## Description

Paintarea is a relaxing area fill logic puzzle built around regions, clues, and careful deduction.<br><br>Each board is divided into regions. Your goal is to decide which regions should be shaded and which should stay empty. Every region is handled as a whole, so each choice can affect several cells at once. The numbered clues tell you how many of the surrounding orthogonally adjacent cells should be shaded, giving you the information you need to solve the puzzle step by step.<br><br>The rules are simple to learn, but the puzzles can become surprisingly deep. You need to connect all shaded cells into one continuous area, avoid creating fully shaded or fully empty 2x2 blocks, and use every clue carefully. A single region can change the entire board, so every decision matters.<br><br>Paintarea is made for players who enjoy clean logic puzzles, calm thinking, and satisfying deductions. There is no need to rush. Study the regions, test the clues in your mind, and slowly uncover the correct pattern.<br><br>Start with smaller puzzles to learn the flow, then move into larger boards where the region shapes and clues create more challenging situations. Each puzzle is designed to feel clear, readable, and rewarding to solve.<br><br>Features:<br>- Area fill logic puzzles<br>- Region-based shading<br>- Number clues<br>- Multiple puzzle sizes<br>- Clean visual style<br>- Simple tap controls<br>- Calm puzzle-solving flow<br>- Logic-focused gameplay<br>- Great for fans of brain teasers, board puzzles, and pencil-style logic games<br><br>How to play:<br>- Shade whole regions or mark them as empty<br>- Use clues to count shaded adjacent cells<br>- Keep all shaded cells connected<br>- Avoid any 2x2 area that is entirely shaded or entirely empty<br>- Solve the full board using logic<br><br>Paintarea gives you a focused puzzle experience where every board is about observation, deduction, and clean logical progress.
