Our take on Nonozle
The defining mechanic is its conversion of row-and-column number clues into pixel-art images, with each filled or empty cell narrowing the solution one step at a time.
What is Nonozle?
Nonozle is a nonogram puzzle game in which number clues indicate groups of filled squares across each row and column.
Players use those clues to determine which cells are filled or left blank, gradually revealing a pixel-art image. The game includes 200 handmade puzzles ranging from 5 by 5 to 25 by 25, plus 100 abstract puzzles. Puzzles can be completed in any order, or generated randomly for ongoing play. Unlimited undo and redo, optional assistance, tutorials, solution examples, automatic progress saving, and support for mouse, keyboard, and controller input are included. Players can also create and share puzzles through Steam Workshop, the clipboard, and file exporting.
