Shikaku vs Grid Patch

Master the Geometry of Logic. Step into the world of Shikaku (also known as Rectangles), a classic Japanese logic puzzle reimagined for the modern era. Shikaku is a minimalist experience designed for those who find beauty in structure and peace in problem-solving. THE GOAL Divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces such that each piece contains exactly one number. That number must represent the total area (the number of cells) of that rectangle. It’s simple to learn, but mastery requires a deep understanding of logical geometry. WHY PLAY SHIKAKU? • Handcrafted Minimalism: A clean, distraction-free interface that lets you focus entirely on the puzzle at hand. • Daily Chapters: Every day brings a new "Chapter" with three stages of escalating difficulty. Start your morning with a light challenge and end your day with a masterclass in logic. • Infinite Endless Mode: Never run out of puzzles. Generate grids of various sizes—from quick 4x4 warm-ups to daunting large-scale grids. • Personalize Your Experience: Express yourself with over 16 vibrant themes, including Tokyo Neon, Sakura, Botanical, and Midnight. • Mastery XP System: Prove your skill. Turn off assistive features to earn 1.5x XP and climb the ranks of logic masters. • Zero Distractions: No ads. No interruptions. Just you and the grid. Whether you’re a Sudoku veteran or a casual puzzle lover, Shikaku offers a meditative yet mentally stimulating escape. Handcrafted with pride by De Groot Studio.

Grid Patch is a grid-based logic puzzle where you fill the entire board using patches — rectangular and square shapes. Each numbered tile on the grid tells you the exact size of the shape that must cover it. Your goal is to place every shape so the board is complete, with no gaps and no overlaps. Inspired by Shikaku and classic tiling puzzles, GridPatch brings a clean and modern patches-based approach to grid-based logic challenges. It sounds simple, but each puzzle demands careful observation, spatial reasoning, and logical deduction. Start from the numbers, work out which shapes fit, and piece together the solution step by step. HOW TO PLAY • Each puzzle presents a grid with numbered tiles • A number indicates the exact size of the patch that must cover it • Shapes are rectangles or squares • Every cell must be covered by exactly one patch • No overlaps and no gaps are allowed • Use logic and available space to determine correct placement FEATURES • Clean and minimal interface for focused gameplay • Patches-based mechanics inspired by Shikaku puzzles • Progressive difficulty across multiple grid sizes • Smooth and intuitive controls WHO IS IT FOR GridPatch is designed for players who enjoy logic puzzles, spatial reasoning, and structured problem-solving. If you like Shikaku, rectangle puzzles, or number-based grid challenges, this game offers a refined and satisfying experience. Suitable for both quick sessions and longer, focused gameplay. Challenge your mind. Fill the grid. Solve with logic.
