Synopsis

Picture Puzzle (Oekaki Puzzle in Japan) is a paint-by-numbers puzzle game developed by Success for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. The game is similar to Nintendo's Picross series. Picture Puzzle offers a total of 200 puzzles: 20 5x5 puzzles, 105 10x10 puzzles and 75 15x15 puzzles. This distribution favors small puzzles because larger grids would be too small on the NGPC screen. Additionally, larger puzzles take much longer to solve; small puzzles allow you to play on the Pocket for 10 to 20 minutes at a time and, on a good day, solve an entire puzzle.

Once a puzzle is completed, the game replaces it with a colored version of the same grid and gives it a title. Especially for smaller puzzles, this is useful because it is sometimes difficult to discern what exactly the completed picture represents. As it colors them, the game requires the Neo Geo Pocket Color, meaning it will not work on a monochrome Neo Geo Pocket.
