Mouse support and bolder borders every 5 cells. These are quite conventions when making gridlers games. Also for younger generations, or such of us who aren't familiar with some of the characters here, put some description or a link to the game source. other than that, not bad

Done and done. Just added those to the game! I only played these games on my Switch. Check out the tutorial for some great controller tips!
I agree with the requests for mouse-based controls. Otherwise, really fun and a TON of content!

Just added mouse controls!
Fun picross, except that my save data keeps getting reset and now I am sad
Pomegranite responds:
I added a finish level button to the pause to help those whose data gets erased.
Good game
Very cute game! I'm not too familiar with Picross, but I easily found myself getting addicted to this game and going through puzzle after puzzle. I did find it a little silly how some of the puzzles would resolve (really, those two dots and a line is Pico? it could be anyone!) but it was all in good fun. And what a huge amount of content to go through! It's almost intimidating how much there is, haha!
My only major complaint would be that the controls can be a bit confusing. For example, I want to use the mouse because it's more intuitive to not only click squares, but click the big buttons on the right to change forms. However, using the mouse can be bad because it doesn't let you do tricks like being able to hold the button to paint in succession like keyboard allows: you need to click each time, and that doesn't help my carpal tunnel. So, I use the keyboard, but then I have no idea how to change forms because the shortcuts are difficult to remember: call me dumb if you like, but it'd be nice if maybe the keyboard shortcut letters could be right next to the form buttons as a reminder.
Other minor complaint would be that I feel like it could use a tad bit more juice: you know, make the title screen a bit more animated and so on, and that there were some typos here and there, but overall it feels good. Well done with this one!
EDIT: yayyy i finished my puzzle at Hard #44, thank you very much for that
Pomegranite responds:
you can pause anytime to be reminded of the controls
check out level 44 on hard--you might be like it ;)
edit: the original version was animated, but caused performance issues for weak hardware
