About this game

Nonograms Katana: Sharpen your mind!

Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Griddlers, Picross, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Pic-a-Pix, "Paint by numbers" and other names, are picture logic puzzles 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. 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 groups.
To solve a puzzle, one needs to determine which cells will be boxes and which will be empty. Determining which cells are to be left empty (called spaces) is as important as determining which to fill (called boxes). Later in the solving process, the spaces help determine where a clue (continuing block of boxes and a number in the legend) may spread. Solvers usually use a dot or a cross to mark cells they are certain are spaces.
It is also important never to guess. Only cells that can be determined by logic should be filled. If guessing, a single error can spread over the entire field and completely ruin the solution.

Ratings and reviews

Hands down the best nonogram app I have played. It's fun to see what the users have come up with. Also all the tools available make it more fun to solve the puzzle. The whole section of quests and expeditions while being optional builds a very cohesive experience. For people who are complaining about ads, developers have to make money. They actually give you a way to pay for an ad free experience unlike a lot of games that have no way to even do that.

This was a five-star game until the last few updates. I've played this game almost every day for years. There have always been banner ads, which is great. The developer makes some money, and they are unobtrusive. A few months ago, they introduced full screen ads between every puzzle (in addition to the banners). A frustration, but they could be closed immediately. Now the ads are timed, or worse, they require user interaction to end them. With some sadness, I'm uninstalling the game.

Weird black region at the top of the screen. Not a big problem in portrait, huge problem in landscape. Best nonogram/picross game I've found on the play store despite this. Has more settings than I know what to do with, though I'd appreciate one more to prevent zooming out past fitting the whole puzzle to the edges of the screen.
