With over 100 puzzles ranging from 5x5 to 25x25 grids, Draw Puzzle offers a wide range of difficulty levels that cater to players of all skill levels.

    Draw Puzzle is a great numberlink puzzle where solving a puzzle means drawing nice pixel art. Well crafted with a balanced difficulty. A logic puzzle where the best way is to fill out the edges and work towards the middle and figuring out a puzzle sometimes means unlinking previously linked numbers. Puzzle solving doesn't become tedious because no number is higher than 12, while also providing a challenge with some tricky number placements. Once I've gotten used to the puzzle logic, it was…

    I'll write a better review later, but for now, I'll just say this: If you watched the game trailer, and are asking yourself "Is this game as good as it looks?", the answer is yes. It's very inviting, it's well-crafted, and has something for all levels of difficulty (as well as a decent, if not perfect, level editor). Most $5 Steam games are not worth the price. This is.

    Puzzle game where you’re supposed to connect 2 points of the same color and number with a line. There are hundreds of levels, level creator and workshop so you can download user-made levels as well - everything for dirt cheap. On the other hand, I played it for about 30 minutes as I didn’t find particularly interesting. No matter how many images the developer throws in, it kinda feels all the same because you’re essentially solving the exact same thing that gradually gets bigger over and over…

    I love this puzzle game. first, the difficult will increase when advancing the progress. Therefore, there are enough challenges in this game. You won't fell bored. Secondly, the content is rich and have different game mode. I can say that there is nearly unlimit picture due to the workshop and the update. Finally, the BGM is soft and make me relax. It is very suitable for this game. The number of BGM is low though. -reasonable difficult -rich content -different game mode -soft BGM -low…

    This is a neat little puzzle game that manages to be simultaneously relaxing and addicting. There are plenty of well-designed levels, Steam Workshop support and a level editor, so you get a lot for the asking price. While some puzzles are a bit on the easier side, there still are challenges like getting all 3 crowns on every level that encourage you to play better. I also like the colors and overall aesthetic; it looks very clean visually. Give it a try if you like chill games. I think you'll…

    Briefly: Draw Puzzle is a solid, true-casual abstract puzzle game with trivial to easy difficulty puzzles. Name describes it well: in Draw Puzzle you have to draw pictures by dragging lines between dots of the same color. The number in each dot shows how long the line is. You can't drag over another line. And leave no spot unfilled! Level design is overall excellent. The game begins with some extremely easy puzzles that show off the game mechanics of dragging. The puzzles gradually get…

I was definitely taken back to my younger playing days seeing all these pixelated pictures. I really like how this game is put together, and how the puzzles are solved.

    The game works well enough but playing with the mouse feels 'sticky', like I'm always fighting to get the lines to go where I want them to and they take slightly too long to draw. The controls are the main reason I'm giving a negative review. The earlier puzzles are a little repetitive also, not sure if that gets better in the later levels. The game's default setting is to unlock only a few numbers at a time, but this can be changed in the settings to make it more challenging. This game…

    This is one of those games that is dependent on the steam workshop to make up for its limited amount of content. While player generated content is an avenue to keep a game alive and interesting, it completely backfires when those players stop making content or they dont make quality enough content for the remaining players to enjoy.

    Achievements: All possible, all fairly reasonable to obtain-- none require 3-starring each level or anything like that. Pros/Cons: + Great time killer + Very addicting + Lots of levels + Workshop content + It's very satisfying to eventually reveal an image + The smaller (non-jigsaw) puzzles can be of an irregular size (non-rectangular) which is a nice touch. + Good controls + Great price for the time I got out of it (~24 hours for just the base game content) - There's no mid-level save…

    The only way I can describe Draw Puzzle is "It's Picross, but not." I can't get this game out of my head. I dream about this game. Everywhere I look, I imagine filling in the blank spaces with blocks. It's becoming an obstruction on my everyday life. And yet, I just gotta get those 272 achievements.

    interesting logic based puzzles that forms pixel art, with an achievement for every puzzle completed. some of the controls feel slow/ sticky at times causing an error but you can undo the lines so not a huge issue. other thing i would note is that when you do the jigsaw levels, there are precompleted squares but you have to play them to get the corresponding achievements, and this didn't become clear until i had completed all the jigsaws but had jigsaw related achievements missing. overall, i…

Anyway, this game is exactly that, and also has jigsaws. However, I find the music a bit repetitive, but you can always just switch to your Spotify music or something and mute the game's sounds/music. Besides all that, the gameplay is really fun and relaxing, and yes you are timed, but it doesn't end the game; you can…

    Draw Puzzle is a thoughtfully designed logic game that takes a very simple idea and expands it into a surprisingly rich and satisfying puzzle experience. At its core, the game asks players to connect pairs of identical tiles by drawing lines across a grid, gradually filling the board and revealing a complete image once every connection is correctly placed. The rules are easy to understand within minutes, yet the way those rules interact with increasingly complex grid layouts gives the game a…

    A leisurely drawing puzzle game where connecting lines gradually reveals pixel art. The only notable flaw is that some later levels abandon proper difficulty progression in favor of featuring sponsor logos, which feels rather unjustified. That said, with its substantial volume of levels, it's still well worth acquiring.

    Tedious, but somewhat stimulating puzzle game with minesweeper vibes. One of the randomly selected connect sounds is a bit grating so turn the volume down a bit. Definitely a great way to burn about 20 hours and stiffen your mouse hand. As far as simplistic chinese-text unity games go I'd venture that this is one of the good ones. Don't expect a penalty for failure.

    I'll give it a positive review because ALL of the achievements are just level passing based. That timer is ridiculously teensy if you were the sort of person determined to 3 star all of the pictures. I reckon I'm about 1/3 of the way through the pictures now. And so far I would say the puzzles have been 95% very easy. And 5% a bit of a challenge. I've definitely had my money's worth out of it. So a positive review it is from me!

    This is an interesting alternative to Picross, though it plays quite differently. You get a grid of dots with numbers on. The numbers denote how many spaces between that dot and another dot of the same number. So for example if you need to link two 8s together, you click on the first 8 and draw a line to the next 8 using exactly 8 spaces. The end result is some pixel art! As with all these games it starts simple and gets more complex over time, but rarely have I got so stuck I can't…

    Draw Puzzle is a link-a-pix game where you connect pairs of same-coloured pixels based on the path length indicated on the pixel. The game seems a bit pointless and simple at first (and the simplicity of the early puzzles doesn't help this), but as the puzzles become more complex the game actually becomes quite interesting (while remaining relaxing to play). There are par timers available for the puzzles, but they are completely optional, as there are no steam achievements related to achieving…
