Touch Arcade: Huebrix [$0.99] is a frustrating game to talk about. I want to tell you all about its puzzles, which are good and clever and rarely aggravating. I want to warn you about its flaws, which are found in nearly every other part of the package. I want to say it's a great little game, one that could scratch your hypothetical Picross/nonogram itch almost perfectly. I want to say it's poorly designed in every way except the one that counts most. Buckle up, in other words. Things are about to get messy.

Gamesauce sat down with Yellow Monkey Studios’ founder and game designer Shailesh Prabhu to talk about the recent launch of their game, the struggle to break out of India to reach a global market and putting Indian indie game developers on the global map.
AR: Huebrix, the new puzzle game from Yellow Monkey Studios and launched on Android by NoodleCake Studios, is at its heart a game of drawing lines.
