Heyawake is played on a rectangular grid of cells with no standard size. The grid is divided into variously sized rectangular "rooms" by bold lines following the edges of the cells. Some rooms may contain a single number, typically printed in their upper-left cell. Some of the cells in the puzzle are to be painted black. The object of the puzzle is to determine for each cell if it must be painted or must be left blank (remaining white). The following rules determine which cells are which: Rule 1: Painted cells may never be orthogonally connected (they may not share a side, although they can touch diagonally). Rule 2: All white cells must be interconnected (form a single polyomino). Rule 3: A number indicates exactly how many painted cells there must be in that particular room. Rule 4: A room which has no number may contain any number of painted cells, or none. Rule 5: Where a straight (orthogonal) line of connected white cells is formed, it must not contain cells from more than two rooms—in other words, any such line of white cells which connects three or more rooms is forbidden.

Binary puzzles, if you love puzzling, you should try a binary puzzle. The goal of a binary puzzle is to have the same number of zeros (blue) and ones (green) in every row, and in every column. Each game starts with a grid with a few boxes already filled in. This must be completed further with the following lines: - Every row and every column is unique. - Each row and column contains as many zeros (blue) as ones (green). - There are no more than two neighboring tiles with the same number / color. With thousands of unique puzzles, every game will be different.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Binairio at 4.6 against へやわけ's 3.0. Binairio also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (121 vs 2). へやわけ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Binairio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. へやわけ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Binairio holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Binairio has 121 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of へやわけ's written reviews are positive against 38% of Binairio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
へやわけ ships an update every 31 months, Binairio every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
