Wii Picross

For fans of picross puzzles (also sometimes called logic art or nonograms), the Wii Picross site is not to be missed.  The site has a great interface for solving the puzzles online and it allows users to create and submit their own puzzles.  As a result there are over 3500 puzzles available to play on the site.

The site is currently running a contest for puzzle submissions with the theme “Where You Are.”  Prizes include a Nintendo DS game or picross books.  Submissions will be accepted until May 18th.  Enjoy!

Blog Roundup 05/05/08

  • Passion for Puzzles has a post about a game called Scorching Earth.  The post compares the game to migration, but I think it’s a pretty loose resemblance.  For starters, Scorching Earth is much more challenging.  It’s also less of a maze and more of a fill-in-all-of-the-squares puzzle.
