While SquareCells does perhaps not reach the same level of puzzle-euphoria as developer Matthew Brown's Hexcells games, it is still a very cool puzzle game. If the Hexcells games are (broadly) a sort of riff on Minesweeper (except good) then this is a take on Picross/Nonograms.

Like Brown's previous games SquareCells also has a very clean, minimalist presentation, and a calm, meditative atmosphere thanks to its ethereal music and sound design.

It probably won't prove especially difficult for actual smart human beings, but to my moronic face it was challenging enough that I felt like a real puzzle lord when I completed the latter puzzles without mistakes.
Recommended, especially at its currently miniscule price.
