Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Welcome to the NeoGAF Picross community. Here we can discuss our favorite Picross games, suggest games for others, ask for puzzle help, etc.
What is Picross?
Picross (or Nonograms) are number puzzles that, once solved, display artwork or sprite work. They're popular in video games because they're typically used to reveal sprites from other games. Examples of this include Mario's Picross for the Game Boy, or Twilight Princess Picross for the 3DS.

Picross S (and subsequent releases such as S2-S6) are a good jumping off point for most players. The game has decent tutorials that will get you up to speed. These games are cheap ($8) and have a massive amount of puzzles included.
Any other recommendations?

Murder by Numbers is a cross between Picross and a visual novel, set in Hollywood in the mid 90s. You solve Picross puzzles to find clues that all lead up to solving murder mysteries. Very stylish and a good balance between puzzles and not-puzzles.
Paint it Back is a fun premise for Picross - all the paintings in a museum have been stolen, and you have to repaint them (using picross) to put them back on display. Steam Workshop support adds a TON of user-generated content to this game.
