App summary

Find which neighboring squares must be painted and create a beautiful picture! Each puzzle consists of a grid containing clues in various places. The object is to reveal a hidden picture by painting the squares around each clue so that the number of painted squares, including the square with the clue, matches the value of the clue.

Fill-a-Pix are exciting logic puzzles that form whimsical pixel-art pictures when solved. Challenging, deductive and artistic, this original Conceptis puzzle offers the ultimate mix of logic, art and fun while providing solvers with many hours of mentally stimulating entertainment.

The game features a unique fingertip cursor which enables playing large puzzle grids with ease and precision: to fill a square, move cursor to the desired location and tap anywhere on the screen. To fill multiple squares, press and hold fingertip until cursor fills the square and start dragging to neighboring squares. The game also features a powerful Smart-fill cursor for quick, single-tap filling of all remaining empty squares around a clue.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Fill-a-Pix contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

It's really stimulating and it's free!! I was starting to get bored of minesweeper and this is very refreshing for the brain. I can only do the really easy ones yet, the spike in difficulty from regular minesweeper is quite big lol. Love it!

There are a couple of features it would be nice to see (mostly dark mode and a tutorial for advanced puzzles), but it's a good, *fun* puzzle game. I've also never seen this "minesweeper nonogram" style of puzzle before, which makes it unique, too. Update 5/2024: Dark mode has landed! Unfortunately, the puzzle colors don't invert, so the menus are nice, but solving puzzles is still pretty bright. 🙁

Fun and fairly priced. I've been going to the Conceptis webpage for years and this is the next logical step. Some of the bigger puzzles take 4+ hours to complete, so a few of those for $3-$4 send like a good deal. Hints system helps prevent the puzzles from getting frustrating, and there's an option to auto-fill obvious clues. Controls take a little while to get used to, especially panning with 2 fingers.
