An empty grid is only the beginning. Solve a nonogram, choose the next stop on a branching map, and collect odd little items that bend the rules before the boss at the end of the world. Every run gives you a new route—and a new set of clever decisions. Nononaut mixes picture logic with a light roguelike adventure. Each generated puzzle has one solution. What happens between grids is up to you: visit shops, open treasures, face surprises at events, or accept a curse to reach the boss. Items can protect your hearts, reveal clues, change rewards, or make the next puzzle delightfully awkward. WHAT AWAITS • Freshly generated nonograms, each with a single solution • Branching maps full of shops, treasures, events, and bosses • Dozens of items and permanent unlocks • A hands-on tutorial for first-time solvers • Automatic saves when you need to step away • Daily pencils earned at no cost Prefer puzzles without the expedition? Nononaut Unlimited unlocks Zen Mode and seeded runs, and removes pencil limits. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Purchases are optional, and you can restore or manage them in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
