About the Game

As the last pixel restorer in the city, your job is to restore faded photographs that have been sealed away for a long time to their original glory.

**Gameplay**:
1. After entering the game, the image will automatically be divided into regions. You need to fill each region completely with rectangles of varying sizes based on the numbers provided.
2. Each rectangle must contain one number, and the number must equal the total number of cells in that rectangle. Once all regions are correctly filled, the level is complete.
3. Hold down the mouse button and drag over the cells to draw a rectangle. To erase a rectangle, hold down the mouse button and drag over it.
4. The three buttons on the left side of the screen allow you to refresh the region, get a hint, and view the full image.

**Game Features**:
1. Retro pixel style
2. Carefully designed pixel artwork
3. Levels that are easy but still challenging
4. Simple and intuitive controls
5. A large number of levels
6. Relaxing background music
