Love the game
Very fun, I play it all the time, everywhere. Sounds and graphics are amusing.
Decent time waster, but not a good nonogram game
I’ve been playing this off and on for a while. It’s a fairly low-effort nonogram game, but mostly inoffensive enough to kill time while waiting for a bus or something.
There’s a story mode (“Big” mode) where you make pictures from a storybook, and it tells you a fairy tale like something you might tell to a 4-year-old to get them to bed. When you finish a full panel in Big mode, it shows you a non-pixelized version of the picture you just finished, which is a decent idea, but in practice it just shows how little effort went into this game. All the art is really simple vector images of repetitive nonsense. Nearly all the time you spend in this game will be on making 5-pointed stars on a black background.
Some of the puzzles are difficult, and can’t really be played by anyone less than age 8 or so, but that’s a huge problem when the art and story aren’t age-appropriate for a child older than 5.
The most unforgivable thing about this game, however, is that several of the puzzles in Big mode do not have unique solutions. Usually this is pretty easy to spot, as you’ll have a clear x-wing formation, but I recently finished one that had 4 different valid solutions, and the first point of ambiguity was far enough from the end that I couldn’t be sure without just making random guesses.

Calming & Meditative
This app helps me slow down my mind so I can drift off to sleep. Once you get the hang of it, you can complete each nonogram with minimal active thought. Lovely graphics and colours. Turn off the music and switch to dark mode to reduce stimuli.
No app support
I love Luna story so, so, so much but unfortunately I’m leaving a bad review as I’ve been unable to figure out how to reach support . I’ve finished all the small images and 19/20 large images I have access to but unfortunately one image puzzle on page 14 doesn’t load, and hasn’t for weeks. I feel there is no way to fix it without losing all my progress and feel quite disheartened as I love this game, and have spent so many hours on it. Disappointing there isn’t any way to reach support.

My favorite picross
I loved this game start to finish. The music is lovely and calming, the puzzles have a good range of difficulty, and I got so much time out of it. The ads were also non intrusive and never took away from my experience. This game has been part of my bedtime ritual for months and the final story was such a lovely send off. Can’t wait to play the next one!

Fun, but not usable on small screens
Game has an interesting twist compared to other nonograms: it fills in the color of blocks, but plays like a black/white version where you only worry about whether a block is filled or not.
Problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to zoom in on the puzzle. Once you get past the small, easy puzzles, the big ones are inconvenient to fill out. Your fat fingers will constantly touch the wrong square. They provide a mechanic for moving the selected square via a pseudo D-pad, but this is slow and inefficient.
Would be a higher rating if a zoom option was added. Otherwise, only get this if you have an iPad and stylus.

Great, but accessibility options needed
Would be great to have some adjustable settings for colour blind folks. Played for a while but eventually some of the colours blended too much into the background for me.
Pretty
This is such a petty and relaxing version of this game. Ads are not overbearing. Most you can skip.
Really good game
I love this game after only 30 minutes of playing it and it helps to practice addition
One of the better nonogram apps
I started out playing a game like this called sky castle and I couldn’t find a similar format once I finished it until I discovered this app. I really enjoy the interface, and the aesthetics. The ads aren’t too frequent either which is a perk, others have ads after every level. This is among the elite in nonogram games in my opinion
