Crunchyroll: PictoQuest

In game controls are buggy for marking spots. Random squares will act like I input something even though I’m using the arrows on the other side of the screen. It seems like the norm for all the Crunchyroll included games. I have yet to find a game that can do its intended basic functions from them. The only reason I’m not giving it one star is because of the nice design. Just wish it worked as nice as it looked.

I’m not making another account so that I can play a game I might not even enjoy. I’ve probably got hundreds of accounts strewn across the web and don’t want to make ANOTHER ONE, just to play a game. Game developers/publishers around the world, STOP DOING THIS.

So, I don’t know what to expect from CrunchyRoll games, but I was kind of hoping it would be a little better than this. Okay, let’s start with controls. Although at times it’s fine, the controls were the real struggle throughout 99% of the game. The inputs for phone screens are way too small. When you attempt to move up, it can accidentally move you to the side or down due to an accidental input press you did not intend. The levels were fine. The music was good. Decided to not read the story by personal choice. So, I can’t give a rating on that. However the controls don’t warrant a 2/5 star rating. What caused this was the fact the game had unintended flashing transition screens when opening the shop. I thought the recent update that came out a few days prior might had fixed it… well, it didn’t fix it but I think they tried(?). Also, the victory screen at the end is also bugged. Anyway, all of this being said, if you want people to feel satisfied paying a higher price just to play these games, I’d at least expect the game itself to be without bugs. Without bugs, definitely a 4/5 star game. Worth a play though when fixed.

Love Picross, I beat the game fully. If I have one gripe is that I wish the game were longer.

Finally high quality picross! I love it, I'd just also love the option for portrait mode.

This game has a seizure trigger when you enter the shop. How many times a second do you need to make the screen flash before you’re actively trying to hurt people? I looked for an option to turn off screen flashing in the menu and there isn’t one.

So I love nano grams and pictogram games quite a bit. And having a little quest game you could travel and fight monsters on was a good idea, however the big issue is the controls. Unlike every other game in this style, you have to move the cursor with arrow keys instead of just tapping the blocks you want to either color in or use the x on. If you hold down the color in button and try to use the arrow keys to complete a row, good chance you’ll misclick, take a hit when you didn’t mean too. It’s super clunky for controls and can be frustrating. It’s an app on a touch screen phone, just give the option to touch the blocks you want and make it easier. Having both the cursor and arrow keys, and the ability to touch your desired blocks would go a long way to make it enjoyable
