Even though the dialogue is sometimes cheesy, I couldn’t help but get drawn in.
I enjoyed the game’s deeper themes of friendship and acceptance of love from others and for yourself. Later it became apparent why things felt a bit repetitive, but it did dampen the pace a little at the time.
Pixel Girl, whilst specifically tasked for saving the world, dates each candidate on the fly while uncovering a conspiracy, plots, and the truth behind the end of the world. As the newest member of the team, everyone is just dying to get to know you no matter how coy they try to play. Then I realised I wasn’t paying enough attention to the characters themselves. In the beginning, I felt the game repeated itself in places where it didn’t need to, or the dialogue went on a bit too long between puzzles. The puzzles were so enjoyable I had to stop myself from skipping the dialogue to get to more of them which is detrimental to the player when the clue is given in the preceding discussion. Each wrong mark decreases the time limit you have to complete the image, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed game, you can customise the difficulty – removing the time limit altogether, or opting to start a level with a whole row and line filled out for you, for no penalty.įilling out the grid produces images which relate to the story, which keeps the players involved in the game in a deeper way. The difficulty level is situational, from easy 5×5 grids to a 15×15 grid for some depictions of cool hacking and general saving the world type stuff.
#PIXEL PUZZLE MAKEOUT LEAGUE REVIEW HOW TO#
If you understand how to play pixel puzzles, you’ll find Pixel Puzzle Make Out League a joy to play, and not just for the diversity. Endearingly silly, and tongue in cheek gags bring life and humour to each of them and dates end up being on the fly when the villain appears and heralds the end of the world. As the new team member, Pixel Girl has the task of getting to know each of these quirky characters with their own attributes that make their interactions feel genuine. Each of the other team members has their own puzzle-related powers too. Pixel Girl is a newly fledged superhero with the power to solve puzzles. Not only are there tonnes of pixel puzzles to solve, but there is also a rather good story to enjoy while you do. When finished correctly the image is revealed. Pixel puzzles are presented in grids to solve, with numbers around the top and left outer edge which shows you how many of the squares should be filled in. I haven’t played many dating simulators, if any at all, because I’ve personally never really seen the appeal (unless there was a Phoenix Wright dating sim.) But the draw of lots of puzzles pulled me in for a good old sloppy one. The afterglow of a tough puzzle finally completed, and the burn of the first kiss with someone new. You can date a giant puzzle piece the email subject line did not lie.Some might argue that there is nothing better in the world than pixel (Picross) puzzles and making out. Piecea, however, is just a giant puzzle piece. Chess, Sudoku, and Crossword are all humans with their own quirks. After being rescued, you can then walk home with any of the heroes. Eventually, the story started to kick into a higher gear as Pixel Girl was rescued by the rest of her superhero friends-Chess, Sudoku, Crossword, and Piecea. This early area took place on a world map, with each space being a puzzle. It made for a fine tutorial as you played as Pixel Girl, a superhero with the power to solve pixel puzzles really fast. The demo at PAX East 2020 showed off an early area, skewing a little bit on the easier side of nonogram puzzles.
As a huge fan of Mario’s Picross, Picross-e, Picross S, and all those variations, I was ecstatic to check this game out. Turns out Skymap Games (who recently launched Thief Town on Switch) is working with developer Rude Ghost to make a bizarre fusion of Picross and dating sims, which in my estimation is the next step in nonogram puzzles taking over the industry. I opened the email forthwith to find out more. The subject line “Date a giant puzzle piece at PAX East” was one of those times. Every now and then, an email sent to my Nintendo World Report account makes me spit take.
