CrossCells

難しすぎず、しかし頭をフル回転させてくれる計算パズル 楽しかったです

Very decent logic puzzle game. I believe it is never necessary to guess (where you lock in an option and keep playing to see if it pans out, then reset if it doesn't). I admit I've done that once or twice in some medium levels, but I stopped doing it eventually and got by on pure logic, even for the final levels. Sometimes the logic goes deep (is any of these numbers necessary for every possible solution? Then it must be 'on'. What are the min and max number of tiles I need to get to the total, and does that eliminate anything?) Slowly but surely you will be able to map out your certainties, and to me this is a very satisfying way to solve puzzles.

more than good other games from developer.

Crosscells is a short puzzle game that uses simple math equations to solve each of its fifty stages. The visuals are minimalistic yet very pleasing to the eye, following the style of other puzzles in the “Cells” series, primarily using white and blue to create a relaxing effect. The game is similar to Sudoku, with a few twists and polished animations. It is an enjoyable experience that can entertain the player for a couple of hours, but it is nothing particularly remarkable.

not very good

CrossCells is a numeracy-based logic game in which tiles in rows and columns are selected or deselected to match a sum criteria or tile limit. This is expanded on in later levels through multiplication, having overlapping conditions, and conditions that apply to the same row, e.g. sum to 11 using 3 tiles, or reading left to right sum to 11 and reading right to left sum to 9. This adds complexity and ensures the levels scale in difficulty throughout. Where this game loses marks is that it felt as though something was missing in the logical flow. Often, you reach a point in a puzzle where there are a few viable solutions, and you must use process of elimination to follow through possible pathways to solve the puzzle. Sometimes this was possible to do mentally, but, particularly later on, it would require you to follow a possible solution 10+ steps through before you would be able to rule it out as impossible. In the final levels I found myself reaching a point where no further tiles could be determined with certainty and so I would take a screenshot, try a possible path, and then revert to my screenshot once that path was ruled out. A simple option to colour a tile in dark blue as a tentative option would have made this part of the logic much more enjoyable. I found this a challenging and enjoyable puzzle game, but personally preferred the Hex puzzles from this developer. CrossCells runs flawlessly on Steam Deck.
