Picross DS

Fill in squares using simple hints to reveal the hidden picture. Players
need both puzzle-solving skills and creativity to earn a picture reward.

Each puzzle has a sequence of numbers written in the margins of each
column and each row. Those numbers show how many squares within that
column or row need to be filled in. Players must deduce where each
filled square is based on the numbers in the puzzle. Incorrect guesses
earn the player a time penalty. If players solve the puzzle in under one
hour, they earn a reward picture, an animated illustration of the thing
represented in the puzzle. Puzzles range in size from simple 5x5 squares
to much more challenging 15x15 squares—and larger. Players can create
and swap puzzles with one another.
