Nonacorn is an endless nonogram game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

It was developed over 48 hours for the Global Game Jam 2023.

Installation

Download and unzip the .zip file.

Open Nonacorn.gba on a Gameboy Advance Emulator or flash cart.

User guide

In this game endless random puzzles will be generated. The acorn you pick will determine the randomness. 

To complete a puzzle the number of tiles in a column or row must match the numbers shown outside the grid in the corresponding column or row.

If there are multiple numbers in the same position e.g "1 2 3" this means that there are 3 sets of numbers of 1 length, 2 length, and 3 length. 

So "1 2 3" would be "0 X 0 0 X 0 0 0" and "8" would be "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0".

Controls

D-Pad - Move Cursor

A - Place tile

B - Place Cross

A (holding L) - Place dot

Start - Get Hint/Credits
