Herugolf is puzzle game. The rule is simple. 1. Advance the golf balls to the holes using a series of strokes. 2. The number in a ball indicates the length of the first stroke; any subsequent stroke must be 1 less in length than the preceding stroke. 3. A stroke moves the ball horizontally or vertically; the direction may change at every stop. 4. A stroke cannot stop in a water; a cell can be traversed at most once; i.e. strokes cannot cross or overlay.

A quieter kind of nonogram โ€” where every puzzle you solve becomes a constellation in a night sky that is entirely your own. Noctagram is a picture-logic puzzle game (nonogram / picross / griddler) wrapped in a calm, star-lit world. Read the number clues, fill the grid row by row โ€” but here the finished picture doesn't just vanish. It ignites. A single line traces through your solved cells, a constellation takes shape, and you name it and seal it into your sky forever. Solve enough, and the darkness fills with stars only you have lit. โ€” WHY NOCTAGRAM IS DIFFERENT โ€” A sky you build, not a gallery you clear. Most nonogram games hand you a pixel picture and move on. Here, each solution is a named constellation added to one living, growing night sky. Your progress isn't a percentage โ€” it's a map of light. 248 constellations, every one named by hand. No random shapes. Each puzzle was designed and christened in the style of a real star chart โ€” unique, quietly poetic, waiting in the dark for you. Made to be calm. No timers. No lives. No pressure. Just clean logic, soft light, and a gentle soundscape. Play a single grid to unwind, or lose an hour among the stars. โ€” HOW IT PLAYS โ€” โ€ข Classic nonogram rules โ€” deduce the picture from the number clues. โ€ข Puzzles from small and cozy to large and deep (5ร—5 up to 20ร—20). โ€ข A warm coral fill and a cool marking cross โ€” easy on the eyes, clear at a glance. โ€ข A hand-crafted "sealing" ceremony every time you complete a puzzle. โ€ข Auto-save and one-tap continue โ€” pick up exactly where you left off. Fill the grid. Light the stars. Name your sky. Noctagram โ€” picross beneath the night.
