    CiniCross is a good picross game, because there’s a timer display that is very good at telling me that I’m fast at picross in exciting ways

    I have achieved an infinite run in CiniCross, the game basically plays itself for me, I have no timer drain, and I have racked up 596 minutes on my timer I love limit testing :3c

    If you're like me and you love picross / nonograms and roguelikes, then CiniCross is gonna be your jam: store.steampowered.com/app/3933120/... I played the demo of this a few months ago and loved it, and the finished game fixes the few minor issues I had with the demo. It's great, check it out.

    Trying out the Cinicross demo. It's a picross roguelite and that sounds right up my alley, but it's driving me nuts. Why can't I mark spots that would have an X without randomly getting hit and the game filling in boxes like I made an error? I didn't make an error there's an X there!

    @altego.itch.io Are there any plans to update the CiniCross demo to be more in-line with the full game? A few friends of mine were turned away from the difficulty of the demo alone.

    CiniCross: it's roguelike nonograms! There are a few UI/UX improvements I'd like to see, but the core concept is solid and I like the retro fantasy pixel art style. This is extremely my jam. store.steampowered.com/app/3933120/...

    Playing a nonogram/picross roguelite named CiniCross, and it is relatively trivial to get builds that allow you to literally AFK from the game and let it play itself, no matter what the timer is at! @v@" It is crazy!

    I would have scoffed at you if you had told me not so long ago that I'd go absolutely wild for a picross game that actively tried to murder me, but then CiniCross dropped a while back and I've since been craving the danger 💀

    #9: CiniCross Waited until I’d beaten all the bosses and unlocked *almost* all the items. The game gets unconscionable above difficulty 6 or so, bosses beyond the 8th floor or so are absolutely grueling affairs. More Lore Plz, drips great aesthetic. Timer is evil. Timer is good. It’s a Timer/10!

    I'm playing CiniCross, a new rougelike picross/nonogram game on Steam. I like it, but once you hit a certain point, there is zero challenge. Right now, I can do one of two things: I can just let the game run, and my power-ups auto-complete puzzles after a while, or brute force with no consequences.

  • Thud @thuddert.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 14, 2026

    I am sad about Cinicross not being in a good state on steam deck atm. Controls are sluggish (think mario picross), dpad is not mapped to movement, screens in between are intrusive and the tutorial character is very annoying with that noise. I requested a refund and I hope the game gets fixed later.

    CiniCross - store.steampowered.com/app/3933120/... Picross/Nonograms, but it's a rougelike. It's alright, but uhhhh my experience with Picross is on the lower end and you have a pretty quick time crunch that makes this a little too stressful. I wish I was better at it to make it shine.

    6. CiniCross Gritty roguelike picross is the genre I never knew I needed. Taking a chill puzzle game and flipping into a timed gauntlet is quite special. Bosses, items, classes, dozens of unlocks are great. Graphics are very minimal and controller support surprisingly messy. Unique must play 8/10❌

    Cinicross: Nonograms are one of my favorite puzzle games to play so when I found out that someone was making a Roguelike Picross, I was immediately sold on the concept and man, it's addicting on the same level as Balatro

    Played CiniCross demo. They're rogueliking picross now. It's fine and works for what it is but it made me realize that I like picross when you finish a puzzle and you see what kind of picture its supposed to be but this game doesn't do that so that's a pass from me.
