What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Animal Color Cross, a downloadable DSiWare game, is like a simpler version of the popular Picross 3-D. This is a puzzle game played out on a grid where kids follow rules to fill in the grid and solve the puzzle. Kids who like the concept behind Picross 3-D, but find the game too challenging should have a far easier time with Animal Color Cross.
