Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Ninigrams is precisely what it sets out to be, nothing more, nothing less. It's a clean, no-nonsense translation of traditional Picross puzzles to mobile layouts. You read the number hints along the grid borders, fill out your rows and columns, and build pixel patterns. I appreciate the total absence of aggressive live-service distractions, microtransaction banners, or mandatory internet connections—you download it, pop it into offline mode, and use your brain. It doesn't push the logic puzzle genre forward or break structural ground, but as a reliable mechanical time-killer built on pure deductive reasoning, it's solid. Good puzzle tools don't need gimmicks.
