History VideoGame / Picross

** ''Picross S+'' (2024, Nintendo Switch; ports of all nine ''Picross e'' games, and brings ''e9'' in particular to the West for the first time)

* VideoGameRemake: ''Picross S+'' consists of remakes of ''Picross e'' through ''e9'' using the engine of the ''Picross S'' series. As such, it features 4-player CoOpMultiplayer, the quality-of-life features, and UI like ''S''. However, it lacks a mode where mistakes add penalties to the timer and "no hint" mode is every 15 puzzles instead of every 5.

* ''Picross X: Picbits vs. Uzboross'' (2022, Nintendo Switch)

* StalkedByTheBell: In ''Picross X'', if you have a [[BonusLevel between-round bonus puzzle]] in progress when the timer before the next round starts ends, or a non-bonus puzzle from the previous round even, you ''must'' finish it before you can start the next round, ''while'' that new round's timer is now ticking away and the [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Uzboross]] is back on the chase.

** In ''Picross X'', you try to complete as many puzzles as possible within each round's time limit. If you don't solve enough, some of your Picbits will get eaten by the [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Uzboross]], which will reduce how much damage you do to it at the end of the stage.
