How to play
- Goal
- Shade each supplied shape exactly once, leaving one connected area of Pale ground.
- How it ends
- Classify every cell Dark or Pale. All shapes, circle clues and ground rules must hold. Undo and Erase allow corrections.
- Record
- Your first unassisted finish keeps its time for this chart; later plays are practice.
- Each supplied shape picture is one statue. Its number counts cells. Use every supplied statue exactly once; rotation and reflection are allowed.
- Statues cannot overlap or share an edge. Corner contact is allowed.
- Every Pale cell must connect through its sides to every other Pale cell. Some Pale ground must remain.
- Black circles must be Dark and white circles must be Pale. A statue need not contain a circle. A square statue is legal when supplied.
- Choose Dark, Pale or Erase; tap or drag. A released stroke is one Undo. Describe selected reports the marked group at the focused cell; brushes keep painting normally.
- Escape, resize, pointer loss or a second finger withdraws an unfinished stroke. Restart retains the first clock. Reload retains marks and Undo on an unfinished first solve; its resumed finish stays local. Reopening practice starts fresh.

- Keep a path A cell that is the only remaining connection between Pale areas must be Pale.
- Use the fixed circles A white circle blocks a statue position; a black circle must belong to a supplied statue.
