Ink Fold: Overlap makes darker

Barim's ink darkens where it overlaps. Match the exact shade written on every square to finish the painting.

Drag a piece onto the board. So far, an ordinary block puzzle.

What is different: overlapping is not cheating — it is required. Every square carries a target shade from 1 to 3, and each piece that covers it adds one layer. A square marked 2 is only correct when two pieces overlap on it. The painting is finished when every square matches its target exactly.

A placement that would overshoot simply will not go down. So the question is not "where do I put this" but "what do I overlap."

Each board allows a fixed number of take-backs. Spend them all with no legal placement left and the run ends there. Unlimited undo means nobody ever loses, and a puzzle you cannot lose is not worth solving.

Barim, a baby octopus, lays the first stroke on white paper. Ink to dawn, dawn to night — one hundred stages unrolled as a single scroll. Barim is an octopus that changes its own shade; shifting density is what this animal actually does.
