About Home House Painter
Home House Painter is a painting puzzle with a very clear brief: the wall is white, and by the end of the level none of it should be. You move a painter across the surface, and everywhere it travels gets covered in color.
The puzzle is in the movement. You choose a direction and the paint goes that way, so getting into every corner takes some thought about the order of your moves. Go the wrong way first and you can find the last white patch awkward to reach. The game describes itself as tricky at times, and that is fair - the idea is simple, but you have to make sure you paint in the right direction.
It belongs to the hypercasual family: instant to understand, quick to play and satisfying to finish. Watching the last bit of white disappear is the whole reward, and it is a surprisingly good one. You can play with the arrow keys, the mouse or on-screen touch buttons.
How to play Home House Painter
- Look at the wall and find the white areas that still need paint.
- Use the arrow keys, the mouse or the on-screen direction buttons to choose a direction.
- Paint spreads along the direction you choose.
- Pick your directions so that every white space gets covered.
- Finish the wall to move on to the next level.
Tips and tricks
- Find the hardest corner first and work out how you will reach it. Then plan the rest of your moves around that.
- Paint the dead ends early. Leaving a narrow section for last often means you cannot get back into it.
- Trace the route in your head before the first move. Seeing the whole path in advance makes it much easier to cover every white space.
- If one direction keeps causing trouble, try opening the level with a different one next time.
