Hatsune Miku Logic Paint in IOS

★★★★★ Too small for phones and not enough Miku

I’m a big Picross fan having beat all the levels in Picross for DS and Super Famicon. Hatsune Miku Logic puzzle plays fine, as in there we’re zero glitches and it’s a working Picross logic puzzle, but the art in the solutions could have used stronger silhouettes. Usually when you’re 75% of the way through a puzzle, I believe you should be able to guess what the picture is supposed to be based on the shape. There were too many times I’d finish the blob, guess “maybe it’s a bear?” And turns out it’s a key! I bought this initially for my iPhone 12, but had to switch it to my iPad because the phone’s screen was too small. I’d intend to click one square, my finger would click the one next to it, and I’d have to restart the puzzle to ensure I got a 3 star rating. Not because I’m bad at the game, but because even my small fingers are too big. There is an option to select only one row at a time and drag from there, but it’s really slow. Sadly though, putting it on iPad stretched out the pictures you get as prizes so there’s artifacts smeared all over a giant screen. Finally, there’s just not enough Miku in this Miku game. The Vocaloid characters only show up as solutions to the 4 giant board puzzles and as the artwork you get for completing the puzzles (which you can’t do anything with). All the 150+ regular puzzle solutions are generic things like keys, bears, and waffles. And given Vocaloid is a music app, you’d think the music’s great right? Nope, it’s one generic techno song on a 30 second loop. If you really want a Picross-style logic puzzle for your iPad, this could do the job, but don’t expect clever silhouette art or much Hatsune Miku
