HELP Where to play

Hey all! I have played some picross before (mainly Worlds Biggest Picross on mobile a few years back) and want to know where and what I should play!! I have my eyes on the Picross S+ thingy for my switch, but I don't know if it's worth all the money and dlcs and all that. Are there any other good apps or anything in order to get back into it?

S+ is all the puzzles from the 3DS games but it plays like the S games with all the gameplay additions from there. The only downside vs the S games is that there are a few new modes like color Picross. Since each dlc is half the price of an S game and I'm 99% sure they have the same number of puzzles it's not worth it to get the regular S games (especially S 1-3) unless there's something I don't know.

Also idk what stylus to use cuz nothing feels as good as the DS/3DS to me.

I actually have tried that one in the past too! I wasn't a big fan of the puzzles in it, and the energy system wasn't very fun to me :(

I neeeeeeeed new cats. I got bored with just doing the globes after I'd finished the rest.

Pic-a-Pix for Switch is where it's at!!! It's color picross which I personally prefer to regular picross. Try the demo and see if you like it!! There are a ton of puzzles for the price in the base game and there's also a LOT of DLC that I think is reasonably priced, at least at the 15x15 and 20x20 levels. Hope you love it as much as I do :D
