The best way to support your #indiedev or #solodev is to leave a review, and you really do not need to stress about it. Even one-word reviews are gratefully received and incredibly useful, and won't take much of your time at all!

I've been wanting to scratch an itch to replay Alundra again after all this time. I'm not sure if modern gaming or old age has made me soft, but hoo boy, I don't remember it being *this* tough when I played it originally... 😰 Game, it's ok to hold my hand a *little*, you know...

Harvesting Steam reviews is so stressful for any #indiedev but similarly, they can also be a great source of comfort or humour. Every now and again (more often than I deserve) I get some real belters! 😆🥰 (Piczle World of Puzzles s.team/a/2174300)

A positive Steam review for Piczle World of Puzzles that reads:

The world may be about to end, so you're probably concerned about your nonogram puzzle game collection, and rightfully so.

There they are, scattered throughout your Steam library, maybe in different categories, perhaps some even have a desktop shortcut. But still. Don't you just wish, deep down, that there could just be one big nonogram game that had everything in one place? And that the world doesn't end, of course. Several of us are hoping for that as well.

Here to grant your wish is Piczle World of Puzzles, the ultimate collection of Score Studios games, all in one place! Score, of course is famous for their nonogram style games such as Piczle Cross, Piczle Cells, Piczle Lines, and Piczle Global Thermonuclear War.

You may have played some of these games already, but since they are mostly DLC for this free game that already has a generous amount of puzzles, you don't need to buy them again. But you could, you know. Just to have them.

Or to quote Non Ishida, the inventor of nonograms, "ただの数字の集まりです".

I don't read Japanese, but I bet it's profound.

Just like you.

Peace.

Luckily I still have a couple stashed away! Say hello to my new Piczle mug! I tell you, it's a real nice way to solidify your brand; having merch you use every day to remind you what you're working for. I highly recommend it!

Score Studios LLC@scorestudios· Mar 30

Had to sadly say goodbye to my Piczle mug. I made some in 2019 for the release of Piczle Colors and have been using this one mug *daily* for my coffee ever since. It has lasted quite a while but is now not only worn and chipped but leaky as well. 😥
