Mode. Between what was presented to me in the story mode for Pixel Puzzle Makeout League – with over 250 puzzles – I ended up playing this one for more than 20 hours on my Nintendo Switch.
There also is a tower you can explore, taking on some extra Picross puzzles without any store, which is a nice bonus. You can customize your experience to feel just right, depending on what you want to do. You can also modify your settings to have the Picross puzzles play the way you want them, with hints – which I turned off – auto-filling Xs in the blank spots when a line has been solved, and more. If you make a mistake when solving the puzzle, you will be penalized with a minute from your timer. I never ran out of time, but I definitely cut it close on a handful of the 15×15 puzzles I played. You will have puzzles of different sizes, 5×5, 10×10 puzzles with a 5 minutes time limit, and 15×15 puzzle with a 15 minutes time limit. The Picross puzzle-solving is also great. For the last five hours, I started to play at 10 p.m., and I didn’t go to bed until 3 a.m. I don’t want to spoil things, but the game has an excellent final run.
#PIXEL PUZZLE PIECE SERIES#
As the narrative progressed, you could tell there were cues from the Zero Escape series and Undertale, and it turned into one of my favorite narrative experiences this year. This led to a paradox for me since, how does the game knows which path I’m truly choosing if I’m playing all of them? I don’t want to spoil anything, but Pixel Puzzle Makeout League knows what it is I’m doing and how it’s telling its story. Unlike what happens with other visual novels, you can go back and work on the other paths almost right away. Once you have escaped, you learn that a giant tower has been erected in the city, which sets you on the path of a new journey that will take you down four potential paths, with the potential of romancing the different teammates you’ll interact with. You quickly learn that your Picross powers will help you escape. When you start the game, you are kidnapped by the villain, who will be your primary antagonist through this adventure. Chess is the leader with a darkish secret Sudoku is a gaming nerd, and you end up being dragged into her world Crossword is a stoic detective and Piecea is a crazy alien puzzle piece which is off the wall. The group is interesting since each character has a unique personality, set of interests, and backstory. You play as Picross Girl and are a member of the Puzzle League, along with other Crossword, Chess, Sudoku, and Piecea, an alien puzzle piece from Puzzle Planet. Pixel Puzzle Makeout League is a weird mixup of genres, which makes it a Picross superhero visual novel dating sim.
