Nonogram Animals is a great nonogram/picross puzzle game that feels closer to a real-life puzzle book without the annoying tasks of coloring in the blocks. This game will not tell you when you make a mistake, but will help you with highlighting which numbers you have done and which not. A feature that I loved a lot is that is shows you how many blocks you’re coloring in when selecting multiple blocks. I don’t recommend this as your first monogram game but it is lovely if you already know how the puzzles work and are looking for a way to spend some time puzzling.

From the classic kind of puzzles like sudoku or crossword puzzles, the picross/nanogram puzzles are by far my favorite. I prefer them digitally as coloring those blocks always looks better than when I do it in a real-life puzzle book.

Nonogram Animals has no missable achievements as you will unlock them all by just completing all the puzzles.

I give Nonogram Animals 4 out of 5 stars.
