Anything can be a game if you want but your game should pause the timer during loading screens or people running NVMe will have an unfair advantage over those with HDDs.
I was really sad the day I completed the last Picross S game on Switch. I had run out. I was playing in bed to unwind my brain at the end of the day. Found a clown on Steam that’s decent, but my Steam Deck is too big to play lying down in bed comfortably. 😥
I still have my 3DS XL in a closet which should have it installed. I'd love to play it on a different system though, I should look into some emulation options!
I’m still picking my way through the DS game, it feels like super chill Minesweeper 😁 Knowing there’s SO MANY MORE Picross games pleases me for when I eventually finish this one. Love that there’s translation patches for all the Japan-only entries now as well. Will end up throwing some of them on the trust Retroid Pocket 3!
Picross is my life whenever a new one comes out on the switch.
Hope they bring back the 3D picross at some point, those were a neat change, and I think the current gen of games have kinda stagnated :(
