This is a picross game I keep going back to over and over again. Sure, there's no third fill option for stuff that *might* be filled in, and it's a little annoying how it will fill in numbers before you've added all your x's, HOWEVER, it will not instantly correct my mistakes and that's the biggest thing that annoys me about other picross games. Also, and this is what really keeps me coming back, it doesn't start at small puzzles and then become only really big puzzles, there's always the option to play at whatever size you want which I really love. It's also fun to do over puzzles in different sizes and see how they fit together, I never remember exactly where tiles went for that to be a problem anyways.

A good picross puzzle game with 150 levels of varying difficulties. One thing I wish the game would have is multicolored puzzles as when it shows you the painting you "painted" in the end it is colored, but the puzzle it is just black.

Well worth it. Great puzzle arts, however it lacks some quality of life features like marking cells / counting them, which makes it a bit harder than it has to be.

I love nonograms and Paint it Back is an excellent addition to the category. The controls are great with a controller and on Steam Deck. I greatly appreciate the meaty demo along with it transferring progress to the actual game after buying it. The variance in puzzle size within categories is a breath of fresh air. There are plenty of standard and non-standard sizes available here. The music, while I don't remember it does at the very least fit the game while you play it. I like it despite not being able to describe it more. This game is worth full price and I'm going to finish going through it over time. Paint it Back, despite releasing years ago, sits in my Top 5 of nonogram games on Steam.
