About Patches
Patches is a quiet place to fill the board.
A calm, minimalist tiling puzzle made for winding down — soft, paper-like colors, gentle motion, and no pressure at all. Every board is freshly generated and always solvable, so there's a new quiet puzzle waiting whenever you want to slow down.
HOW TO PLAY
Each board is scattered with small clues. Drag from one corner to another to draw a rectangular "patch," and cover exactly one clue with it:
• Square, Wide, or Tall tells you the patch's shape.
• A number tells you how many cells it should fill.
Patches can never overlap, and you win when every cell is covered. Tap a patch to lift it, undo a step, or take a gentle hint whenever you like. There's no failing and no clock bearing down on you — just a tidy patchwork, one piece at a time.
WHY PATCHES
• Calm by design — desaturated "paper" colors and a slow, breathing background.
• A dedicated Night mode for winding down before sleep.
• Soft, optional sounds and gentle haptics as each piece settles into place.
• Freshly generated puzzles — no repeated levels, endless play.
• Three sizes to grow into — Easy, Normal, and Hard reveal fewer clues as you go.
• Chase your own best times, or hide the timer for a pressure-free fill.
CALM, AND YOURS
• No account and no sign-in — just open and play.
• Your settings and best times stay on your device.
• Designed to work fully offline.
Whether you have two minutes or twenty, Patches is a soft, screen-friendly way to slow down and settle your mind.
