Picross for a Cause

Picross for a Cause launched on September 6, 2020 as a complete puzzle game with over 500 puzzles across 6 themed collections. The developer posted two small updates in the week following launch (a feature patch on September 8 and a bug fix rollback on September 14), but no substantive new content was ever added post-launch. On February 28, 2023, the developer published an explicit statement confirming the game is no longer supported: "Is the game still being supported? No. I released it 2.5 years ago and frankly I don't even remember how to push an update." This is a clear, unambiguous developer statement that development has ended. The post reads as a fond farewell — thanking reviewers, community contributors, and players — reinforcing that this chapter is closed. The store description additionally confirms that the fundraising period for the game ended on July 1, 2022, having raised over $1,000 for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The game launched as a finished product and has remained that way. Anyone purchasing it today receives the complete experience that was available at launch.
