This would tell you that that particular row has three total Blue and White squares each, and that there must be at least one space between each colored block in another shade. You might see the numbers 1, 1, 1 next to the top Row, when looking to use the color White, and also while using Blue. For a well-known example, let’s say our puzzle had us building the American Flag. While hard to explain, the gameplay of ColorCross is easy to pickup with practice.
Unfortunately, you aren’t forced through the tutorial here, so you’ll need to manually read over the rules before you begin if you think you’ll need help. For the unfamiliar or simply untrained, the rules of ColorCross can come off as a bit confusing. Your overall goal is to complete enough puzzles to uncover a larger, National Geographic inspired photograph of an animal (in North America’s case – the Bald Eagle), and you can then move onto the next continent.Įach level of the game presents you with a different grid. Unfortunately for ColorCross however, there just isn’t enough here to recommend anyone new to the genre to try it.ĬolorCross’s animal theme sees you traveling through the various continents, starting with North America. Like Sudoku, nonogram puzzles take place on a grid, but rather than tasking you with placing numbers in each square, you’re instead filling each box with a different color, to create a larger, pixelated image when all is said and done. While Sudoku may be the current king of most newspapers, I’ve always had a soft spot for nonogram logic puzzles like those found in the game of Picross, and now, ColorCross.
ColorCross will find a home with a niche audience, but doesn’t do enough to attract the unfamiliar.
