About

Pattern Puzzle

Recreate target patterns on a 10×10 grid. Every stroke you paint tiles the entire surface using a brick-offset algorithm — like real rug tufting.

Score & Stars

Earn up to 3 stars per level. Your score combines move efficiency and speed. Fewer moves = bigger bonus. Fast fingers = extra points.

Zen Mode

No pressure, no scoring. Just a blank canvas and your creativity. Draw freely, experiment with the tiling algorithm, and export your creations.
