Read full description

Eight tiny worlds float in the sky. Each one has its own character, its own way of moving, its own colours and its own piece of music that plays only there. Pip hops up stone steps. Kessa runs a ring around the sun. Nori swims through shafts of light. Luma dances on a lantern-lit floor. Aero flies figure-eights through the clouds. Tolo spins inside a kaleidoscope. Sena grows and blooms in a petal garden. Odo climbs a tower that never ends. NOTHING TO WIN, NOTHING TO LOSE There is no score, no timer, no game over and no wrong move. Every character plays by itself, so a child can simply watch — the way you watch a mobile turn above a cot. Tapping anywhere makes the character break into a surprise move: a backflip, a barrel roll, a full bloom, a comet tail. Then it goes straight back to playing on its own. Nothing punishes a child who stops tapping. Nothing asks them to tap faster. MADE FOR SMALL HANDS - One tap is the whole interaction. Anywhere on the screen works. - No menus to get lost in, no text to read, no instructions to follow. - No timers, no streaks, no notifications asking a child to come back. - Works completely offline, on a plane or in a car. WHAT IS NOT IN IT - No advertising of any kind. - No analytics, no tracking, no third-party code. - No accounts, no sign-in, no email address. - Nothing is collected about your child. Nothing leaves the device. TWO WORLDS FREE, FOREVER Pip and Kessa are free and stay free — two complete worlds, with nothing removed and nothing asked for. If your child loves them, one single payment unlocks the other six worlds forever. There is no subscription, no coins, no chest to open and no second purchase. The unlock is shared with your family through Family Sharing, and restores on any device signed in to the same Apple Account. Locked worlds keep playing quietly behind a frosted veil, so you can see exactly what you would be buying before you buy it. SOUND Each world has its own generative music, so it never loops the same way twice. It can be muted with one tap, and the app is just as good in silence.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mythlings at none against Nonogram's shown. Nonogram's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
