Hello everyone,

this is my first Flash submission and my first game.

Instructions:
Fill up the grid, using the numbers to help you. These numbers tell you how many squares are to be filled. For example, a "4" means there is a sequence of 4 black squares. Between every sequence can be one or more empty squares. Use both of the vertical and horizontal hints.

- Click to fill a square;
- Shift + click to mark an empty square;
- Ctrl/Command + click to erase a square.

I hope you like it, I'm planing to add other puzzles soon.

-------------------------
Bonjour à tous,

ceci est ma première soumission Flash et mon premier jeu.

Instructions:
Remplissez la grille à l'aide des nombres. Ces nombres vous indiquent combien de cases sont à noircir. Par exemple, un "4" indique une séquence de 4 cases noires. Entre chacune de ces séquences, il peut y avoir une ou plusieurs cases vides. Servez-vous à la fois des indices horizontaux et verticaux.

- Cliquez pour remplir une case;
- Cliquez + majuscule pour marquer une case vide;
- Cliquez + contrôle/commande pour effacer une case.

J'espère cela vous plait car je planifie ajouter d'autres puzzles bientôt.

A bit cumbersome

I liked it, having no experience with this type of puzzle, but there's not a whole lot to it. It would be nice to have some sort of feedback for when you make a mistake. I marked most of my puzzle only to realize I had made a mistake, but there was no way to salvage the game other than to restart. Maybe a hint button that shows the number of mistakes in a given row or column? Not sure if that would be game breaking as you could probably pinpoint which square was wrong (defeating the challenge of the puzzle). I can see myself addicted to this type of puzzle with a little more polish.

FlashContainer responds:

I'm thinking of doing some sort of options, so you could decide playing like the real thing (like now) or getting hints when you make mistakes (and loosing points). I'm taking note on the hint button too!

raindrop splashing on a mushroom?

You already know to add more puzzles, regrettably I don't have the patience or the time to finish the puzzle (first picto game I've ever played) but it is very entertaining for those puzzle heads.

best thing I can suggest is making a main menu, make easy, med, hard unlockables, and throw some more sexy in.

Music would be nice.

Good, but unrewarding

The picross puzzle itself is good, but I thought you'd unlock something after solving it. When I finally completed it and clicked "Check Solution", all I got were an "congratulations" message. Maybe you could improve on that.
It got the essential parts of a picross game, but I think you can still improve that. Keep the good work!

FlashContainer responds:

Thanks, I'm working on adding more puzzles and some sort of reward.

Nobody reads the author's comments

As a hint, nobody reads the author's comments. They want the instructions tied into the game. I've played puzzles like this before, that's the only reason I knew how to play. I would suggest re-submitting this with instructions tied in so everyone knows how to play.

FlashContainer responds:

I was thinking about that, thanks for the hint.

What?

I have no idea what to do. There's no instructions.

FlashContainer responds:

I have provided some instructions to help you.
