## What is Japanese Family Crest Nonogram?

■ Features
・ Operability with few erroneous operations
Nonogram has small squares, so it tends to be erroneously operated if it is a touch type.
In "Family Crest Nonogram", a "cross key" was adopted to reduce erroneous operations.

・ Smart "cross key"
If you keep pressing the cross key, the cursor will move continuously in that direction, but if you move to the end of the puzzle, it will stop. By pressing the same cross key again at that point, the cursor moves to the other side of the puzzle.

・ Smart "paint button" "x button"
You can paint squares continuously by pressing the cross key while pressing the "paint button", but the squares for which "x" has already been entered will not be overcoated. (The "x button" works in the same way)

・ Return one move (Undo)
Equipped with a "one-hand back button" that allows you to easily return even if you make a mistake.

・"Hint button"
In exchange for points, fill in one square with the correct content.

・ Automatic saving of puzzles
Since the data is saved automatically, you can restart the puzzle from the middle even if you quit the app in the middle.
(If the unfinished puzzle is terminated in the middle by the user's operation, the data will not be saved)

・Highlight the vertical and horizontal cursor positions
Highlight the vertical and horizontal axes to make it easier to see the cursor position.

・ End of filling vertical or horizontal squares
After filling, it will be fun to produce with graphics and sound.
Also, when the square is painted and filled, it will be automatically filled with X.

・ There are no multiple answers
All questions have been checked and there will be no multiple answers.

・ Do not use reductio ad absurdum
All problems can be solved reasonably.

・There are 150 types of family crests! 
We plan to add more in the future!

■ About points
"Points" are required to challenge a new family crest.
Points can be earned by the following methods.

・ Daily bonus
You can earn points every day you start the game.

・ Watching video ads
You can earn points by watching the video advertisement to the end.

・ Answer to the questionnaire (only if there is a questionnaire)
You can earn points by answering the questionnaire.

"Family Crest Nonogram" is free, but it is operated by advertising.
Thank you for your understanding.

■ About the family crest that appears
The family crest pattern that appears in the game is processed for nonogram, so it is not an accurate pattern.

■ What is nonogram?
It is a puzzle game that completes the illustration as if drawing with the numbers on the left and top of the puzzle as hints.
It is also called "Picross", and "Picture Logic".

■ How to play nonogram
The puzzle has hint numbers on the top and left.
The number above is a hint for the vertical column, and the number on the left is a hint for the horizontal row.

(1) In each row of vertical and horizontal, paint as many squares as the number in a row in black.
(2) For columns with two or more numbers, paint as many squares as the number of each number, and leave one or more squares between them.
(3) The order of the numbers is the order of the black squares in that column.

Paint according to these rules and it will be clear when the puzzle is completed.


Please play in your spare time.
