Pixross is a solid nonogram/picross variant. Nonograms are a paint by the numbers type of puzzle where each row and column indicate the number of pixels that are coloured in.

There are usually two types of puzzle games. One type has a clear cut solution with only one possible path to that solution.

Ever Forward falls into the first category but it does a great job of obscuring the path to the solution and makes it feel like a more open world.
