Pic-a-Pix: Nonogram Color

July 20, 2024

More About Pic-a-Pix: Nonogram Color

Paint squares as you solve the puzzle and discover a beautiful pixel-art picture! Each puzzle consists of a blank grid with clues on the left of every row and on the top of every column. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting blocks in each row and column so their length and sequence corresponds to the clues.
Pic-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Japanese invention offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game enables zooming the entire puzzle, or just the grid area while keeping the clue-panes locked. Other features include a unique fingertip cursor for playing large puzzles with ease and precision, and a show/hide/lock rulers option helping focus on one row and column at a time.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Pic-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

I love solving these puzzles and I can do this for hours. I like that there are so many different packs to download, especially the color ones. Prices are a big high but for me it feels worth it. I just wish there were more colors used for at least some puzzles and I'd REALLY like to be able to download the tablet size ones on my phone...

artificial restriction allowing you to only play puzzles of a limited size on a phone is disappointing and ruins what could otherwise be a very engaging puzzle game

Whats happened since the new look a few days ago ?? Alot of puzzles are missing a colour and abit frustrating as I've paid for them!! .. its all been brilliant up to a few days ago when there have been changes made ?

Best nonogram puzzle game out there. No Ads. Free weekly puzzles. Starter sets of black and white, and colour puzzles. The finished puzzles are exactly how you have solved them. You can replay puzzles though I prefer to purchase new ones. The prices for each puzzle pack are fair and there are lots of puzzle packs to choose from. I'm very happy to support the developers in this way.

Conceptis always have the cleanest and most intuitive controls of any puzzle apps I have played, and are constantly improving and updating those controls. The starting free puzzles give you enough to enjoy as a short play app, with the additonal free puzzle every Friday keep it installed on your phone for short play here or there. My only criticism would be that the additional puzzle packages are a little pricy for what you get, and I'd certainly buy more of them if they were cheaper

3 years later and they still refuse to improve the mobile experience. you have to tap each square to color it (they must have never heard of multi touch, as dragging with just one finger moves the screen) and to mark as blank you have to tap twice. and these are just the basics. really unacceptable for a game that charges for each puzzle, and not the full game.

Very nice game. Keeps my brain active. Zooming in, locking the numbers and dragging them smaller, means the blocks are big enough to get a finger tap into the right blocks. I am about to try to get it on PC with an android emulator, because the game with 20 blocks might be a bit small for my phone screen. I hope it works. I am so enjoying the challenges.

So good! And having no ads is such a wonderful thing. It's easy to fat finger on phone screens though. I wish there was a way to buy every pack at once, I'd do it then!

I've always loved conceptis puzzles. This last update to pic-a-pix is horrid. I was doing a puzzle today and one of the colors in the puzzle wasnt showing up. I took a pic and would be glad to send it if i knew where. Please fix this!

can't drag cursor Edit: I can't move it from place to place, specifically if it's a 5x5 or 5x10. 10x10 seemed to work fine but I had to tap each box for 5x5 and 5x10

Love this app. But I would like more pack organizing options. Be able to sort by BW vs color puzzles and show all puzzles purchased of a certain size or difficulty. The more packs I purchase, the harder it is to find the type of puzzle I'm in the mood for. I would also love if my online/website account could be linked to the app so pack purchases could be shared across Apple and Android devices (don't want to buy packs twice just to play on Android phone and iPad)

I love nonograms and while the controls take a bit of getting used to, this game is great. Sadly I'm almost finished with the free puzzles and can't afford to buy the packs. Love that it's ad free but almost wish there was an option to buy individual puzzles with ads. I would watch many lol

Been a fan of Conceptis puzzles, the customer support is responsive and quick. With no Ads or limits and you get a free puzzle each week which is nice and the indicators dont give extra hints(its a good thing). The reason for the 3 stars is some of the BW are not solveable logically(for example 10,21, 20 of BW starters). Even the free BW very easy maps are impossible to solve. The generator checker needs to be fixed, BW is in a broken state.

I used to love the Conceptis website. When they started charging money for the puzzles, I enjoyed that they still offered one puzzle of each type for free each week, and I was glad to purchase credits to buy more puzzles. After buying the credits, I could choose which specific puzzles I wanted to buy. This app, however, gives you a few "ultra easy" puzzles, and then you have to purchase packs of puzzles, sight unseen. I am so disappointed.

Nice and simple. You get a pretty good number of puzzles free, and then if you want additional puzzles, you buy the ones you want. No pop up ads. No energy running out or other app tricks to get you to spend money. Just a straightforward puzzle game. The art is also pretty impressive, given the small number of blocks they're working with.

Well designed and no ads, but EXPENSIVE. 42 free puzzles are included, as well as a weekly free puzzle, but you could spend a significant amount of money purchasing any of the 300 or so available puzzle packs, each with only 20 puzzles, some costing over 5 bucks. Purchasing all the packs will cost you well over $1000. IMO, there are better options, even with ads. Devoloper: Please put at least 50 puzzles in the puzzle packs. Make them worthwhile to buy.

I love this game and all the Conceptus games. The puzzles are challenging and they have levels which allows you to learn how to do them as they get harder. They give you many free puzzles on each app and then weekly add another free one. There are no ads, which is awesome. I haven't tried buying any of their puzzle packs yet, but I am thinking about doing that in the future. I am have several of their apps, and they are my favorite. Never disappoint.

This is my favorite type of puzzle, no matter what platform. But for a digital version, I prefer conceptis. These are all high quality and the app itself is very user friendly. But for me, the customer service by itself is worth it. Especially Dave, who is knowledgable, patient, quick to respond, & committed to successful resolutions. Thanks again!!!

I was about to email Conceptis about a bug I started experiencing last night when I saw there was a new update released today. Thank you, Conceptis, for consistently maintaining high quality and stability in all of your games. Pic-a-Pix is packed with features that provide a smooth and intuitive interface so I can focus on puzzle solving. The extra puzzle sets are priced reasonably and well worth the cost. I tried several nonogram apps before I found this one and this is by far the best.

This default controls might take a little getting used to, but the fact that you don't have to click directly on the squares means you can actually see what you're doing and you don't need to zoom because of it! The controls are perfect and work really well after a puzzle or two of warming up to them. :) If you absolutely hate it, you can change to a direct tap to fill control scheme, but I don't recommend doing that. edit: the new update makes the interface cleaner and more effective! Love it!
