Picross is a puzzle game where you try to reveal a picture. The puzzle lies in the process of revealing the picture. To reveal the picture, you are given hints as to blocks of continuous pixels. Each block of pixels is listed by row and by column. You are to use these numbers to help you reveal the picture. The number hints are like clues in a crossword puzzle - hence the name Picross.
Battle Picross is different than similar types of picross games. There is a lower time limit in this game. However, you are allowed to use items that you collect to help reveal the puzzle. It is a more franctic game that causes you to think just a little faster than with other puzzle games.
It was participated in the PDRoms Coding Competition #1 (Game, 1st place).
Installation
BattlePicross.mb is the multi-Boot version intended to be used for link cables that allow games to be uploaded to the GBA without a flash cart.
Due to the fact that no cart is intended to be used with the multi-boot version, the cleared puzzles and items will not be saved between sessions.
To save your game progress, please run the regular version BattlePicross.gba on an emulator or with a flash cart on the GBA hardware.
