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…
This update adds a clickable button to the puzzle screen that toggles on or off the option to point out rows and columns that can be worked on. It also adds equivalent keyboard and gamepad inputs to do the same, with the keyboard input defaulting to the quote key and the gamepad input unassigned by default, since the other inputs are used already. The update also fixes an issue with puzzle sizi…
Added the ability to change the location of the "Nonozle User Puzzles" and "Nonozle User Themes" folders, which by default are created in the Documents directory on Windows and in the home directory on Linux. To do this, create a .txt file called "export_location.txt" in the base save file folder ("C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Nonozle" on Windows, "~/.local/share/Nonozle" on Linux), not any sub-dir…
Looking for more puzzles to play? This new DLC combo pack contains 100 new puzzles, ranging in size from 15x15 to 30x30. There are two packs included: a food and drink themed one and an unthemed (miscellaneous) one. Each has 50 puzzles. Fair warning, the puzzles should overall be harder than the ones included in the original puzzle pack!
Nonozle's color theme system and theme editor have been totally reworked. Prior to this update, the game had three built-in themes and a hard limit of five custom themes that couldn't be renamed or shared. With 3.02.00, themes are now like puzzle packs: you can rename them, sign and export them, and add as many as you want.* The five existing custom themes will be imported into the new system o…
This update gives you greater control over the range of solver pass counts you want when generating a puzzle. For any given line-solvable puzzle, the solver takes a number of passes before completing the puzzle. This number is useful as a rough approximation of difficulty. Before this update, when generating a random puzzle, you would pick a percentile range that you wanted the random puzzle to…
Fixed a crash that could occur when a puzzle is filled in incorrectly when using the original hint fading method. This bug was introduced in 3.00.00 but escaped my notice.
This patch adds a new button on the puzzle screen that you can click that will bring up a dialog telling you whether or not the puzzle as it is currently filled in is correct. It also adds a keyboard and gamepad input to do the same. This saves time if you just want a quick sanity check but normally keep the option to warn if the puzzle is incorrect turned off.
This is a big update, with many changes big and small. The headlining feature of the update is Workshop integration, allowing you to upload and share puzzles and packs of puzzles with other Steam users. Other changes include, but are not limited to, the addition of optional hint aggregation, the overhauling of the puzzle editor, and the retconning of all built-in puzzles to be line solvable. Wi…
Good news, Linux/Steam Deck users! The game now has a native build for Linux. This should mean improved performance compared to playing the Windows version on Linux through Proton. Thanks to Steam Auto-Cloud, if you switch over to the native version, your save files should be synced to the new save location and things should just work. However... There's a caveat. Any functionality involving th…
Font options are here! Along with the original font, there's now a new font with similar metrics to the original but with curves instead of blocky corners. There's also an updated version of the original font with some tweaks and more consistency, but the unmodified original font is still selectable if you prefer it. That makes a total of three fonts, with the potential for more being added lat…
Craving more challenge? Try out the new "brainracking mode" option. With this option enabled (found at Options > Puzzle > Brainracking mode), the following things are disabled: · Hint fading · Xs and placeholders · Undo and redo · Counting · All puzzle assists The only thing you can do is fill in or remove squares. Everything else has to be done in your mind. This mode is entirely optional and…
Fixed random puzzles not resizing correctly when the resolution is changed. · Fixed some puzzle UI element sizing and overlap issues. · Changed hint fading to default to the original method of hint fading. Advanced hint fading must now be enabled manually. · Fixed random puzzles not showing the size of the puzzle when the option to show the number and size of the puzzle is enabled. · Changed ho…
Randomly generated puzzles are here! Now, you'll never run out of puzzles to solve again! Assuming you don't mind solving puzzles that don't form images, that is. To generate a random puzzle to solve, just click the Play button on the title screen (renamed from "Puzzle select"), then select the "Generate a random puzzle" option. You can then pick the size of puzzle you want to generate, as well…
Added an option to show or hide the currently selected primary click type. (Options > Puzzle > Puzzle Appearance > Show current primary fill type when using mouse) · If you uncheck this option, I recommend changing your mouse input settings so that left click is always "Fill", rather than "Primary Click". That way, you don't inadvertently change what the left mouse button does via the mouse whe…
This update adds achievements for completing abstract puzzles! There are six total, one for each puzzle size category and one for completing all of them. If you've already completed some or all of the abstract puzzles, simply opening up the game should cause any resulting achievements to immediately pop up. Additionally, puzzles in the puzzle select screens now display a checkmark next to the t…
This update adds 100 new puzzles for you to solve! The puzzles are different from the original ones included with the game. For those, much of my focus was on making recognizable pictures, rather than the puzzle itself, so most of the puzzles were relatively easy to solve. For this update, I decided to create abstract, unrecognizable puzzles instead, so I could focus on making puzzles that were…
Additions · Added the ability to turn on or off individual sound effects. (Options > Sound > Sound effect settings) · Added an option to increase the thickness of the five-line dividers. (Options > Puzzle > Puzzle appearance > Use thicker five lines) Note that this has little to no effect at very low resolutions. · Added an option to turn off the expanding ripple of color that appears when you…
Version 1.04.00 is a patch that addresses some quality-of-life issues with the puzzle creation and sharing features introduced in 1.03.00. Changes · Added a '+' button to create a new puzzle on the user puzzle select screen. · On keyboard and controller, the puzzle creation menu can be accessed using whatever key or button is assigned as the pause input. · Added a button to test solve puzzles d…
About the update With this new update, it's now possible to create and share puzzles! Once you've created a puzzle and test-solved it, you can share it by copying it to your computer's clipboard. The puzzle is encoded into text that can then be sent to friends or posted online. Others can then play the puzzle by copying the text and then pressing the right button in-game! You can design puzzles…
Additions · Added four more custom themes that can be configured, for a total of five. · Added buttons to copy and paste individual colors in the custom theme editor. · Added a toggleable option to have custom theme colors update in real-time while picking them. · Added a background fade effect to the puzzle pause menu. · Added a prompt to the custom theme editor asking whether you want to keep…
Additions · Added an option to automatically fill in empty spaces in rows and columns when all empty spaces in the row or column have to be filled in to complete it. · This option can be found at Options > Puzzle > Puzzle assist > Automatically fill empty squares when required · Since this option does quite a bit of the work for you, most players will probably want to leave it disabled, I imagi…
