Cross Image is a puzzle game where you use the numbers at the top and left of a grid of squares to make an image. The grids are different shape and sizes. Left clicking in a square on a grid will turn it dark green and right clicking will turn it light green. Left clicking will also erase if the square is already filled. The dark green squares will form an image and there is a box at the top that shows what you have in black and white so you can better see what you are making.

Along the left of the screen each row will have a number or a series of numbers which indicates how many square will be dark green. An example is if a row has 2 8 3 that means that 2, 8, and 3 continuous squares in the row will be dark green and there will be at least one light green square between each set like DDLDDDDDDDDLDDD. There is also a number or a set of numbers at the top of every column that means the same thing. You use the numbers at the left and the top to determine which squares are dark green. As you color the squares how many you color dark green will appear at the right and bottom. When you get done all the squares in the grid will be either light green or dark green and an image will flash if you got it right.

This game came be very addictive. It is a little complicated for small children but older children and adults who like solving puzzles will love it. You can even print them up if you would rather solve them on paper. The shareware version comes with 3 easy puzzles. If you register it you will have 100 puzzles with different levels of difficulties. The instructions are pretty clear and gives step by step directions for solving.
