Fill the rectangle. No gaps. No overlaps. RectPack is a minimalist spatial puzzle game designed for those who find beauty in perfect fits. Your goal is simple: take a collection of colorful rectangles and pack them perfectly into the grid. Every level in RectPack is "Solver-Verified"—engineered by a custom brute-force algorithm to ensure there are no impossible boards and just enough "dead-ends" to keep your brain engaged. Whether you’re looking for a five-minute zen break or a high-stakes blitz, RectPack offers four distinct ways to play: JOURNEY: Progress through 75 hand-crafted levels across three themed worlds—Mondrian Gardens, Chromatic Heights, and Neon Flux. ZEN: Infinite procedural puzzles. No timers, no pressure—just you and the grid. DAILY PACK: Join players worldwide in solving the same three seeded puzzles every day to build your streak. RUSH: A 60-second blitz. How many puzzles can you solve before the clock hits zero? Crafted with Care: Tactile Feedback: Feel the satisfying "snap" of a perfect placement with custom haptic and procedural audio. Strategic Tension: A unique move-counting system where lifting a piece has a cost, encouraging you to think twice before you place. Premium Aesthetic: Clean lines, vibrant palettes, and smooth animations that look stunning on retina displays. No fluff, no filler—just pure geometric satisfaction.
