In House Painter 2, you’re not just filling blank walls—you’re solving visual puzzles with a splash of color. This sequel takes the beloved swiping mechanic of the original and dials it up with bolder levels, tighter challenges, and more room for creativity.
But don’t be fooled by the relaxing visuals—each house hides a clever maze of swipes that demand planning and precision. Whether you’re a first-time painter or back to chase perfection, this guide will help you master the art of minimal-motion painting.
🖌️ Painting Basics: Every Swipe Counts
At its core, House Painter 2 is about efficient swiping.
Here’s how to nail the basics:
- Swipe in straight lines to paint all reachable areas until hitting a wall or edge.
- Make sure every square is covered—missed tiles mean no completion.
- You can swipe over painted areas again, but it adds to your swipe count.
🎯 Pro Tip: Before your first move, scan the layout and mentally map your swipe path—it saves time and avoids dead ends.
🧩 Path Strategy: Think Before You Swipe
As levels get more complex, random swiping won’t cut it. You’ll need to approach each puzzle like a maze:
| Challenge | Smart Move | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple isolated corners | Cover them first | Prevents backtracking later |
| Long hallways | Use them as your final sweep | Cleans up leftovers efficiently |
| Tight clusters | Focus on these early | Easier to branch from wide-open areas |
🧠 Remember: The shortest path isn’t always obvious. Sometimes a detour saves a move.
💎 Score Efficiency: Less Is More
Each level has hidden score metrics based on:
- Total number of swipes
- Time to complete
- No missed tiles on first try
To improve scores:
- Re-play levels to find more optimal paths.
- Use fewer swipes by combining longer runs.
- Don’t rush—fast completion with mistakes won’t help your score.
🏆 Challenge Yourself: Try completing each level with par swipes or fewer for gold ratings.
🌈 Visual Feedback: Use It to Your Advantage
The bright visuals in House Painter 2 aren’t just for fun—they help guide your gameplay.
Watch for:
- Unpainted tiles that appear subtly dimmer
- Animated brush trails that reveal how much area you’ve covered
- Restart glow if you’ve trapped yourself—sometimes resetting is smarter than undoing swipe after swipe
👀 Visual scanning can reduce mistakes. Treat it like a live map.
