Charm Studies

A very cute and calming game! Everything was chill and tbh I cried a bit when Senna talked about splitting up. Topic hits home lol. Keep up the good work! I hope to see many great things from you.

This was my first time playing picross! I was scared to fail at first, but then I realized the tutorial said I couldn't. I'm glad for that lol! Definitely made me interesting in more picross!

Pretty cute game! The artists have clearly done a very good job. I really like how Charms looks. In addition to all this there is a quiet methodical music, which fits well with the game as a whole.

This game was adorable and i loved it. I play a ton of picross games but never found one with a story. Was super excited to play through this. I loved both the girls and their interactions. Plus the picross puzzles were simple but fun! Really well done

Very cute and cozy game! A little laggy on the bigger sizes, but definitely still playable.

Good game but it's very laggy on android when i played it (i also struggling on 15x15. Good thing there's no 30x30) other than that, Great job. (by the way before i delete the game, i only finished 1 ending cause of game lag). 

Absolutely loved everything about this game~

This was a cute game. I like how it included a handful of bonus puzzles outside of the main story. Making Cassia an airhead like this really enabled Senna's character in a way that I found fun. Also, interesting to know that you did all the music yourself. Since it was noted that you don't really listen to Lo-Fi casually, that explains how it came out a bit closer to what I'd expect to hear in some chill lounge rather than an anime girl studying for a test. 

I will say that the story 15x15 is equal parts easier than it was made out to be and really fun to draw, since it has an outline that can be drawn without lifting the "pen", so to speak. This means that once it clicks what the numbers are hinting at, then the player can glide through most of the puzzle. For a final boss, that's pretty clever, and since it's the only 15x15 in the story that doesn't diminish what I view as a low difficulty 15x15. Plus the final post-game puzzle was in line with my personal skill level, so I got to have my cake and eat it without getting a player less used to picross than me stuck on the final level. 

As a final note, I didn't know you could make picross in RenPy. I'm super curious what it was like making a puzzle game in what most people view as a VN engine.

i love picross, so i couldn't not check this out! very cute, i had fun

I loved this! The puzzles were fun and the story and characters were very cute. The art throughout is also very well done :)

Wow this is actually amazing. I came for picross and I stayed for actually fun characters. Just wow.

I like ukrainian localization

This was a really adorable and fun game! The puzzles got really challenging, especially the ones towards the epilogue. I've never been a fan of picross, but I may have found a new hobby.

Also - this game was such a *vibe*. The art was really cohesive. The characters and UI blended seamlessly, and your color palette was very pleasing on the eyes. 

The writing was also really lovely. I really enjoyed how it focused on Cassia and Senna's story, while casually painting the world they live in and giving a believable sense of purpose to each puzzle. Honestly, I could learn a thing or two from how restrained and focused the story was in general.

Lastly, the epilogues were so wholesome, and Epilogue 3 was totally worth doing the bonus lore over. It really pulled my heartstrings, haha. Cassia and Senna make really good friends, and I hope they don't part forever. I'm not sure if I caught on to Cassia's hint correctly, but if I did, then I'm totally glad to see her accepted and happy. They're both adorable! I've love to see a sequel someday!
