PixlCross releasing on the Wii U eShop

PixlBit Studios has announced its first title “PixlCross”, which will soon be available on the Wii U eShop and other platforms.

PixlBit describes its new title as follows:

“PixlCross is a nonogram-style puzzle game (i.e. Picross) where you use hints to fill in a grid and reveal a hidden picture. Containing more than 150 puzzles across four levels of difficulty, players will start by solving puzzles on simple 5×5 grids, eventually taking on the challenging final puzzles on massive 35×35 grids! Each puzzle, no matter how large, can be solved without guessing – a common frustration for fans of the pen-and-paper puzzles.”

Players can slide along the grid to fill in or cross out grid boxes. Boxes count as you fill, and pop-out hints eliminate unnecessary scrolling. The game also makes use of an auto-scroll feature to make even the toughest challenges a bit easier.

Because PixlCross saves after every move, it’s possible to exit and return to puzzles at any time. There’s also a hint system that allows the game to be as easy or difficult as players see fit.

Aside from puzzles, PixlCross also features a Puzzle Editor. Players will be able to create their own puzzles and share them with the community through online connectivity.

We also have confirmation that the game will support off-TV play as well as Miiverse integration.

PixlCross doesn’t have a release date just yet. However, it’s already with Nintendo for certification, so it will probably be ready sooner rather than later.
