Spritz

A picture is buried under a layer of grime, and the only tool is water. Spray across the surface and the dirt lifts wherever the stroke passes, revealing colour underneath a little at a time. There is no timer, no score and no way to fail — the whole thing is the slow satisfaction of taking a filthy surface back to clean.

• Drag to spray. Cleaning is strongest at the centre of the stroke and softens toward its edges, so passes overlap rather than cut hard lines.
• Grime lifts by degrees rather than all at once, and a slow pass removes more than a fast one.
• Each scene's hidden picture is generated from its own seed, so a given scene is always the same one underneath.
• Nothing is timed and nothing is lost. You can stop at any point and the surface stays as you left it.

• Desktop: click and drag to aim the spray
• Phone & tablet: drag a finger to spray, tap to enter your guess

• Clear the centre first, the main subject usually reveals the answer fastest
• Slow overlapping passes wash a spot more thoroughly
• You don't need 100% clean to recognise the picture

Spritz is an original game built on a very old pleasure: revealing something by cleaning it. Its relatives are not other games but scratch cards, restoration work, and the oddly compelling genre of pressure-washing videos.

The design is a single tool and a single verb. A picture sits under a layer of grime, water is the only implement, and the image surfaces wherever a stroke has passed — colour emerging in the shape of your own hand's movement.

Naming the subject at the end is what turns the pleasure into a game. Until then it is pure ASMR-adjacent process; the guess supplies a reason to stop cleaning and look at what you have uncovered, which most cleaning toys never ask you to do.

Spritz is an original, oddly satisfying power-washing toy paired with a light picture-guessing twist, a relaxing, free browser game with a fresh reveal each day.
