Shikaku+
Complete squares with friends.

About Shikaku+
Shikaku+ is a cooperative and competitive puzzle platform built on the Nikoli puzzle, Shikaku.
The core mechanic is simple: partition a grid into rectangles so each rectangle contains exactly one number, and the rectangle’s area matches that number.
About Shikaku Hokan
I thought, Shikaku was hard enough. How can we make it harder?
Then, I thought about making constraints in the game, and we came up with an alternate version of classic Shikaku.
There’s some given blocks across the board, but now we’ve taken the numbers and it’s your game to make these numbers fit in the board now.
Now, the game turned from just “complete the squares” to “how can you make the Targets fit the board”
From analysis to deduction. It’s pretty clean, you should try it!
