Puzzle Area
Read full descriptionHide full description
Puzzle Area is a clean and engaging logic puzzle game where every number guides you to the correct area. Each level contains a board made of square cells. Your goal is to find rectangular areas that match the numbers on the board. If a number says 5, you need to select an area made of exactly 5 squares. Complete all areas correctly and the board fills with color. The game starts with quick and simple levels, then gradually introduces larger boards, trickier layouts, and more creative puzzle shapes. As you progress, you unlock new layers and face more challenging boards that require careful thinking. Features: - Hundreds of handcrafted and generated puzzle levels - Starter, 7x7, 8x8, 9x9, 10x10, 11x11, 12x11, 13x11, 14x11, and 15x11 layers - Special non-square board layouts in selected levels - Star system based on your number of moves - Hint system for difficult puzzles - Layer coin system to unlock new challenges - Smooth level completion screen - Optional Remove Ads purchase - Simple one-hand mobile gameplay - Supports iPhone and iPad Puzzle Area is easy to understand, but each new layer asks you to think more carefully. Follow the numbers, find the areas, and complete every puzzle.
