Color By Nonogram

Features
Read full description

Color by Nonogram is two puzzles in one. First, solve a nonogram — a calming grid logic puzzle where the numbers around the edge tell you which cells to fill. Each one reveals a piece of a hidden pixel-art canvas. Solve all 84 nonograms in a puzzle and the canvas comes alive: a color-by-number reveal where you paint the artwork stroke by stroke. WHAT'S INSIDE • 20 themed packs (Animals, Artwork, Boats, Buildings, Cars, Fantasy, Food, Nature, Planes, Space) — the first pack is free. • 5 puzzles per pack. 84 nonograms per puzzle. Sizes from 5×5 (a quick break) to 20×20 (an evening of flow). • A new Daily Mini every day with a streak you can build at your own pace. • 4 unlockable color palettes (Pastel, Vintage, Neon, Monochrome Blue) — express the same artwork differently. • Free-fill mode: re-color any solved artwork without the number constraints. Save or share what you make. HOW IT FEELS • Calm — no timers, no fail states, no penalties. Pause whenever; the game waits. • Tactile — drag-to-fill, pinch-zoom on the big grids, satisfying chime on every solve. • Rewarding — finishing a pack reveals the master pixel-art canvas, ready to share. NO HARASSMENT — solo experience. No chat, no social pressure, no daily-login guilt beyond the optional streak. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED — your progress saves locally and syncs to an anonymous cloud profile so you don't lose anything if your phone breaks. FAIR ADS — short ads only between completed picross sessions. Watch a rewarded ad any time for free energy, or buy Remove Ads once to skip the between-puzzle ads forever (the optional rewarded ads stay available). ACCESSIBILITY • Adjustable cell size in Settings (Small / Medium / Large) • Sound, Music, and Haptics each independently toggleable • Tap or drag — both work everywhere — Color by Nonogram is built by a small independent team for people who like the meditative grind of logic puzzles and the satisfaction of seeing something beautiful at the end. Thanks for playing.
