Anniversary Update for Pictopix is Available Now

It was announced by Tomlab Games that the anniversary update for their picross game Pictopix is available now on Steam! You’ll find in the new version of Pictopix 45 new puzzles, bigger puzzles up to 40 x 40, new achievements, new secrets and zoom button for big grids.

Check out the anniversary update trailer of Pictopix, showcasing the update’s features:

“According to my tests and calculations the time needed to solve the 45 new puzzles is longer than it was for all 155 initial puzzles! I was astonished to discover that the total playing time is more than doubled with this latest update. I therefore hope that you’ll be happy with it!

Some players have expressed the wish to play a DRM-Free version of Pictopix on gog.com. It’s quite possible to envisage this. Even if the game will lack the Workshop, I could leave the puzzle editor in there. I will study the question before contacting gog.com. In the meantime I suggest you show your interest in Pictopix by voting on this topic created by a player: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/pictopix
