Evaluation
Cross Set launched on November 17, 2015 as a self-contained puzzle game with 50+ levels, 17 Steam achievements, and ambient music. The store description presents a fixed feature set with no mention of planned updates or additional content.
On September 28, 2026, the developer announced that Cross Set would be transitioning to a permanently free-to-play model to celebrate the game's approaching 11th anniversary. The post frames this as a way to introduce new players to the core mechanics before they consider the expanded sequel, Cross Set Infinity (released October 28, 2017). Crucially, the announcement contains no mention of new content, updates, or changes to the game itself — it is purely a pricing/availability change. Existing owners keep the game as-is.
The developer's only other notable communication was the October 2017 post announcing Cross Set Infinity, a separate sequel title. No DLC was ever listed for this game, and no post-launch content was added after launch. The game shipped as a finished product and has remained unchanged in content since November 2015.

About this game
Cross Set is a brain-teasing new number puzzle game.
The rule of the game is quite simple:
- There is an NxN square grid (up to 9x9)
- The solution is to have every row and column containing every number 1 through N
- The grid is already constrained by sets of candidates
But the gameplay is deep, when you actually play it.
The feelings you will have when playing this game will be somewhat like playing Sudoku, but it's more enjoyable.
Key Features:
- 50+ Unique Levels
- 17 Steam Achievements
- Calm and Ambient BGM
* All puzzle sets are different from the pre-distributed version.
