Grid Glyphs is a nonogram-style puzzle game for the Playdate.

Set with a light theme of treasure hunting, it captures all the classic nonogram puzzle satisfaction on PlayDate.

Nonograms, also known as HanjiePaint by NumbersPicrossGriddlers, and Pic-a-Pix, are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the edges of the grid to reveal a hidden picture.

Rules

  • In Grid Glyphs you create images from clues.
  • Push A to fill squares.
  • Pressing B will mark a square as Empty.  Use this to track what you know should not be filled in.
  • The Numbers in each row and column are hints.  They tell you how many squares must be filled in.
  • If you correctly fill in a set of squares, their corresponding number will also be filled in.
  • If there is more than one number you must leave at least one empty space between each square.
  • Incorrect placements have a time penalty. (You can turn this off in the options menu.)
  • You should never have to guess. Puzzles can be worked out with logic.


This game should be Side Loaded onto the Playdate - View instructions here.

This is really good game and I enjoy for fun. 

I would like to suggest two things.

1. Option to turn off a timer so that it can be played freely.

2. It would be nice to have a setting to zoom in when playing 15x15, 20x15. 

Thanks for making a great game!!

Is this coming to Catalog?? Looks dope.

Yes! It’s been approved for the Playdate catalog and is in the queue. Thanks!
