About
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.

Really good nongram game. Has different topics: plants, animals, zodiac etc and then evolution as the story component. Very nice. An explanation of the various nonograms. Standard way to do nonograms but a different approach. LOVELY Only way I could think it could be improved is if the cells could be made a tiny bit bigger for "fat fingers". I sometimes hit the next cell accidentally.

I ADORE these games, and this one takes the cake. It's puzzling enough to be fun, and gives gorgeous colors/ pictures AND teaches about things. Ads aren't overbearing, and the various colors don't make the puzzles hard, since they're all treated like one color. (At least on the level I'm doing, not sure if there's a different setting)

The design is nice, but really frustrating. It's really easy to hit the wrong space on the tiny squares, other than the edges which seem nearly impossible sometimes. Not only do you take a hit toward finishing the puzzle, it also gives you hints about the pattern that you weren't looking for when you hit a box by mistake. Maybe if it expanded when you put your finger down, or didn't tell you when you are wrong at all (at least, an option for it), but it's too frustrating as is.

I recently got into these types of puzzles & I'm a big fan of this app. There are many different puzzles to choose from & many of them are challenging in a fun way. You have the option to zoom in but it's MUCH easier to solve the puzzle if you can see the whole thing. Unfortunately the precision with touching small squares is not great & I'll often accidentally hit a wrong square. There's also only a few easy/medium puzzles to play; the rest are difficult.

It's fun. When you get the right square filled in, it stays filled in. You can't accidentally erase it. I often hit wrong spots, and some games I've played will erase the right spot. Not this one. You also get a small bit of info about the pictures. Handy, especially with plants, etc. that you've never heard of. The game is simple to play and well-explained. I've finished some sections but there is still a nice chunk to come. Very enjoyable, very entertaining. The world disappears when you play.

Good, but the controls are not clearly marked, and it took me a while to figure out what the little flower symbol was supposed to mean. It also automatically marks you wrong if you try to put a color where an x should be, but not vice versa, and there's no way to turn that off. Decent gameplay, just needs a tweak or two.

There's a few things that need to be fixed before I pay for no ads: add an undo button, add a color option to the paper mode so you can still see the picture coming together without the instant feedback of normal mode, add auto shading of one number in a row if that one is finished even if the whole row isn't finished. Other than that it works pretty well with minimal bugs and not too many ads. The theme is enjoyable and the pictures are cute.

Mostly excellent. I would love a larger directional pad for the larger puzzles. On the 20x20 puzzles I use the d-pad to avoid mistakes, but the size of the pad itself makes it easy to mis-click. When I do mis-click and it goes off in the wrong direction I can lose every life in one go if I don't remove my finger fast enough.

Almost perfect version of this game. I really don't understand what people are talking about when it comes to controls. You can hold down and see exactly what you're touching before committing. I only have two critiques: I wish I could change settings mid game. Like turning sound on/off. Second, the game darkens the numbers that you've completed, but it does it even if *you* don't know you've completed it (as in, it could be a different answer). This basically gives a big clue away.

The game is good, really. However I would like to change the background. I really like it when I am playing at night but the mood doesn't match when it's day. Also when I only want a single colour while not revealing the image's actual colours, it's always yellow. I would like to select any other colour, cuz this one hurts my eye when using at night.

I did end up buying the ad free package, and so far, I am enjoying the lovely experience of nonograms. Every picture I finish gives a really fun fact about the image itself! I'm learning so much about plants and astronomy. It's so rewarding to see the finished image. I also just really enjoy how challenging the nonograms get. Very well made! Definitely worth the ad free buy.
