Emotions
Players are frustrated primarily due to technical issues such as game crashes, freezing, and lack of a save system. Additionally, game balance issues, particularly with boss abilities and difficulty imbalances, contribute significantly to this frustration.
The game's creative blend of roguelike elements with traditional nonogram puzzles is highly enjoyable. Players find the gameplay addictive and appreciate the unique twist on classic Picross mechanics.
Players express joy due to the game's fun and satisfying take on Picross. The game is particularly enjoyable for those who love nonogram puzzles and find the experience highly engaging.
The full game did not meet the high expectations set by the demo, leaving players feeling disappointed. The lack of polish and inability to save progress further contribute to this sentiment.
The full release introduced significant improvements and additional content, which players find satisfying. The roguelite elements add depth and replayability to the game.
