## What is Color By Nonogram?

Color by Nonogram is two puzzles in one.

First, solve a nonogram — a calming grid logic puzzle where the numbers around the edge tell you which cells to fill. Each one reveals a piece of a hidden pixel-art canvas.

Solve all 84 nonograms in a puzzle and the canvas comes alive: a color-by-number reveal where you paint the artwork stroke by stroke.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 20 themed packs (Animals, Artwork, Boats, Buildings, Cars, Fantasy, Food, Nature, Planes, Space) — the first pack is free.
• 5 puzzles per pack. 84 nonograms per puzzle. Sizes from 5×5 (a quick break) to 20×20 (an evening of flow).
• A new Daily Mini every day with a streak you can build at your own pace.
• 4 unlockable color palettes (Pastel, Vintage, Neon, Monochrome Blue) — express the same artwork differently.
• Free-fill mode: re-color any solved artwork without the number constraints. Save or share what you make.

HOW IT FEELS
• Calm — no timers, no fail states, no penalties. Pause whenever; the game waits.
• Tactile — drag-to-fill, pinch-zoom on the big grids, satisfying chime on every solve.
• Rewarding — finishing a pack reveals the master pixel-art canvas, ready to share.

NO HARASSMENT — solo experience. No chat, no social pressure, no daily-login guilt beyond the optional streak.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED — your progress saves locally and syncs to an anonymous cloud profile so you don't lose anything if your phone breaks.

FAIR ADS — short ads only between completed picross sessions. Watch a rewarded ad any time for free energy, or buy Remove Ads once to skip the between-puzzle ads forever (the optional rewarded ads stay available).

ACCESSIBILITY
• Adjustable cell size in Settings (Small / Medium / Large)
• Sound, Music, and Haptics each independently toggleable
• Tap or drag — both work everywhere

Color by Nonogram is built by a small independent team for people who like the meditative grind of logic puzzles and the satisfaction of seeing something beautiful at the end. Thanks for playing.
