(Note: This game is included in Piczle Lines DX Bundle along with Piczle Lines DX.)

Piczle Lines DX: 500 More Puzzles!, like its predecessor Piczle Lines DX, is a puzzle game where players are given a grid with various numbered and colored dots on it, and must connect the dots in such a way that each is paired with another the exact number of spaces away that each designates. While this may seem simple, it can become complicated when you have to push a dozen lines through the same area and each needs to take up a certain amount of space and allow others to get to where they need to go.

In practice, this works out to be a nice little puzzle game, helped out by a colorful and cheerful presentation. Nothing especially impressive here, but it gets the job done nicely.

The game has 500 puzzles in its puzzle mode, dispensing with the first game’s story mode entirely. In its place there is now a behind-the scenes art gallery of character sketches for the Piczle games. Given that I thought the original game’s story was disposable, and that this game has 200 more puzzles than that game does, I actually think this is the better of the two, although perhaps younger folks who appreciate the cartoonish characters will feel otherwise.

All in all, Piczle Lines DX: 500 More Puzzles! is a great time-waster puzzle game, with enough puzzles to keep you busy for a while. It’s easy to play, but offers enough of a challenge to keep you wanting to keep playing the next puzzle.

tl;dr – Piczle Lines DX: 500 More Puzzles!, like Piczle Lines DX, is a Puzzle game that has you connecting dots of the same color with lines of a specified length. It’s simple enough that it’s easy to pick up, and compelling enough to keep you going. This game drops the first game’s story mode in favor of a lot more puzzles and some bonus material, giving it the edge in my book. Worth a look for puzzle fans.
