About noguelike
noguelike is a free browser-based game that combines
nonogram puzzles (also known as picross, griddlers, or paint-by-numbers)
with roguelike dungeon crawling. Solve pixel art logic puzzles to defeat
monsters, collect items, and descend through increasingly challenging dungeon floors.
How to play
Each monster encounter presents a nonogram puzzle. Use the row and column number clues
to determine which cells to fill. Wrong guesses cost HP. Defeat the monster by completing
the puzzle, then explore the dungeon map to find treasure, shops, rest rooms, and boss fights.
Every run is different thanks to procedural generation. Drag to fill multiple cells at once.
All puzzles are guaranteed to be 100% solvable through logic alone.
