A series of Picross games released over the Nintendo Power download service.
Each of the picture crossword puzzles is a grid with numbers along each row and column, representing a solid line that must be filled in. More than one number means there is at least one space between the lines.
Some puzzles are timed and you lose time by making mistakes, some are timed but your mistakes aren't corrected and some have no time restrictions or hints.
Each game features several categories of puzzle to play through, including a Character Mode representing a different Nintendo series.
