Picross NP Vol.1 is a Logic Puzzle game, developed by Jupiter Multimedia and published by Nintendo. It was released for the SNES in Japan in 1999; but was left unreleased in other regions.

Gameplay

In Picross, each puzzle--also referred to by the game as a 'problem'--consists of a grid of squares. The player is given 30 minutes to complete a puzzle by shading in particular squares in order to make some sort of picture. In each puzzle, there are numbers adjacent to each row or column which indicate how many squares in each corresponding row or column need to be shaded.

The player can mark squares that (s)he thinks would not form part of the picture with an 'X'. If the player attempts to shade in a square that is not part of the picture, (s)he will receive a time penalty- 2 minutes for the first mistake, 4 minutes for the second, and 8 minutes for any mistake thereafter.

There are 6 levels of gameplay; including a 'Character' round, which features 12 puzzles based on Pokémon. Depending on the difficulty level each puzzle grid can be 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 tiles in horizontal and/or vertical width.
