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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Code Cracker at none against Grid Patch's shown. The Code Cracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Grid Patch's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
