About this game

Find which neighboring squares must be painted and create a beautiful picture! Each puzzle consists of a grid containing clues in various places. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting the squares around each clue so that the number of painted squares, including the square with the clue, matches the value of the clue.

Fill-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Conceptis puzzle offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game features a unique fingertip cursor which enables playing large puzzle grids with ease and precision: to fill a square, move cursor to the desired location and tap anywhere on the screen. To fill multiple squares, press and hold fingertip until cursor fills the square and start dragging to neighboring squares. The game also features a powerful Smart-fill cursor for quick, single-tap filling of all remaining empty squares around a clue.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Fill-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Ratings and reviews

There are a couple of features it would be nice to see (mostly dark mode and a tutorial for advanced puzzles), but it's a good, *fun* puzzle game. I've also never seen this "minesweeper nonogram" style of puzzle before, which makes it unique, too. Update 5/2024: Dark mode has landed! Unfortunately, the puzzle colors don't invert, so the menus are nice, but solving puzzles is still pretty bright. 🙁

Great Puzzle Game! It's a more in depth and interesting version of classic minesweeper. The only problem I have is that the back button and cursor mode changer are at the top of the screen. I switch between modes often and it's kinda annoying to reach to the top of the screen every time for that. Other than that, I have continued to enjoy the logical pathways that I have to navigate to complete each puzzle.

Had a game like this on my first phone, spent forever trying to find a similar one. They are rare! This is a good one, though I would like more tips and tricks for the Advanced Logic puzzles. Love the box mode, makes it so much less tedious. This is my go to puzzle if I need to lose myself in logicky thought. The pictures are intricate for the size, (e.g. a 32x20 of Rembrandt's Night Watch) Plus there are free weekly puzzles, 1 per week. These take awhile, so that's actually enough. Great job!
