Once the puzzle is solved it turns in to a colored pixel art painting, but who really cares about that. They get pretty crazy, but so far I haven't found one that can't be solved purely with logic, though I've almost given up and started guessing a few times. The harder puzzles have easier versions that split the painting up into more sections so you get more row/column hints, after all the sections are done you've solved it. It's $8 and there's a demo on the store page.

For anyone who played this, I picked up Pepper's Puzzles after seeing weev play it on Steam and it's basically the exact same game as Paint It Back if you need a nonogram fix.
Along the same lines, I picked up Train Valley after seeing bobman playing it and it's pretty fun. It's kinda like Mini Metro but, imo, better. It's similar in that train stations start popping up and it's your job to connect them, but different in a few ways:
- rather than just drawing lines to connect stations, you actually lay out the tracks between them and form junctions and stuff
- you have to actively switch junctions as trains go around your tracks to make sure each train gets to its destination station, prevent trains from crashing into each other, etc
- trains have cash value that decrease the longer you take to deliver them to their station, and there are achievements/goals in each level to try to hit a certain cash level
I got about 20 hours out of it to finish all the levels (including the DLC) and most achievements, I think it's a good value.
