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.

Connect matching colors. Fill every cell. Beat the clock. Flow Connect: Pipe Puzzle is a clean, satisfying logic game with a bold sticker-style look. Draw pipes to link each pair of same-colored dots – but pipes can't cross, and the board isn't solved until every single cell is filled. Easy to learn, surprisingly deep to master.

Start with simple puzzles that teach the rules, then take on long winding routes, deceptive dots and master-level boards with up to 9 color pairs. Clear levels to unlock new chapters and keep the challenge climbing. EVERY PUZZLE HAS ONE PERFECT ANSWER Each level is generated and checked by a solver. There is exactly one correct way to route the pipes, and that route fills the whole board. No lucky guesses, no leftover gaps – just a pure "aha!" moment when everything clicks into place. MOVES, TIME AND 3-STAR RATINGS Every level has a move budget and a countdown timer that scale with the board size. Finish to earn up to 3 stars: Efficient routes with few wasted moves count most. Finishing quickly adds a bonus. Pausing never costs you stars. Your best result is always saved, so replay any level to chase a perfect 3-star run.
