NonoReno is a fully offline, procedurally generated Nonogram (Picross) puzzle game. Each puzzle you solve reveals a renovation-tool pixel icon — drill, paint roller, tape measure, tile, light bulb — collected into your gallery. Why this exists The author kept hitting "needs internet" while trying to kill time on flights. So he made an offline puzzler he'd actually open mid-flight, and shipped it. Features - Truly offline — works 100% in airplane mode - Procedurally generated puzzles, every one solvable by pure logic - Three sizes: 5x5 beginner / 10x10 standard / 15x15 challenge - Solve a puzzle, reveal a renovation tool, fill your gallery - Blueprint color scheme — easy on the eyes in dark cabins - Auto-resume mid-puzzle; timer and lives are optional - Pay once. No ads. No IAP. No accounts. No data collection. Buy once, play long.
