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.

Packlight is a cozy puzzle about fitting travel belongings into a suitcase. Shirts, pants, sneakers, a camera, books, an umbrella... rotate each piece and fill every empty space in the suitcase. When nothing is left over, the lid closes and your next trip opens. - EIGHT DESTINATIONS, 160 SUITCASES Jeju, Busan, Tokyo, Paris, the Alps and more, twenty suitcases each. Early trips are gentle; later ones add fixed compartments and longer pieces, and the difficulty rises slowly. - STARS, SOUVENIRS AND A DAILY PUZZLE Pack in fewer moves for more stars. Collect a souvenir from every destination for your passport, and keep a streak going with a new suitcase every day. - SIMPLE CONTROLS Tap a piece, then tap an empty space. Or drag it in. Tap it again, or press Rotate, to turn it. - NEVER STUCK Undo, restart, take a piece back out, or use a hint that puts one piece in the right place. Earn hints with stars, souvenirs and daily puzzles. - PLAYS OFFLINE No sign-in and no purchases. Every level plays without an internet connection, and your progress stays on your device. Some stages offer an optional ad for extra hints. Happy packing!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Packlight at none against RECTPACK's 2. Packlight also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). RECTPACK's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
