Our take on Picrastination
Players who struggle with numerical clue puzzles will reach the main obstacle immediately: every picture depends on solving that logic system. Those expecting only a brief set of challenges may also bounce off the larger collection, which includes over 175 puzzles alongside mosaic and generated modes.
What is Picrastination?
Picrastination is a logic-based puzzle game about solving numerical clues to reveal pictures.
Its main collection contains over 175 puzzles in different sizes and difficulty levels. The game also includes several larger mosaic puzzles and two procedurally generated modes. Individual puzzles feature cultural references, jokes, or puns. A short tutorial introduces the basics. Completing specific puzzles and meeting other goals unlocks colour schemes and audio themes for customisation, while hidden extras can also be discovered. Touchscreen control is available outside the tutorial. Additional functions include temporary marking with the middle mouse button, an undo function, and customisation options.
