Turn number clues into colorful pixel art, one satisfying grid at a time. NonoCanvas is a relaxing nonogram puzzle game built around clear logic and picture reveals. Read the clues beside each row and column, fill the right squares, mark spaces that must stay empty, and uncover the hidden picture. HOW TO PLAY • Use the row and column numbers to work out which squares belong in the picture. • Paint confirmed squares and mark empty cells with an X. • Use a hint when you need help with the next move. • Complete the grid to reveal the pixel-art picture. PLAY AT YOUR LEVEL Learn the rules on easy puzzles, settle into medium boards, or take on hard grids when you want a deeper logic challenge. The clean controls keep the focus on each clue and decision. MAKE THE GRID YOURS Choose a brush color for your puzzle and watch the finished board become colorful art. Each completed nonogram gives your logic work a clear visual reward. A CALM PUZZLE BREAK The soft visual style, focused grid, and step-by-step solving loop make NonoCanvas easy to pick up whenever you want a thoughtful puzzle. Whether you know them as nonograms, picross, picture cross, griddlers, or hanjie, the goal is simple: follow the clues, solve the grid, and reveal the picture. Start with a clue and see what the grid becomes.
