Short and really sweet game. The art, story and puzzles are nice. The only problem is lag. The performance drops often for some reason (even got “not responding” once) and input is often not registered. Other than that it’s really nice.
i love this so much!! the puzzles were rather easy, but to me that's okay because the story makes up for it! i really wasn't expecting to be so invested in the story, but the characters are just so charming. (pun intended ;)) i love cassia and senna's dynamic, as well as the cute art style and relaxing music! a very enjoyable experience :)
So cool! The art style is so aesthetically pleasing, plus, i always been a big fan of this genre of games, so, playing this was obviously a really amazing experience for me.
A super cute, but short game where you do picross puzzles to help a witch not fail her classes.
Only small gripes is that I wish at the end we would have been able to do the puzzles that Cassia would of done for her finals, and also smoother controls when you hold down and mark (I always fill in the 5x5, 10x10, & 15x15 rows first, and doing so the controls felt slow, meaning while I moved my mouse across it usually skipped some squares that I had to go back over to click.)
I don't know if I missed it, but I wonder if there could maybe be a keybind to swap between mark and paint, especially since sometimes it took a second click to register that I was on mark and it gave me an error ;-;
thanks for mentioning this, there was a bug with marking that should be fixed now--plus i made it so middle click will let you toggle between paint and mark :) hopefully no one will get accidental errors anymore!
Super fun, and great for people who may not be super familiar with picross yet! I have no complaints, but I would have loved a longer game as well. I was sad that it was over so soon!
I haven't done picross in years, and that last 15th puzzle really pushed my brain in order to do it without guessing towards the end!
Short story but interesting themes and lore packed in the game as well.
If I have anything negative to say, it's just that, rarely, when marking a cell, I've felt a delay like the game was doing calculations or stuff in the background before the cross actually appeared on screen.
the thing is that this is actually a prequell to another game, "starray flowers", witch is a sequell to the games "syrup and the ultimate sweet" and "first kiss at a spookie sorrié", we have seen cassia also in the game "lonely wolf treat", in other words: cheak out other nami games, they appear there too
I've just finished the game. It was very, very cute! The idea is simple - meddling the visual novel genre with Picross, puzzles that I am personally a fan of - but so effective!
The discussion between the two protagonists is again cute, and they are quite interesting.
The puzzles themselves are great, except a bonus one that I found a bit confusing, but it is fine as the game doesn't punish you too hard for making mistakes.
Concerning the visuals, I love how you've drawn the characters: those round shapes are perfect with the style of the universe!
In other words, this was a nice little experience, thank you for your hard work!
I'm already a fan of picross/nonogram puzzles already, so the puzzles felt like a nice balance without being too challenging for me. It's pretty standard in that regard, but the story and vibes are what take it to the next level.
Cassia and Senna are ridiculously relatable in their own ways, tbh. And I love the moments that imply just a bit more going on in their world.
The only negative I have is that gamepad support doesn't quite work? You can move your cursor around the board, but you can't mark squares. It's not a huge deal, just odd that everything else works and this action doesn't.
Brain hurt from puzzle. No mistakes though. Love the art style and simplicity of the game. The narrative adds a nice touch to the game, that makes it just that more interesting than other puzzle games like this one1
20 minutes for one play through, though I think there may be different endings? Not sure tho! Short and sweet but I think it would only be enjoyable to people who already like/know how to do nonogram puzzles!
I love this game! I love nonograms so that was the initial hook, but I just grew to love the characters so much! They are so cute together, I can't! >w<
I loooooooooooove nonograms so much. I would replay an older Nancy Drew title just to get nonograms to play, until I learned I could find them online. As someone who has made them and encountered many who have trouble learning what they need to do, this is a really great experience for a newbie. Some of the harder ones remain fun! The art and soundtrack are awesome as well. :) A great first Nomnom Nami experience.
This game was incredibly charming and cute. The music doesn't bore you too much and the art is so beautiful. I'm not good at this kind of puzzles and some of them took me more than half an hour to finish yet I think the challenge is perfect to not be too frustrating. I never felt like quitting because the puzzles were too much for me.
Finally, kudos to Cassia's little story in the epilogue ;)
Hi, Nami! kinda random but I was wondering if Cassia is transgender, during the lunch route of the epilogue she mentions that Senna's dream high-school wouldn't have accepted have accepted her due to their traditional values and that they wouldn't have even recognized her as a girl. If so, I wanted to say that I think it's cool.
I was looking through the translations and noticed the game didn't have a Japanese-language version. Can I chip in and do a Japanese-language translation for the game?

Extremely cute bite-size game, perfect for when you have a little time on your hand
single brain cell vs The Grid: The Game
Such a cute game!! I always love nomnomnami's style and I love the ever evolving games they make! Thank you for another great game <333

too short. want more, but at the same time i am happy with what i got
Really nice picross implementation.
Didn't read a single word of your narrative though, that doesn't interest me in my picross games.
Wish there was a Linux version, but I guess I'll just wait until I get my Windows PC for this.
But there is a version for Linux. It comes with the Windows version
ooh. I didn't notice the Tux! I just read PC. Thanks!
我不知道该说啥
非常好的游戏，画风也很可爱，可是...有点短，还没反应过来就结束了...
Aww, that was very cute story. I loved the epilogue dialogue and the sentiment behind it, cause am right now experiencing kind of a same thing.
So cool! The art style is so aesthetically pleasing, plus, i always been a big fan of this genre of games, so, playing this was obviously a really amazing experience for me.
Wow, those colors, so charming
i really like it
My pc crashed on the last level lol
不错的游戏！！

Thank you for the reply. Love the game a lot btw!
Very cool game!
(I did count the number of spells with my fingers...)
fun game!
a picross game where the mc is implied to be a trans girl

Super fun, and great for people who may not be super familiar with picross yet! I have no complaints, but I would have loved a longer game as well. I was sad that it was over so soon!
Loved this game, really cozy!

Overall great game.
i just played this yesterday definitely recommend and i love the ending!

absolutely adorable! will 100% be looking out for more with these two!!
(... also wait, plumbridge wouldn't accept cassia...? cassia trans question mark heart emoji???)
the thing is that this is actually a prequell to another game, "starray flowers", witch is a sequell to the games "syrup and the ultimate sweet" and "first kiss at a spookie sorrié", we have seen cassia also in the game "lonely wolf treat", in other words: cheak out other nami games, they appear there too

NB: the translation in French is very good.

Love this game, the characters are so cute together! made me realize I am absolutely Terrible at these types of puzzles though.
Aubrey?!?!? ( Also! Don't worry I'm also terrible at puzzle games- )
But puzzle games are just so fun to play sometime, even when it's a struggle, and the art style is so cute ^^
I never check this website but Hello! :D did not expect to find you here!
Hii, it's been a while since I said the comment so I almost forgot about it, though I'm really happy you responded <3

This game was so cute and nice! I only wished there was more of it because I love doing picross puzzles.
very short but VERY cute! made me smile <3 theres some lag on the bigger puzzles but this is a picross game made in renpy so its forgivable
I love this game! I love nonograms so that was the initial hook, but I just grew to love the characters so much! They are so cute together, I can't! >w<
lovely little game, one thing like some other comments mentioned filling the tiles could get janky
I loooooooooooove nonograms so much. I would replay an older Nancy Drew title just to get nonograms to play, until I learned I could find them online.

Hello!
My name is Camila and I'd like to translate this game in Italian!
I'm a Game Localization Specialist and I already translated a couple of indie games. If you're interested, let me know! <3
im pretty sure nami has an open e-mail adress where you can ask to translate games, might be a better shot to do it their
Hi, Nami! kinda random but I was wondering if Cassia is transgender, during the lunch route of the epilogue she mentions that Senna's dream high-school wouldn't have accepted have accepted her due to their traditional values and that they wouldn't have even recognized her as a girl.
