About Pixel Grove

Pixel Grove is a nonogram. The picture is hidden, but every row and every column carries a label listing the lengths of its runs of filled cells, in order. Fill cells until every label is satisfied and the picture shows itself. Five pictures follow one another, the last of them eight by eight, and the counts never lie.

Filled cells score, matched lines score, and a picture finished without a single check earns a bonus. The Check button flags any filled cell that is not part of the picture, so a wrong run can always be found and repaired rather than guessed at.
