Our take on Puppy Cross
Its defining structure is the pairing of nonogram solving with a garden that expands through puzzle rewards, while randomized grids add repeatable time trials.
What is Puppy Cross?
Puppy Cross combines nonogram puzzles with a dog-care and garden-customization game.
Solve over 100 hand-drawn grids, ranging from 5×5 to 20×20, to open new dogs, toys, and decorative objects. Four garden sections can be arranged with these unlocks. A Dalmatian mode adds randomized grids for ongoing play, with seeds that can be shared for timed races. The game includes 50 dog breeds, petting interactions, saved puzzles, automatic filling, two selection styles, and settings for progressive or ordered hint graying. Puzzles also include navigation controls and a multi-selection marker. The soundtrack is by Monplaisir.
