Uncover hidden pictures one cell at a time in Nonogram, the beloved picture logic puzzle also known as Picross. Use number clues along the rows and columns to determine which cells to fill and which to leave empty, gradually revealing a delightful pixel art image. The numbers tell you how many consecutive filled cells appear in each line -- multiple numbers mean multiple groups separated by at least one empty cell. Start with rows and columns that have large numbers for guaranteed fills, then use overlapping possibilities and elimination to solve even the trickiest puzzles. With carefully designed puzzle packs ranging from quick 5x5 grids to sprawling challenges, Nonogram offers hours of satisfying logic puzzling. Mark cells as definitely empty with X markers to track your progress, and watch as each completed puzzle reveals a charming picture.

Pixel Wonders is a nature-observation sand-art game. Peel the pre-cut paper, pour generous layers of colored sand, brush loose sand across the tray, then tilt it to reveal the colors that stuck. Complete your card to discover the species, its historical natural-history plate and its story. There are no lost hearts or countdown pressure. The first color touching exposed glue sticks, even if it is wrong; later colors cannot replace it. Brushing and tilting only move loose sand. Use the sponge to wash all sand out of one peeled region and expose the glue again. Choose Done when you are ready; regions that still need work will be identified then. Each completed discovery opens a closer look at the species: key field marks, habitat and behavior notes, ecological context, and source-backed artwork. Build a personal field collection through seven nature worlds, from birds and forest animals to ocean life, night creatures, and tiny invertebrates. Explore your way: - Check the reference whenever you like: uncover the small thumbnail or use the eye button to toggle the large view. - Earn Keen Eye by completing an attempt without looking at either reference. Earn True Color by completing a card with no region exceeding the wrong-color sticking tolerance at any point during the entire attempt. A few stray grains within tolerance are fine. The sponge cannot restore lost eligibility; restarting the card begins a new attempt. - Keep your own completed sand art in your collection and flip between your artwork and the historical plate. Finishing a replay replaces the saved artwork. - Collect stamps, discoveries and in-game achievements, without a puzzle gate. - Use VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, larger touch targets, color-vision support, and optional reduced motion or flashing. The launch edition has 70 discoveries across seven nature worlds. Explore 35 as part of the free game. One optional purchase unlocks the other 35—five more in every world. No subscriptions, consumables, random rewards, or countdown discounts. Your game progress, collection, settings, and in-game achievements stay on your device. If you sign in to Game Center, Pixel Wonders uploads selected achievements only: 19 selected achievements, not cloud saves or restoration of your cards, artwork or progress.

On price and device support there is nothing between them.
