## What is Picto Potions?

Explore a fantasy world!
Venture out from the potion shop to nearby areas containing themed puzzles. There's plenty of research to be done while solving. Completing research tasks rewards you with ingredients for new potions!

Complete the catalogue of potions!
Once you collect enough ingredients by solving puzzles, you'll be able to study new potion formulas. Make this the best potion shop around by filling out the potion catalogue!

Use potions to assist you in your puzzle-solving adventure!
Potions come in a range of types with varying effects, from solving parts of the puzzle, highlighting solvable rows/columns or slowing/stopping time.

Design your own shop!
You've been given free rein to design the shop as you please. Purchase furniture and decorations to attract customers.

Customers!
Once the shop is up and running, customers will start arriving and ask you to solve puzzles for them.

Designed for complete beginners, and nonogram pros alike
- New players can enjoy the built-in tutorial and explanations for nonogram-solving techniques. You don't need to know anything about nonogram puzzles to start playing!
- Already know the ropes? Experienced players can skip the basic tutorial and dive right into the various input options and modes to suit their playstyle.
- Up for a challenge? You can choose to play puzzles with a timer and take on timed challenges. If that's not your style, relax without the added pressure and play at your own pace with no timer or timed challenges.
- Puzzles range from 5x5 to 25x25 in size and are unlocked in a branching manner, so you can choose to leave harder puzzles and come back to them when you're ready!

Other features
- Puzzle zooming/panning for larger puzzles.
- Undo/Redo while solving.
- Auto-saves and save and quit support while puzzle solving, so you can leave and come back to any puzzle at any time.
