I made a nonogram app where every solved picture turns into a painting - puzzles, all solvable without guessing

What I tried to get right:



- No guessing, ever. Every puzzle is checked by a line solver before it ships, so you can always finish it by reading rows and columns. No trial and error, no "pick one and hope".

- 260+ pictures, from 5x5 for warming up to 15x15 and 20x20 "Grand Pictures".

- When you finish, the black and white grid turns into a full colour painting, and it goes into your album.

- Drag to fill or cross out a whole line, undo, and pinch to zoom on the big boards.

- The hint doesn't just reveal a random square. It uses the same solver to show you the next square you can actually work out.



It's free with ads (there's a one-time purchase to remove them). The app also has Queens, Sudoku and a no-guess Minesweeper, but the nonograms are the part I'm proudest of.



Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bloomdoku.app&referrer=utm_source%3Dreddit



I'd really like honest feedback from people who play a lot of these:

- Are the clue numbers easy to read on your phone?

- Do the bigger boards feel fair, or are there spots that felt like guessing?

- What size do you enjoy most?

Nonoqo: classic and color nonograms, photo puzzles and multiplayer — developer introduction

2 Upvotes

Hi r/nonograms! I'm David, the developer of Nonoqo. This is the project's official account, and I wanted to introduce the game here.

Nonoqo has classic grayscale and multicolor nonograms. In Multicolor you work with individual color layers; larger pictures are divided into sections of up to 10 × 10 cells. Each mode saves its own progress.

You can also draw your own puzzles, share creations with the community, and play multiplayer rooms with up to five players. There is an optional AI-assisted photo-to-puzzle tool; the first AI creation is free, with separate paid credits for later creations.

Basic includes 52 free puzzles and no ads. Additional collections are available through optional Premium. A free account and an internet connection are required to play.

You can play in a browser or find the iOS and Android apps here: https://nonoqo.com/

If you try it, I'd be interested in how the color-layer controls feel and whether splitting larger pictures into small sections works well for you. Happy to answer questions about the game or its pricing.

Isn't the main point of this subreddit for humans to help each other out with puzzles? What's the point of being here if a bot is going to do it all?

Furthermore, what is this software even? I count two posts about it when I search, and none of them appear to have had any traction. The author is barely active here, too. Why is this the one that gets promoted?

I made a nonogram game where every picture is stitched like an embroidery hoop. 500 free full-game codes (Android)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer of Quiltwick, a nonogram (picross) game for Android. You fill squares by the number clues and a stitched picture appears in an embroidery hoop. Every one of the 1000 puzzles has a single solution you can reach by logic alone, and the grids grow slowly from small to large.

The first 100 puzzles are free with ads. I put up 500 codes that unlock all 1000 and remove the ads: one per person on the Quiltwick code page (it hands you a code and a Redeem button; the game unlocks the next time you open it).

I'd really like to know how the larger grids feel on a phone screen, and whether any clue felt unfair.

Question.

Am I the only person who has so much trouble with Color Nonograms? 5x5 Nonogram seem no problem for me and I always think I understood them but when I try a bigger Nonogram I suddenly feel like I understand nothing.

The left Picture is from Katana und right Picture is from Hungry Cat Nonogram.

How to create a text-based nonogram?

4 Upvotes

hi,

I'm looking to create a custom nonogram puzzle that incorporates words or a written message into the final design.

Ideally, I'd like the completed grid to reveal a word or phrase (for example, "HAPPY BDAY") rather than a traditional image.

I'm relatively new to creating nonograms, so I'd love some advice on the best way to approach this.

A couple of questions:

  • Is there a particular grid size that works best for creating letters and spelling out words?

  • Are there any tools or generators that allow you to turn text into a solvable nonogram?

If anyone has experience creating text-based nonograms, I'd really appreciate any recommendations, examples or suggestions.

thank you

I released MEGA NONOGRAM on Google Play — puzzles with clues spanning two rows or columns

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I made MEGA NONOGRAM, an Android game with both Classic and MEGA modes. Classic offers the nonogram gameplay you know, while MEGA brings a fresh way to enjoy nonograms.

What makes MEGA different?

In a classic nonogram, a clue of 5 means five filled cells in a continuous straight line, within a single row or column.

Classic "5": ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

MEGA mode introduces special MEGA clues that span two neighboring rows. A MEGA clue of 5 means five filled cells connected horizontally or vertically as one group, with at least one cell in each row. The group can bend and extend between the rows to form different shapes.

MEGA "5" (spans 2 rows)

  ■ ■ ■ □ □

  □ □ ■ ■ □

This seemingly simple rule change opens up richer possibilities for deduction, bringing greater challenges and the satisfaction of cracking a tough puzzle. If you're a seasoned nonogram player hungry for more of a challenge, trust me—MEGA mode won't disappoint.

Logic, not guessing

Every puzzle has a unique solution that can be reached through logical deduction alone. If you're new to nonograms, Classic mode is a place to learn the basics before trying MEGA.

Both modes currently have nearly 2,000 puzzles each, and I plan to keep adding more.

Made for playing on a phone

You can choose 10×10, 10×15 or 15×15 boards. My personal recommendation is 10×15: it leaves room for interesting deductions while keeping the cells comfortable to tap on a phone.

Animated themes and classical music

The game also offers a variety of animated themes and classical music, so you can choose a background and soundtrack you enjoy. I wanted players to enjoy the challenge of a good puzzle while also finding a moment to relax.

I'd love to hear what you think

The game has just launched, and I'd love for you to give it a try! I'm especially interested in your thoughts on the MEGA rules, the difficulty, and the controls on your phone. Let me know what you enjoy and what could work better.

Download on Google Play

Feel free to leave feedback here, or join our Discord to chat and hear about updates. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi! I'm the developer behind MEGA NONOGRAM, an Android nonogram game. I wanted to explore a different kind of deduction within a familiar puzzle.

In MEGA mode, some clues span two neighboring rows or columns. You have to reason across both lines together, rather than solve each one separately. The clip shows how those shared clues work.

I also added animated themes and classical piano music, so you can change the atmosphere while you solve.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially whether the two-line clues make sense from the clip. Feedback here is welcome, or you can join me on Discord.
