r/nonograms

Got stuck early on

I can't stand playing on Walfie anymore (no mouse controls).
I see on YouTube someone playing on this with mouse control. What app is it? Or does anyone recommend anything else and why?

Pet Cross is a cozy nonogram that celebrates pets of all kinds! This is the 2nd playtest and features all new puzzles, and even one based on a pet from this community.

Hey everyone, I’m the solo developer behind Quiet Grids.

I’ve been working on this game for several months now. It started as a small nonogram project, but I kept finding things that didn’t feel right.

I rebuilt the onboarding, reworked the board for smaller phones, redesigned the Daily system, rewrote a lot of the text, changed the completion experience, and went back through the puzzles again and again. I honestly don’t know how many times I told myself it was “finished” before opening the project and polishing another part of it.

I wanted Quiet Grids to feel less like a level factory and more like a small quiet ritual.

When a puzzle is completed, the hidden picture receives its colours and a short line appears beside it. For example, the Snail puzzle ends with:

“It took the long way and still arrived.”

I wanted the sentence to feel like part of the reveal rather than just displaying “Level Complete.”

The game currently includes:

• 393 puzzles in total, with 5×5, 10×10 and 15×15 grids (And I am adding more and more!)
• 245 Library puzzles across five themes
• 100 Daily puzzles
• A full Daily calendar where older days can still be completed
• Monthly Lights earned through quiet days, without punishing missed dates
• Three Quiet Stories with 48 puzzle memories
• Story artwork that gradually appears as memories are completed
• A beginner Quiet Path that introduces the game through real puzzles
• Coloured puzzle reveals and a short poetic line after each completion
• Marks that record small milestones without loud achievement popups
• Offline play with progress stored on the device
• No account and no analytics
• An app size just under 6 MB

It is Android-only at the moment.

I know it is a small nonogram game, but I’ve put much more of myself into it than I expected when I started. I’ve also looked at it for so long that I’m probably no longer the right person to judge what is clear, confusing or genuinely enjoyable.

I would really appreciate honest feedback, especially about:

• whether the board and controls feel comfortable
• whether the coloured reveal feels satisfying
• whether the poetic writing adds something or feels unnecessary
• whether Quiet Stories makes sense inside a nonogram game
• whether the Home, Daily and Library structure is easy to understand
• anything that feels slow, confusing, too dark or overdesigned

Please don’t feel that you need to be overly kind. Thoughtful criticism would genuinely help me improve it.

Thank you to anyone who gives it a try. Even one honest comment helps.

This one's keeping me busy for over an hour now and I feel I'm out of reliable options. I might just flip the pages and look at the solution, but I want to know if there is anything I'm missing or if there are too many variables to solve this.

Hi everyone!

I posted here a while back when I first released my game and I wanted to share the newer version now that I’ve had time to polish it.

It’s not exactly a nonogram, but it uses similar row/column clue deduction logic. Instead of revealing a picture, you use the clues to build out a winding hedgemaze.

There are 2,000+ puzzles across four difficulty levels, daily challenges, leaderboards, and no ads or energy timer shenanigans.

What should I do now?

Stuck on this for a long time.

Help, what do I even start with here, I'm so confused

I don't want to trial and error it, but i can't seem to spot other options
