## What is Tinta?

300 grids with one single solution, always reachable through pure logic. No timer, no lives to lose, never an ad in the middle of a grid.

Tinta is sudoku with the numbers fired and colors hired. Every grid hides a secret coloring — and everything, absolutely everything, can be deduced. Zero luck, zero guessing: if you're stuck, the answer is already staring at you.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap a cell, it changes color. Congrats, you know the rules.
• Count chips tell you how many cells of a color sit in a row or column.
• The = and ≠ markers link two neighboring cells: twins, or rivals.
• A few cells start revealed: your footholds.
• Hit Check when you're ready. Fewer tries, more stars. Simple. Cruel. Addictive.

IT ESCALATES
• 300 levels generated and verified by a logic engine: one unique solution, always reachable through pure reasoning.
• Three worlds: 4×4 with 3 colors to warm up, then a fourth color, then the 5×5 that bites.
• Up to 3 stars per level — a perfect first try is the real trophy.
• And every grid resumes exactly where you left it.

STUCK? NO JUDGMENT
• The logic hint highlights the next deducible cell — figuring out why is on you.
• Reveal colors one correct cell to get you rolling again.
• Earn coins by solving levels (or by watching an ad, if you feel like it).

MADE FOR HUMANS
• No timer, no lives, never an ad in the middle of a grid. Your brain deserves the quiet.
• Purist mode: turn off the correct-cell counter and play without a net.
• Color assist: a distinct symbol per color, so you never depend on color alone.
• Soft, warm interface, dark mode included, one-time Remove Ads purchase.

Into sudoku, binairo (takuzu) or nonograms? Tinta is your next coffee-break obsession. One grid, one coffee, let logic do the talking.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-19

A quiet update, all about the small things.

• A few refinements and internal adjustments.

As always: 300 grids, no timer, no lives to lose — and never an ad in the middle of a grid.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

A short, useful maintenance update.

• Improved stability and technical tune-ups under the hood.

As always: 300 grids, no timer, no lives to lose — and never an ad in the middle of a grid.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-29

The game gains depth. Cells are now pieces set into a recessed board: you can see what you move and what the puzzle gives you, without a word of explanation.

• Raised pieces, recessed board, bolder colors — in light and dark alike.
• Level select fully rebuilt: solved levels are pieces, the ones ahead are empty sockets. Your progress reads at a glance.
• The home screen finally shows where you are, with the next thirty levels.
• Fixed: "Next level" did not always load the next puzzle.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-22

New "riso ink" look: pastel inks overlap in the background, just like the colors in your grids. Warmer on the home screen, just as crisp during play — and tuned for dark mode.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-16

No release notes.
