Pixelvale vs Stitchery

Pixelvale is a cozy nonogram game: solve elegant logic puzzles and bring a little valley to life, pixel by pixel. Every puzzle you solve reveals a hand-painted piece of pixel art—an apple tree, the bakery, a villager—and adds it to your world. So a living valley slowly grows out of pure logic puzzles, transforming across four seasons. RELAXED PUZZLING Nonograms (also known as picross or griddlers) are elegant logic puzzles: use the numbers along the edges to work out which cells must be filled. No luck, no time pressure—just you and a calm, satisfying flow of thinking. A WORLD THAT GROWS You don't come back to "Puzzle #47"—you return to your valley.

Stitchery is a cozy color nonogram (Picross) puzzle wrapped in the warm world of cross-stitch embroidery. Read the numbers, stitch the right cells, and watch a little pixel picture bloom into a finished embroidered piece — mounted in a wooden hoop, ready to admire. Pure logic, no guessing. Every puzzle has exactly one solution you can reason out step by step. Relaxing, satisfying, and just the right size for a coffee break. HOW TO PLAY • The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many stitches to make. • A gap between numbers (like "1 1") means a gap between stitches — one, skip, one. • Pick a thread color, then tap or swipe to stitch the cells you're sure about. • Colors matter: each clue is tinted like the thread, so multi-color pictures stay clear. • Mark cells you know stay empty, and tap the needle for a hint when you're stuck.
