Paint it Back

Mechanics

Paint it Back is an interesting puzzle game. We paint pictures in a slightly twisted way because it is not enough to grasp the brush in your hand and wave it in front of the canvas. Instead, at each level we have an empty board divided into square fields. From the top and left side, there are numbers telling us how many fields should be painted horizontally and vertically. Importantly, the painted fields must be side by side. Using this information, we mark the squares with a brush, thus creating an image that reveals itself in its entirety when the grid is finished. The rules of the game are very simple, but while the boards are small at the beginning, they grow significantly with time, and in addition, there are more numbers telling us that in one line we have to, for example, mark 4, and then 3 fields. This makes fun more demanding and challenging over time.

In total, the creators prepared 150 paintings and three levels of difficulty, which translates into several hours of pleasant thinking.
