Contact Pixel Cross Support

I downloaded this game because I love picross games. I’ve poured hours into Picture Cross and completed it’s thousands of puzzles. However, I was extremely disappointed to realize this is a simply a copy of that game, Picture Cross. After playing a few puzzles of the main board, I realized the puzzles are on the exact same spot and the solutions are copies of the Picture Cross puzzles. The only difference is the finished image which is colored differently, often leading to confusingly colored images that don’t fit what the image represents. I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire board was an exact copy. Even the same tutorial is used (Easy as Pi)! Such low effort used as it’s essentially a copy of a game released years ago. Not to mention the way rows and columns automatically fill with X’s when it detects it’s filled, and erases all of them again when a square is removed. This often leads to frustrating moments when I had manually X’ed a box only for it to be removed later. There should be an option to disable this automatic X’ing. Actually, I’ll just play Picture Cross, which is the original game where Pixel Cross stole all 400 solutions from. Developers, try to be original next time. It can’t be hard to create original pixel art puzzles, but I suppose stealing 400 from another game is a much more effortless way to create a game. What a shame. 1/5.

This was my absolute favorite pixel cross game on the App Store for a long time, but now it’s harder to get the motivation to continue playing with its broken “watch ads for diamonds” feature. It used to be buggy, but manageable if you didn’t mind continuously clicking the button until it finally stopped saying “video not available” and decided to give you the ad, but now it’s completely broken. Clicking it will now only play you the same two ads for the same merge game, both of which won’t give you the reward after viewing it. I’ve tried interacting with it as much as possible, waiting minutes after the time was up to exit, but no matter what the game won’t give you the gems after watching it. I will give it a higher score once this problem is fixed because it’s honestly so fun, but without the extra gems from the ads the game is impossible to continue playing

But; SO many ads. Fun for a puzzle, then literally wait 15-30 minutes to play another (for your gems to restore); or, watch 3 ads. Want the daily “gift” bonus that other games give you? Watch an ad. Just finished a puzzle? Chances are; watch a forced ad.

Gameplay wise, good but desperately needs an undo function (even just a single move; come on guys it’s not that hard). If you mistap (easy to do) then tapping again to clear the Mistap will clear out the rest of the row if it was autofilled. But At that point you don’t know what you filled vs. was autofilled, so you’re kind of screwed.

Cut the ads to 25% of the current rate and it’ll be inline with other games and less of a money-grab; and add undo. Then it’ll be a 4-5 star game. Until then I’ll just throw this into a folder somewhere and wait to see if it gets updated.
