Welcome to Depixtion, a relaxing puzzle game where you create beautiful works of art using logic. Based on the popular Picross series, Depixtion blends color mixing mechanics with the rules of nonograms to create a uniquely colorful experience.
Depixtion innovates on the popular Picross formula by integrating a never before seen color mixing mechanic, generating the largest color palette in a nonogram game to date.
Instead of a single monochrome puzzle, players complete 3 separate colored picross puzzles, that when finished, blend together, mixing the colors to create the final image.
Because of this, the player has a higher degree of artistic input on the final image, alongside a higher verticality of challenge from the puzzle itself.
Depixtion is DevHour Games first foray into the wide world of video game development. In early 2018, co-founders Christopher Baracani and Nicholas Jones began prototyping a color-mixing puzzle game in Unity with the working title “Tetra-Art”.
Through multiple design and test sessions over the course of the following year, “Tetra-Art” was shaped and molded into “Depixtion”, a game that ventured so greatly from it’s original prototype, we insisted on changing it’s name!
Shortly after the redesign, “Depixtion” launched on Steam on Jun 17, 2019, alongside its debut at E3, where it was enjoyed by video game fanatics from all around the world!
Depixtion is expected to launch on the Nintendo Switch on February 28th, 2020!
