Description
Paint squares as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a blank grid with clues on the left of every row and on the top of every column. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting blocks in each row and column so their length and sequence corresponds to the clues.
Pic-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Japanese invention offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.
The game enables zooming the entire puzzle, or just the grid area while keeping the clue-panes locked. Other features include a unique fingertip cursor for playing large puzzles with ease and precision, and a show/hide/lock rulers option helping focus on one row and column at a time.
To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.
For more fun, Pic-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Ratings and Reviews
Exercise for the brain
Used this app for a while now, I used to buy the Hanje books but when you make a mistake it’s a pain to remove. With the app of course it’s just a click and you can check as you go that you haven’t made a mistake. Once you master how it works it’s very relaxing as well as challenging and there’s a weekly freebie you can download. Unfortunately since updating the content I notice the price of the puzzles have increased considerably from as little as £1.99 when I first started using the app to a whopping £5.99 I really don’t think they warrant that price.
A great game with a major issue
I love this game and play it when I have a few spare minutes. The packs are quite expensive, but I enjoy replaying them to see if I can be quicker. Would be useful if there was a ‘Best time’ function so I can see if I was quickerwhen I replayed it. The I could see how long it took me this time and what my quickest time to complete was.
The biggest issue I currently have is that it has randomly deleted my purchased packs. I trued to restore my purchases and nothing happened. So frustrating and seems to be no reason for it. They were there this morning and gone this afternoon. No update in between, no change of device, no reset, nothing. Just vanished.
Developer Response ,
We apologize for the inconvenience and working on a long term fix. In the meantime here are some workarounds which can help you solve the problem:
1. If you are using an iPhone, temporarily change the internet connection from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa). Then pull down the Library screen to refresh the volume list.
2. If you are using an iPad, temporarily change the internet connection from Wi-Fi to mobile data using a hot spot from a mobile phone and making sure the mobile phone is connected to the internet using mobile data. Then pull down the Library screen to refresh the volume list.
3. You can also restart your router.
Hours well spent
Have been doing these puzzles for years and found them particularly helpful during the recent lockdown when due to my age I was obliged to self isolate.
I am guilty of losing track of time, and indeed if I get a red arrow don’t like to stop until I turn it green. I do the large puzzles both coloured and black and white and the pictures are very good. Love these puzzles
