How it feels

You carefully fill in a nonogram grid to reveal a picture, helping a raccoon dig for gold in a calm, puzzle-driven session.

What players say

Players describe it as a bare-bones nonogram game with randomly generated puzzles that form no picture. Many complain about missing quality-of-life features like 5-tile marks and row completion tracking, while the small, unresizable grid strains the eyes. Some puzzles require guessing, and the red-and-green color scheme causes issues for colorblind players.
