About the game
Pixel Picross is a collection of thirty nonogram puzzles, each hiding a small pixel picture: a heart, a cat, a rocket, an owl, a castle and more. The numbers beside each row and above each column tell you how many filled squares run together in that line, in order. Use logic to fill the right squares, cross out the ones that must stay empty, and when the last square is right, the grid bursts into colour and reveals the picture.
Puzzles grow from 5 by 5 to about 10 by 10, and solving them unlocks the next few. If you get stuck, tap any clue to ask whether that line is still possible with your current marks, at the cost of a few points. Every puzzle has exactly one solution and can be solved line by line without guessing.
