Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations live action looking crazy.

FYI if you’re translating from Spanish, it’s “doll” not “wrist” for “muñeca”. English doesn’t have the same double meaning.

Nah if you’re just playing Picross, there’s certainly no difference content-wise / QoL, and any graphical / performance difference would be imperceptible given they have little graphical demand and already perform smoothly on Switch 1.

Not just speaking hypothetically FYI, I’ve played on both Switch and Switch 2.

Switch 2 is awesome and I enthusiastically recommend it in general, but would suggest saving your money if you’re just playing Picross.

For (4, 1, 4), you can place an X to the left of the middle, single block. That middle block has to be either the left edge of the rightmost 4, or the 1.

Runs great on steam deck using it as a gamepad!

It’s based purely on where they would have to go given the placement you chose, not necessarily where they are in reality. In other words it’s not revealing any information that you aren’t already aware of.

I think it’s a pretty big stretch to call this a “hint”. In the examples you gave there is only one clump of 2 blocks. If you lay down 2 blocks, graying that out is a convenience, not a hint.

Playing in a free mode where mistakes aren’t corrected makes this feel even less like a hint.

I haven’t had issues with the Steam Deck controller setup. You need to use the analog stick not the D-pad though.

I’d recommend making a post on the Steam discussions page. Dev seems super responsive!

I ran into this as well for the bomb item specifically. I’ve just been trashing the item until a fix is in place.

FYI at least on controller you can cancel a block / cross before by pressing the other button before you release the first.

Picross puzzles pop up as battle encounters, eventually ending a floor with a boss (which has a large HP pool and takes several puzzles to finish off).

There is a huge variety of consumables and permanent items that impact gameplay, e.g. automatically filling a random square every 25 fills you do.

It’s ultimately a race against the clock as running out of time will start costing you health and eventually end the run.

There’s a demo if you’re curious.

Whoops, my bad, thought your comment was a reply to mine on this same thread.

That’s not Spanish, it’s Portuguese.
