## What is Japanese mosaic JDraw?

Japanese Mosaic is a clue-linking puzzle based on a grid with a pixel-art picture hidden inside. Using logic alone, the solver determines which squares are painted and which should remain empty until the hidden picture is completely exposed. Japanese Mosaic Puzzle also known as “Japanese Painting”, “Fill-a-Pix”, "Mosaic”, "Mosaik”, "Nurie Puzzle", "Nampre Puzzle". 
Puzzle look like a grid with numbers scattered in various places. Each number (clue) shows how many squares around clue, (including square with clue) should be fill in. Therefore, used clues are in the range from 0 to 9 inclusive. 
According to the principle solutions, Japanese Mosaic is very similar to the popular game "Minesweeper".

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2025-01-08*

Маленькие не решаемые вообще. Проще сразу решать размером 80/80. Долго, но интересно и реально.

### 4/5 — Now Easier Than Before!

*2022-02-10*

This is not the first time I downloaded J Draw, a game that uses numbers 0 to 9 around the game board, but I now know it better!

From what I do understand from similar versions,
the color of the number can become grey for a final solution, green for a correct guess, but red for a wrong guess.   When you solve the puzzle, the numbers will disappear.  But a small broom allows you to do the same picture and as a result, the original numbers are back!  They are yours to keep!  More puzzles please anytime!

### 4/5 — Good but kinda annoying.

*2021-08-23*

It’s really fun figuring out the pictures but when there’s a mistake it doesn’t tell you exactly where the mistake is. It only tells you which number is wrong but not the box itself which makes it difficult to fix the mistake because sometimes you have to restart completely.
I think it would be improved immensely if on top of the automatic hint system where it says which number doesn’t have the right number of blocks filled in there was a hint button to tell you exactly which squares were wrong.
Other than that this game is amazing and I’ll definitely keep playing until I can’t complete puzzles anymore.

### 2/5 — Optimistic but disappointed

*2021-06-22*

I was so excited to find another app for these type of puzzles, but I soon became disappointed. There’s no way to check your mistakes. You either get the puzzle right or you end up restarting the whole puzzle because it’s so hard to figure out where you went wrong. Also, the smaller puzzles that are supposed to fit your screen aren’t adjustable and they run into the edges of your screen so you can’t see the numbers or hardly click on them. I also prefer the way of multiple clicks to fill in a space (1 click is filled in, 2 clicks is an “x”, and 3 clicks clears it again. Having to select a different button at the bottom for each makes it more confusing.

### 4/5 — It’s really nice! Lots of puzzles.

*2021-04-24*

Woah, when did this app get an update? I uninstalled it a couple months ago because it was just a bit too difficult (I’d gotten stuck on a lot of the puzzles) and it seemed sort of abandoned, but today I’m looking through my old downloads and see the app icon looks a bit different. There’s hints now! It’s not the best system of hints I’ve seen (it’ll tell you if you have enough shaded-in pixels around a number, too many shaded-in pixels, or too many crossed-out pixels, but not if you have enough crossed-out pixels around a number) but it still works just fine and is definitely helpful.
This app has LOADS of puzzles, so it’s really good if you’re the kind of person who adores this kind of puzzle and, just maybe, has exhausted a lot of similar apps, lol.

### 3/5 — Fun until you get stuck

*2021-04-12*

The puzzles are fun but there’s no hints if you get stuck or if you make a mistake and realize at the end you have to start completely over which is annoying and makes you not want to play since you can’t tell where your original mistake was. It does show red when you do too many or too few squares but that doesn’t help you solve issues you made a long time before you have the issue that shows as red. But besides that it’s a fun game and I love that there are so many puzzles it will take a long time to complete them all. I would just love to see an update with a button to reveal mistakes/hints.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение!

*2021-04-11*

Спасибо огромное, я с вами уже много лет и приложение неизменно со мной на всех устройствах. Очень приятно порадовало обновление, новые задания.

Обновлённое расположение кнопок по началу неудобно, но быстро можно привыкнуть. Одна просьба, поднимите, пожалуйста, кнопки из правого нижнего угла. На xr уходит в рамку, не всегда сразу удаётся нажать кнопку рисования, а центральные кнопки попадают под «полосочку» «домой».

### 4/5 — Кнопки

*2021-04-09*

После обновления кнопки поменяли местами, 2 главные кнопки поставили в конец, это очень неудобно. Пожалуйста, верните их в прежний порядок!!!

### 5/5 — Just a little bug

*2021-03-02*

I can’t listen to music while playing this game and I’d really like to be able to.

### 5/5 — Music is turned off

*2021-02-18*

The app turns off the music on background. Could you please fix it?
