Grrrreeeaat!
This is one of the best nonogram games I’ve played, especially for free. With around 535 puzzles total of various sizes split across ten unique themes based off of Konami’s ips, you will never know what the end result will be! After the first ~400 or so(or the first 100%) you unlock the Expert Mode and Expert Mode exclusive puzzles that have to be solved without using the X tool, for a total of 200% completion being possible! The only possible negative is that to try a puzzle for the first time, you have to get one randomly chosen, which is actually something I like and you can choose to redo specific puzzle to try to get faster times. I managed to get 00:02 on the Heart in the Castlevania Theme!

Remove ads purchase option, please
This would be a perfect picross game, out of every single picross game I've tried on the app store this has been the only one where the controls aren't frustrating, were it not for one thing - ads. Please let me spend money to get rid of the ads.
Ads
Game has banner ads, with no way to remove them.

Great puzzles
Scratches that Picross itch
ホント最悪
80%くらいまでコンプリート埋めてたのに突然STOPの表示が出てパズルができなくなりました。 他の方のレビューに対するKONAMIの対応を参考にアプリをインストールし直したらデータが全部飛びました。 クラウドに保管とかしとけよ
Almost Perfect
This is an excellent Nonograms game; the puzzles range from very easy to exceptionally hard, with a good difficulty curve that makes me feel like I learned a lot about how to solve these kinds of puzzles. The one annoying thing is that the big multi-part puzzles are time gated. I was hoping that’d change when I completed all the normal puzzles, but it didn’t, which means I have to remember to come back to it every few hours if I want to beat it.
Glitch caused puzzle to zoom way out
I am 75% of the way through the collection, and all of a sudden the whole puzzle got super tiny! Now, every level is only about an inch squared. it happened in the middle of a level, and now all puzzles are unplayable. Is there a fix? how do I go back??
Still getting updated, but y’all still hinder progress
I’ve beaten this game before and the one thing I hate so much about this is y’all never made a patch to instantly play the boss puzzles after completing all the regular & mid boss ones. So, now I have to wait 3 hours just to complete the next one, which makes me want to stop playing. Please fix this!
Free, Simple & Fun
It’s a bunch of simple Konami-themed Picross puzzles, not a ton and you can finish in a few hours but yes, it’s completely free. No IAP and- excluding those for other Konami games, no ads. This is what a good F2P game should be
Stupid game
Finally I completed 200% and the stupid advertisement block the congratulation scene and it never show again!
Great but missing one thing
Great picross game. The sprites from beloved games is a good selling point. But a true sell could be made by being able to remove ads. Free is great but if I like a game I’d prefer to chunk down a couple bucks to not be hounded about the latest soccer game I could care less about.
Forced ads and bad design.
Ads pop up all the time, on top of being a constant banner. I get the game is free but give me the option to pay once and remove the ads once and for all. Also the timer for boss level doesn’t bring anything to the game and makes it more slow and tedious than it should be. Bad and lazy app design overall.
ok wait actually
i wrote a review before and that one mentioned the wait for boss puzzles being annoying, especially once you've finished the normal puzzles (its been a month and im STILL trying to finish the boss puzzles). well i just realized something, which is that when you place X's on a square, it really should prevent the square from being filled in. for example, on a 15x15 grid, a column is listed as 3 3 3 3. thats 3 filled, 1 space, repeating til that final 3. if you place the X's where they belong, and draw a line to fill the squares, the squares filled should ONLY be the 3 3 3 3, since the others were X'd out. however if you do that in THIS app, it just makes a line of 15 filled squares. most other picross games/apps have this feature, at least the good ones do. the more i play this app the worse i feel about it, and thats only being dragged out by the way the boss puzzles work.
NO ADS
The only ads are banner pop-ups for the developers own games when you go to the Home Screen. There are no video ads to watch EVER. I have completed 1/3rd of the puzzles and still no video ads. !!!!!! A welcome reprieve!! In addition, you can zoom in on the squares so you don’t mess up. In addition, you can mess up as much as you like without being penalized. The Boss puzzles every 3 hours are a new twist that is kinda fun. :). If you like nonograms, you MUST try this app.
親切すぎる！
バツは、自分でつけたい！ 勝手にバツつくのがやー！
Awesome
Love this so much. The art is great and I love that it’s free with no annoying in-app purchase options. I’m almost at 50% and not looking forward to completing my collection. Please add more puzzles!!!
Obtrusive ads
Used to be a fun little nonogram puzzle game, but is now ruined by obnoxious full-screen ad pop-ups whenever a puzzle is completed. No option to pay to permanently remove them, either. Frustrating.
Too many adds
If you could pay to remove the adds or just buy the game, I'd give it 5/5
Apparently this game was designed by Gen Suzuki.
I liked his game Ninja Five-0. This is not nearly as complex as that game, but I’m still playing. So that has to count for something. I hope Gen Suzuki is doing well.
Unskippable tutorial
Game has an unskippable tutorial because Konami assumes you're an idiot that has never completed a nonogram before.
Great but boss timer hurts it
This is a great pic Ross game,but I’m stuck at 75% because the timer on the “boss” puzzles only lets you play one every three hours. Apparently the remaining 25% of puzzles are all boss puzzles. :(. It was fun before that though.
Sadness
I loved playing the game and I enjoy everything about it. But now I’ve finished all of the normal puzzles and I have to wait 3 hours to play each individual puzzle now, basically making the game unplayable which is sad because I’ve already put a lot of time into it. I wouldn’t have a problem if you could pay to remove the timer, but sadly it’s not that way. I hope they fix this because I thought I had found the best picross game. Edit: expert mode fixes this which is nice but you have to fully beat the game to unlock that
Great game but...
I would gladly pay a few dollars to get rid of the annoying ad that pops up after you complete a puzzle which seems to be timed to appear right before I go to tap on the next puzzle. I don’t want to play your soccer game!
A Nice Distraction
Fun way to spend some time when you should be working.
App has been updated to be rife with ads
All the positive reviews this got was by being an excellent, unobtrusive app. This is no longer the case. They have updated it twice to put ads all over the screen. It now even has full screen ads. Old versions refuse to run as they check the net to see there are newer versions. A great app now laid low. Skip it.
Pretty good, boss are a bit of a wait
I got the app on August 31 last year and am currently waiting to do my final puzzle, I love that there are zero ads and how you can have three puzzles at once. I do think that 3 hours for the boss is a bit much but other wise this is a perfect app.
Was my favorite app until last update
This was easily a 5 star app until the last update. Unfortunately, ever since that update, the game will not run if Apple’s Music app is also running. The last update also introduced ads. This game has been ad free for a few years without charging a cent, so I’m not against them adding in ads, especially since the ads are only for Konami’s other games and they are not visible when actually solving a puzzle. The only part I dislike is the near-full screen ads that you have to close in order to do anything on the main screen.
Waiting Game
Just cleared all untimed puzzles and still left with 90 puzzles considered “boss” puzzles. With something that I’d like to finish quickly now will be drawn out months since I can complete around four of those a day due to the timer. Only downfall for a great picross game.
Pure Game
I appreciate so much that there are no ads, or “coins” to buy. It’s just a game. And it works really well at that.
DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS YOU WANT ADS
Latest update ads a permanent banner add at the bottom of the title screen. Also ads a full screen pop up ad every time you finish a puzzle. Crashes on iPad unless you do a fresh reboot.
Fun game, but new update is causing issues.
I was playing and when I got sent to the main menu, I saw that there was a new update, so I downloaded it. Since I downloaded the update, my game never boots properly and gets stuck after the loading screen before flashing a red screen and crashing.
it WAS great
probably one of my favorite games, up until the most recent update and now it’s nothing but ads, large banner ad on the bottom and every time you complete a puzzle a giant one pops up taking up the entire screen advertising one of their other titles. every. single. time.
Not bad.
I too am frustrated by having to wait for the boss puzzles. No option to pay or watch ads to get them, either, so what’s the point in making us wait? The last update mentioned a new mode that could be unlocked, and I have yet to find this or understand what they are talking about. I’m about 80% complete, with only boss puzzles left, so it must be unlocked by now, correct?
Great Nonogram Game
I’m a big fan of nonogram/picross type games and this one is no exception. The puzzles and art are nice and it controls fine. The only real problems I have are mostly with me, those being there’s no way to choose which theme or size of puzzle you’re doing and I’ve finished all basic puzzles so all I have left to do are the boss ones which take three hours to refresh. Still, totally recommend.
Ad ridden mess
Great game ruined by marketing greed. I paid money for this app but the latest update filled the app with ads.
Great Longevity! Annoying quirks
I’ve been playing this game for a long time now. Really enjoy it. Endlessly frustrating that on start up it stops any music or audio previously playing.
Where’s the sound?
In the greed to advertise the other games in the latest update, the sound is gone...
Could have been great.
Music is great. Aesthetics are great. Ads are fine, although I wish I could pay to turn them off. But why is the puzzle so tiny?! There’s so much unused space around the puzzle, which is shrunken into the lower right. No idea what they were thinking. And they know it’s too small, because they allow you to zoom in on larger puzzles. Even then, though, you’re just zooming in on a section of the puzzle—in what universe is that helpful for a nonogram?! What a head-scratcher, this one.
Super simple Super fun
One of the best picross apps. Controls are simple. Gameplay is fun. And you get to celebrate classic Konami characters and games the whole time!
NON !
Attendre 3h pour faire un puzzle quand il ne reste que les boss... oui 3h pour faire un puzzle fini en 2 minutes. Alors oui ya presque pas de pub, bah jaurais preferer regarder une pub pour passer les 3 heures au lieu d’attendre ...
Wish there were in-app purchases
I wish there was an option to go ad-free or get more hints. Could be with in-app purchases. I’d gladly pay a few dollars to go ad-free or watch a video for an extra hint.
Ad-filled
The newest update filled the game with advertisements and have made it very unstable.
Great game except for boss puzzles
Like many other reviews, my only complaint is this pointless waiting required to solve these “boss” puzzles. Otherwise, good free Picross app.
Lovely soundtracks!
I just love playing this game with my earphones on.
REALLY BAD, DON’T GET
As soon as I open up the tutorial, it doesn’t let me press or do anything. Although I do EXACTLY what it tells me to do it doesn’t let me press buttons and do the tutorial. DO NOT GET!!!
Annoying timer!
Would be 5 stars except for the annoying 4 hour timer between boss puzzles. I play this game once a day so with 40 boss puzzles left, it will take over a month to finish. Doesn’t feel worth my time now!
Stopped working after update
Loved the game and played it for a year but after doing an update to fix bugs, it stopped working. So will have to find a new game. ☹️
Great, really obtrusive ads
Title kind of says it all. Straight forward UI, charming classic Konami pixel art as nonograms but you have to close a pop up after each one.
