Hello, my name is Cyril, and today I want to welcome you to a show where the only thing that matters is a right answer. This is the show where I quiz my buddy and Defunct Games cohort Lorne Riseley to see how much he knows about video games, and today we have an unusual episode. We normally do a silly 'this or that' style quiz, but over the next half hour we're going to be talking a brand new game that I got in for review called Piczle Colors.

We'll get into it in greater detail in a few minutes, but this is basically a slightly variation on the classic puzzle series Picross. The idea is to use the numbers listed to paint portions of the rows and columns in order to draw a picture. The problem is that half the times the picture ended up being something I would never have been able to figure out without them labeling it. So, after solving all 300 puzzles, I thought it might be fun to quiz Lorne and see how many he got right. We're going to run through a few dozen of these pictures, and I want you to play along. Try and figure out what these drawings are supposed to be and see if you get a higher score than Lorne. That shouldn't be hard.
