It's nonograms. Simple as that. If you enjoy these hidden picture puzzles like Picross or Griddlers, then this is a very enjoyable version. As someone constantly playing nonograms across multiple games/apps, this is highly recommended.

A good picross puzzle game with 150 levels of varying difficulties. One thing I wish the game would have is multicolored puzzles as when it shows you the painting you "painted" in the end it is colored, but the puzzle it is just black.

I loved it, the puzzles were creative and fun!

Well worth it. Great puzzle arts, however it lacks some quality of life features like marking cells / counting them, which makes it a bit harder than it has to be.

I love nonograms and Paint it Back is an excellent addition to the category. The controls are great with a controller and on Steam Deck. I greatly appreciate the meaty demo along with it transferring progress to the actual game after buying it. The variance in puzzle size within categories is a breath of fresh air. There are plenty of standard and non-standard sizes available here. The music, while I don't remember it does at the very least fit the game while you play it. I like it despite not being able to describe it more. This game is worth full price and I'm going to finish going through it over time. Paint it Back, despite releasing years ago, sits in my Top 5 of nonogram games on Steam.
