Nonograms, also known as pic-a-pix, started appearing in Japanese puzzle magazines. Non Ishida published three picture grid puzzles in 1988 in Japan under the name of "Window Art Puzzles". Subsequently in 1990, James Dalgety in the UK invented the name Nonograms after Non Ishida, and The Sunday Telegraph started publishing them on a weekly basis.
In japanese nonograms the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive groups. To solve Japanese nonogram, one needs to determine which squares will be filled and which will be empty.
These nonograms are often black and white, describing a binary image, but they can also be colored. If colored, the number clues are also colored to indicate the color of the squares. In such crossword two differently colored numbers may have a space in between them. For example, a black four followed by a red two could mean four black boxes, some empty spaces, and two red boxes, or it could simply mean four black boxes followed immediately by two red ones.
Hanjie has no theoretical limit on size, and is not restricted to square layouts.
Griddlers were implemented by 1995 on hand held electronic toys in Japan. They were released with name Picross - Picture Crossword.
Nice relaxing puzzle game. Last update nullified some progress and finished puzzles, that's a bit frustrating. Sync didn't help too. I'm not too mad though, as it's more about process than result. Update: developer responded, that they just relocated some puzzles and no progress is lost. But it's not entirely true - at least my current puzzle in progress was cleared.
My last review was in 2012. I have been playing this since before that. It updated today, and I couldn't be happier. This game has been installed on every phone I've had for the last decade. Well worth the price I paid for it.
I purchased this game to unlock all levels along with unlimited hints but it's not restoring previous purchase on my new device when I click the "restore" button.
Enjoy the game, however, the latest update reset roughly half of the completed puzzles. Frustrating to have to go back and redo them.
I love this game and I play it almost every day (for a few years), BUT, there are too many flowers!!!!!! I feel like I'm doing the same puzzle over and over because every other puzzle is a flower!! Give me more variety!!! Obviously I'm exaggerating a little, but there are too many repeat pictures.
I've had this game for a while and I'm still enjoying it a lot. I like that the ads don't interrupt the gameplay, there's no annoying banner at the bottom and the levels are fun and challenging. You also don't lose lives if you accidentally press on the wrong field. You can either pay to unlock levels or watch an ad to unlock the level of your choice (you can see how many fields there are), and I love that there are really large levels instead of just 20x20 like some other similar games.
I enjoy this game and I was 12 puzzles away from finishing the entire app when you had to go and restructure it. How frustrating!!
