Puzzole is a logic puzzle game where you paint your way through each board to reveal its hidden pattern. Use the shape shown on the right as your clue, then find the same shape on the board. Fill the correct cells with color and watch small clues come together into a complete puzzle. Take your time to think, paint, and adjust. Use the brush, eraser, and undo tools to fill the board your way, choose colors from the palette, and solve every stage at your own rhythm. Features - Logic puzzles built around finding matching shapes - Brush, eraser, and undo tools - A customizable color palette - Stage completion and progression - A one-time in-app purchase to remove ads - Music and sound-effect settings - iPhone and iPad support Puzzole is a game of observation and judgment, not quick reflexes.
