Our take on Paint it Back
The defining structure is a gallery of 150 missing pixel-art paintings, each reconstructed through its own logic puzzle rather than freeform drawing.
What is Paint it Back?
Paint it Back turns pixel-art restoration into a collection of logic puzzles.
Each painting is rebuilt by solving a distinct grid-based challenge with elements associated with picross, sudoku, nonograms, paint-by-numbers and griddlers. The game includes 150 paintings across 15 rooms, with Normal, Pro and Master difficulty settings. An endless Mystery Masterpiece mode adds another challenge format, while 20 achievements track progress. Undo and redo controls support puzzle solving, and paintings can be played with a mouse, keyboard, game controller or touchscreen PC. The game supports six player profiles on one computer, along with Steam Cloud and achievements. A free demo is available.
