TIPS & TRICKS:

• Never played picross before? Confused by the rules? Stuck on a puzzle? Read up on the game here!
• Once you've recruited a few aliens past the first three, you can customize your team by presing the space bar on the map screen!
• There is currently no direct way to exit out of a puzzle you didn't mean to start, though you can fail it on purpose with no penalty.
• Abilities that reveal lines and columns "stack", which means using three characters who reveal one random line will always reveal three random lines, and so on.
• According to my uncle who works at GBJam, look under the truck to find a super powerful secret monster!!!
