A puzzle game that combines nonograms (picross) and jigsaw puzzles. Use logical thinking to complete pixel art and assemble beautiful jigsaw puzzles with the pieces you collect!

What Are Nonograms?

  • Create pixel art-like pictures using a grid.
  • Numbers outside the grid are hints. Use them to decide which squares to fill.
  • Once completed, cute pictures of animals, objects, or flowers appear!

How to Play Nonograms

  • Switching Fill Modes
    Use the two buttons at the bottom center of the screen to switch fill modes.
    ■: Mode for filling squares with color.
    ×: Mode for marking squares with an × (indicating a confirmed blank square).
  • Filling Squares
    Click/tap a square to fill it. Depending on the fill mode, it will either be colored or marked with an ×.

Solving Nonograms

  1. Grid and Numbers
    • The grid consists of squares, such as 5x5 or 10x10.
    • Each row (horizontal) and column (vertical) has numbers to the left or above (e.g., "3" or "1 2").
    • These numbers indicate how many consecutive squares to fill in that row or column.
      • Example: "3" → Fill 3 consecutive squares.
      • Example: "1 2" → Fill 1 square, leave a gap, then fill 2 consecutive squares.
  2. Filling Squares
    • Use the number hints to deduce which squares to fill.
      For example, if the grid is 5 squares wide:
      • If the hint is "5," you know all 5 squares are filled:
        ■■■■■
      • If the hint is "4," there are two possible cases:
        ■■■■□
        □■■■■
        The three middle squares are filled in both cases, so they are "confirmed squares" and can be filled immediately:
        □■■■□
    • Mark squares confirmed as blank with an × to narrow down which squares need filling, making deduction easier.
  3. Spacing Rule
    • When there are multiple numbers (e.g., "1 2"), filled squares must be separated by at least one blank square.
      • Example: "1 2" means fill 1 square, leave at least one blank, then fill 2 squares.
    • Use the number hints to deduce which squares to fill.
      For example, if the grid is 5 squares wide:
      • If the hint is "2 2," the 5 squares are fully used with a blank in between:
        ■■×■■
      • If the hint is "1 2," there are three possible cases:
        ■□■■□
        ■□□■■
        □■□■■
        The "confirmed square" common to all cases is filled as follows:
        □□□■□
  4. Completion Condition
    • Fill squares to satisfy all row and column numbers to clear the puzzle!
    • When filled correctly, a picture (pixel art) appears on the grid.

Completing the Jigsaw Puzzle

  • Each time you clear a nonogram, you randomly receive jigsaw puzzle pieces.
  • Place the collected pieces onto the board. If the position is correct, the piece locks in.
  • Fit all the pieces together to complete the picture.
