Picross is the perfect number based tile game, I think. It's simple to understand and easily expandable, and satisfying to solve. There are a lot of tiny rules you can learn to help solve puzzles. Luna Story 2 is generally credited as the best Picross app, and if nothing else it's packed w the most content and has the most user friendly experience. The difficulty curve is nice in the main Story Mode, where you have 6 courses to complete. As you move up in course, the puzzles get bigger and harder and test your knowledge more, and just as it hits the brink of being annoying you finish and the curve starts again, giving you the bliss of blowing through easy puzzles and making you feel smart for how much faster you can do them now with your new understanding. Additionally, there are so many quality of life features I've sorely missed when trying other Picross apps. The fact that when you put together the boxes to complete a number, it grays that number out, adds a vital piece to completing each puzzle. The number of lives, letting you know instantly when you messed up, so you don't finish and realize something is wrong but you have no idea what, as well as the ability to watch ads for extra lives means you aren't forced to restart when you accidentally mess up super far in to a big puzzle. I don't get or care about the minimal story, but it's neat that it's there. The artstyle is relaxing and perfectly conducive to relaxed thoughtful state of playing Picross. This game is absolutely packed with content, you can play for months and not finish, but the simple fact that you can finish and there are smaller goals to finish means this game actually has internal progression systems. Overall, this game is really good if you want to play Picross.
