Numbers on the edges. Logic in your head. Pixel art waiting to be revealed. Pixel Cross is a nonogram / picross puzzle game where every row and column holds a clue. Decode the numbers, fill the right cells, and watch a crisp pixel-art image appear. No guessing — pure deduction. WHAT YOU GET • 30 hand-crafted puzzles — animals, nature, symbols, transport • Two grid sizes: 5×5 warm-ups and 10×10 proper challenges • Long-press to mark cells and track your thinking • Mistake counter to keep you honest (reset anytime with an optional ad) • Soft pastel palette — easy on the eyes, zero visual clutter • Fully offline — no Wi-Fi required HOW IT WORKS Each number tells you how many consecutive filled cells exist in that row or column. If a row shows "3 1", there's a run of 3 filled cells, a gap, then 1 more. Cross-reference rows and columns until the picture emerges. That's it — no luck, all logic. PERFECT FOR • Commutes, waiting rooms, or winding down before sleep • Classic picross fans who want pixel-art payoff • Brain-training puzzle lovers of any age More puzzles on the way. Start small, go deep.
