PixlBit Studios has announced that their Picross-esque puzzle game PixlCross will be making its way to the Wii U eShop next week. Set to release on March 31st, the game will cost $5.99.
PixlCross, like Picross, has players leverage hints to fill in a grid and reveal a hidden picture. Boasting more than 150 puzzles across four levels of difficulty, players start by solving puzzles on simple 5×5 grids, but can eventually conquer the challenging final puzzles on massive 35×35 grids! The game’s handy auto-save feature allows players to start as many puzzles as they want without ever losing progress!
PixlBit Studios says that they have made some notable improvements since the game’s reveal, many of which enhance Miiverse interaction and improve gameplay.
After creating a puzzle using the robust puzzle editing tool, players can now share an ID code on Miiverse and other social media channels that will allow friends, family and fellow players to easily download their creations. Additionally, PixlCross now lets players track the popularity of their shared puzzles. Compete against your best friend, your crazy aunt, or a fellow Miiverse player to have one of the most popular puzzles in the country.
The update also provides sleeker, more streamlined menus. You can check out the launch trailer below.
