Blot

A print shop puzzle. You cannot colour a square at a time — you drop ink, and every drop blooms outward into a diamond. Only cyan, magenta and yellow exist, and where two stains overlap the colours mix the way real ink does: cyan over yellow is green, all three is black. Work backwards from the printed page to find where the ink fell.

How to play

1. Pick an ink — cyan, magenta or yellow — then tap your paper to drop it. Each drop blooms into a diamond; ◆ Size changes how far it spreads.
2. Overlapping inks MIX: cyan+yellow is green, magenta+yellow is red, cyan+magenta is violet, all three is black. That is how the mixed colours in the print were made.
3. Match the print exactly using the drops you are given. Undo takes a drop back, and finishing with ink to spare scores more.
