Still Life vs Pixel Wonders

Fill the squares. Find the picture. Still Life is a nonogram — a logic puzzle where numbers around the edge of a grid tell you which squares to fill. Work out which ones, and a picture appears. NO GUESSING. EVER. Every puzzle here is checked by machine before it ships, and checked again by the app every time it opens, to be certain it has exactly one solution and that solution can be reached by pure logic. Anything that fails is thrown away rather than patched. You are never asked to guess and hope. If you are stuck, it means there is a deduction somewhere you have not spotted yet — and there always is one. THE MOMENT THE PICTURE APPEARS The grid is deliberately quiet: black ink on warm paper, no clutter, nothing flashing for your attention. All of that restraint is in service of one moment — the grid dissolving and leaving the picture behind. Finished pictures are printed to your album, in colour. OVER 200 LEVELS, IN ORDER Levels are ordered by how long they actually take rather than by grid size, so the difficulty climbs steadily from a five-by-five you will solve in under a minute to twenty-by-twenty boards that take a while. One at a time, in order. A PUZZLE A DAY One daily puzzle, the same one for everybody, always available even if you are stuck on your current level. THREE HEARTS Fill a square that is not part of the picture and it costs a heart. The square is never filled in, so the board in front of you is always correct — nothing wrong ever ends up on it. Three mistakes and the board restarts with a clean grid. WHAT IS NOT IN HERE No adverts. No timers. No lives that refill on a clock. No coins, gems or currency of any kind. No account, no sign-in, and nothing to buy. It works completely offline, because every puzzle is already in the app. Optional, anonymous usage statistics help us see which puzzles work. You are asked once, you can say no, and you can change your mind in Settings at any time.

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.
