About this game

Nonograms, also known as Paint by Numbers, Picross, Griddlers, Pic-a-Pix, Hanjie, and various other names, are picture Logic puzzle in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture.

*** Rule ***
In Nonogram, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets.

*** Features ***
● More than 200 hand crafted beautiful pixel arts
● There are various topics to have fun with
● Playing and learning about nature at the same time
● Using hint can help you in difficult time
● Easy controls, either using drag or d-pad
● Support Monotone and Color Mode
● Support zooming in big size level
● Playing session is saved/resumed automatically
● Don’t forget to using Mark (X) to solve the puzzle easier

*** Strategy ***
Simpler puzzles can usually be solved by a reasoning on a single row only (or a single column) at each given time, to determine as many boxes and spaces on that row as possible. Then trying another row (or column), until there are no rows that contain undetermined cells.

Some more difficult puzzles may also require several types of "what if?" reasoning that include more than one row (or column). This works on searching for contradictions: When a cell cannot be a box, because some other cell would produce an error, it will definitely be a space. And vice versa. Advanced solvers are sometimes able to search even deeper than into the first "what if?" reasoning. It takes, however, a lot of time to get some progress.

If you like to solve classic logic puzzles such as sudoku, minesweeper, pixel art or different math games, you will love Nonogram.

Ratings and reviews

Lovely graphics and intuitive UI. Great if you're a fan of nonograms as there are lots of puzzles to do. The facts are also pretty cool, it's a nice little reward for completing each puzzle. The only thing I don't like is that the zoom function is too disorienting to be useful, but that might not be a fault of design and more of it just not working for my brain specifically.

The lives system really isn't well balanced considering you have to genuinely make guesses at some points to figure out placement. Really disappointing. Even if you turn lives off you can't play it with auto correction which is a feature I enjoy about this app. But I can't even enjoy it really because the lives are a bit unbalanced. Like I wish there was more than 5 because then you have to start levels over which gets frustrating especially when you've made a ton of progress on a level

Seriously one of my favorite games. I use this game to help cope with anxiety and insomnia. I love it. I also found the ads to be minimal. I rarely ever spend money on mobile apps, but I finally decided to support the developers after putting so much time into this game. Regardless, I found almost all the advertisements to be minimal. Updated to add: several years later, this app is still one of my favorite games. Thank you for all of the improvements with the game!
