About game
Solve logic puzzles by interpreting numerical clues to reveal hidden pixel art images. You analyze the numbers along the grid edges to determine exactly which cells to shade. Every grid follows a specific logical pattern, so you rely on your deduction skills rather than pure luck. Nonocat provides a clean interface where rows turn green once you place every block correctly. You choose from six distinct themes like myths or nature to match your current mood. These nonograms offer varying grid sizes ranging from small five-minute tasks to massive challenges that fill your entire evening. You can save your progress and return to finish complex designs whenever you have a spare moment. Racing against recordings of other people adds a competitive edge to your daily brain training session. Play Nonocat for free directly in your browser without any downloads or registration required.
How to play
The «How to play» button opens a short five-step tutorial. It is optional — you can start playing straight away.
The numbers by a row or column are the lengths of the unbroken groups of filled cells in it, with at least one empty cell between groups. "3 1" means three together, a gap, then one.
Tap a cell to fill it, tap again to erase. Swipe to fill a line. No crosses, nothing to switch.
A line turns green when it is exactly right. That is the only feedback, and it cannot be fooled. The game never corrects your mistakes and never takes lives away.
On big grids two fingers move and zoom; on a computer the mouse wheel and middle button do the same. One button fits the whole picture.
The bulb reveals a whole random line. Two hints per picture are free, then from your stock or for a short video. Three stars only without hints.
The first three levels of every theme are open from the start, the rest open for a short video — for good.
