Piczle Colors (2019)
Rainy Frog, Score Studios
Piczle Colors isn't your typical grid-based color logic-puzzle! Like other puzzles of this type, hints next to each row and above each column tell you how many blocks of each color go in each row or column. By following these hints you can paint each part of the grid and reveal an image. However, these hints do NOT tell you the order they come in! Smaller puzzles ease you into this new way of thinking. You can work your way through 6 levels with 50 puzzles each, ranging in size from 5x5 to 15x10. Each puzzle lets you start with a randomly cleared row and column if you need a helping hand, but clearing puzzles without using hints earns you coins, which you can use to unlock Piczle Colors' many cool extra features!

Also there is Dbug the cat who is naturally more concerned with cat matters.

By A.J. MaciejewskiPiczle Colors expands on the classic Picross formula in clever ways to create its own concoction of highly enjoyable picture-based puzzles.

By Agustín RaluyPiczle Colors is a game to vindicate, one of those invisible titles that we do not normally notice but to which, if we decide to give it a chance, not only will it not disappoint us but it will provide hours and hours of entertainment while we give it a little to the head. It may not be a title to which to dedicate long periods of play, but an ideal title for those short periods in waiting, trips or moments of disconnection. Piczle Colors is a game that does not deceive in its approach and gives us exactly what it promises. Even more. And that, in these times, is already a lot.
Nintendo Times
By Jordan BrewerGREAT - Piczle Colors is a fresh and fun take on the puzzle genre. The new gameplay element is fun for beginners, and there’s a hefty amount of content to back it up. The game may be too easy for experts at this type of game, but for everyone else this is a great starting point.

By D. CrowleyPiczle Colors has too many issues to be worth playing to me, but if you're a younger or inexperienced gamer you may find a smidge of enjoyment here. Definitely check out the demo before spending anything.
Nintendo Insider
By Ryan JanesPiczle Colors is a decent puzzle game that offers a good number of tough and rewarding brainteasers to sink your teeth into. Unfortunately, my time spent coloring in squares was hindered thanks to the game’s often confusing and less than helpful presentation of its clues. Challenging sure but not always in the way you want.
