Nonozle (tuxdb.com)

Update 4.01.25 includes a number of exciting new settings!

Random square modification

For those craving some more challenge when solving a puzzle, this new option (located at Settings > Puzzle > Random square modification), when enabled, causes a random square to be randomly changed at random intervals! Sure to keep you on your toes!

No hints

If that's not enough, for the truly hardcore, a new option has been added that disables hints entirely! When this option is enabled, Nonozle becomes officially the hardest nonogram game in existence. Good luck! (Settings > Puzzle > No hints)

Happy squares

This option, located at Settings > Puzzle > Puzzle appearance > Happy squares, makes all the squares happy! Why wouldn't you want to enable this option????

Tiny text mode

With this option enabled (Settings > Appearance > Other appearance settings > Tiny text mode), the text becomes small and hard to read. Get your reading glasses ready! It's like the opposite of accessibility!

ALL CAPS MODE!!!!

TO ADD A LITTLE MORE EXCITEMENT TO THE GAME, TURN ON ALL CAPS MODE!!!! (SETTINGS > APPEARANCE > OTHER APPEARANCE SETTINGS > ALL CAPS MODE!!!!) SEEMS PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY!

all lower case mode

this mode (settings > appearance > other appearance settings > all lower case mode) makes most text lower-case, with nary a capital letter in sight, like that trendy thing you saw that one time. way cool.

Title Case Mode

Turn This Mode On To Make The Text Look Like This. It's Like Everything Is A Title! (Settings > Appearance > Other Appearance Settings > Title Case Mode)

Earn Nonobucks!

Nothing makes a game better like its own currency! With this option enabled, you earn one Nonobuck for every square in every puzzle that you solve during a session. Regrettably, microtransactions on which to spend the Nonobucks have not been added yet. Also, your Nonobucks total is not saved between sessions. When this option is enabled, your current Nonobucks total is shown in the upper right corner of the game window. (Settings > Puzzle > Earn Nonobucks for solving puzzles)

Puzzle grid toggle

You can now hide the puzzle grid if desired. (Settings > Puzzle > Puzzle appearance > Show puzzle grid)

Other changes

Moved the puzzle hint size increase option to be under puzzle appearance settings (Settings > Puzzle > Puzzle appearance > Hint number size increase)
Adjusted the info text for both font size increase options
Renamed "Block font (alternate)" to "Block font (adjusted)" for better clarity
Renamed the "Default" option of square overwrite behavior to "Overwrite selectively" for better clarity
Fixed game reconstruction sometimes not occurring when it needed to when all settings are reset to their defaults
Changed the drawing of puzzle grid elements to ignore grid line width (because of the new option to hide the puzzle grid)
Fixed the three high resolution font sizes manually calculating their encoding (letter positions, letter kerning) each time (they now read their encoding data from the fontencoding.bin file)
Fixed a minor bug where the text in the info pop-up for increasing menu font size was one step delayed in font size changes
Changed the default puzzle square animations to "Grow" (for adding) and "Grow inward (reversed)" (for removing)
Changed letter kerning to space out adjacent capital letters more
Refactored settings menu creation code so that it's it's slightly less spaghetti-like

Nonozle is a game where you solve puzzles by filling in pixels to form an image. This style of puzzle is called a nonogram.

Each row and column of a nonogram has one or more number hints attached to it, and each number represents a contiguous group of filled in pixels. Using these hints, you can figure out which squares should be filled in and which ones should be blank, and thus fill in the puzzle one step at a time until it forms a complete image.
