FREE MODE DRAINING BRAIN JUICE!!!

3rd week, still at Lv 6...

just started playing yesterday. this game is giving me the sudoku feel.

ah ah ah... just started yesterday. Quite a addictive but I"m not all that good at it yet. cleared Easy and Normal Level 1. heh.

is there any tips for playing this game? too much guess... (which i think it shouldnt be)

LOL~ if this game comes with 2 much tips, it wouldn't be fun any more...

I'm progressing with Freemode Lv 6... but still stuck.

what about u, sihum?

hmm... well... I was lazy at first but when you really think of your moves and make use of the X mark, you can solve the puzzle with less mistakes.

@ penman: I'm at Normal Extra E I think. My gf plays more than I do

But I can provide some tips for HMMaster.. I think I'll slowly do that for Picross players..

Here are some of the most basic that you can learn, and use with almost every game.

If the numbers given are "more than half" of total row, then you've got some pieces in the center of the puzzle

Don't understand? Here's how it works.

that one i figured already

the problem is those with small numbers (ie: 1)

Hehe.. just going with the basics. Unfortunately, those Free Mode puzzles requires the use of "Overlay on" test mode to try and figure it out for yourself

I'll go with more "advance" techniques, to help ease of solving the puzzles.

This technique, requires the use of hints, now everyone needs hints, if not free mode puzzles could never be won

This technique, helps narrow down spaces of which don't include cells in them, here's the diagram:

(sorry, text is small)

Finished the first 3 levels in normal mode, and the first puzzle pack as well.

More tips from me! Hope these are useful to you new Picross DS players

WOW!!! Sihum Picrosskidia!



nice!

I finally managed to clear most Free Mode Lv 6, and left 1 puzzle and unlocked Lv 10, after like 4 weeks... ...

FINALLY!!!

I clear Freemode Lv 6... like after 4 weeks!

I always use the midpoint method whereby if there is 4 spaces needed to be filled out of 5, fill in the points that is intersected.

WOO!

that won't work... if there are lotsa "1"s...

I don't use that method to 1's.
Only to 2 and above.

For instance, 2 when there's 3 boxes left
3 when there's 4 boxes left
etc. etc. etc.

Oh talking about picross, let's play!

Cleared Normal Lv 5 and Freemode Lv 3. So far didn't have the need to use the overlay mode.
