My favorite puzzle game
I’ve been playing this game for many years and still enjoy it! I know the update wasn’t loved by many people, but I just appreciate that the creator is still active in its maintenance. Some of my other favorite puzzle games from high school are unusable due to lack of updates and incapability. But Lyne has always been there and will be for quite some time it seems. I love this game and enjoy my daily puzzles. My only wish is for more new puzzles!

Decrease in Puzzles?
UPDATE 3/25/26: So, up until last fall this was a 5-star game in my book for years. Then I downgraded it to 4 stars with the tenth anniversary update (see below). I am now decreasing the starts further because at least twice so far in 2026, the game has updated and wiped my progress. Today I am back to it asking my language, all settings reset to default, and zero progress. Which means no daily games till I replay, yet again, the ridiculously easy first levels. This is wasting my time. What the heck is going on with this game? This is a prime example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
———
I’ve played this game for I don’t know how many years and would have always given it 5 stars until this tenth anniversary update. I only play the demanding puzzles and was greatly disappointed to see that there are now fewer puzzles per day. There always used to be 25 puzzles per level and then there were 16. Now today there were 8?! Why have the number of puzzles decreased? I understand if it’s effort to make new ones but certainly some could be recycled from the past - who’s going to remember? Thank you for reading this.

Update is not as good
This was my favorite game. Every morning I did the daily challenge. It was my routine. The new format is not as enjoyable and so few puzzles per day. Also the colors and format is dizzying. Please bring back old format and the daily 40 (60 on weekends) puzzles. Please!!

Hello, thanks for your review. I’ve decided to increase the number of daily levels in a future update soon so please look forward to that. I would really like it if you could clarify what you mean by ‘colors and format’, as no colors were changed with the update. You can contact me at tom@thomasbowker.com
Bring back the old format please!
Please bring back the old format where there were 25-50 puzzles per day( and 75 on weekends) - the new format has too few puzzles and isn’t challenging enough. Also I agree with a previous review that the screen format is too small and needs to be bigger especially for those of us who play on our phones…otherwise still my favorite game and well worth the price I paid for it years ago!
Update 11/3: appreciate the new larger screen format…thank you!
Update 11/9: After another week of the new puzzle format, I’m still not liking the decreased number of puzzles…doesn’t feel challenging enough…can’t zone out and relax my mind when there are only 4-20 (not always challenging) puzzles to solve…

Hello, my reasons for reducing the daily level count was to try and balance the time required to complete all the daily levels. I felt, especially later in the week, the game was asking a lot of time of the player and some of the sets I felt became tedious. Being able to reduce the puzzle count also allowed me to introduce some special sets with very difficult levels. The size of the game on screen is very close to the maximum I can make it. If you could, please send me a screenshot of a level you think is too small so I can have a look. Please give the new daily sets a chance, and I’d love to hear what you think after a week or so at tom@thomasboker.com.

Excellent entertainment
Part of my morning routine for years has been working the Lyne puzzles which become progressively more challenging through the week. I am very much enjoying the major tenth anniversary update and recommend Lyne to anyone who likes this kind of puzzle.

It’s Different
I have played this game for at least 20 years. My Granddaughter was just a little girl when I started playing.
We played it together in the dark, so we wouldn’t wake anyone up. I would finish all the stages from A-Z. Then I would be able to reset it back to Zero. It went to 999. I could start over on Zero. It was so exciting. This was the game I played every day. Lots of times, I played this game when I got home very late with my Husband like 5:30 am. I had to play it. Every stage I passed was so exciting. I have been bragging about this game for so long. I even have it on my iPad.
Today is 10-22-25. I started playing my game. Everything has changed. The format is smaller now. I don’t understand why this has happened. When I got a new phone, I had to pay $2.99 for it. So, why isn’t it the same? I am so frustrated by this. It’s disturbing to me. Please put. It back the way it was.

Great game
Thought provoking, no explanation needed.
Best Game
This is such a relaxing yet fun game. It challenges you after a certain amount of levels, but it’s a puzzle worth playing. After mastering levels, you end up being able to change the game skin- and they’re such pretty colors!
I want to thank whoever invented this game. I’ve had to play the game all over again after switching phones, but it’s been a pleasure every time. After having this phone for the past couple of years, I finally reached 999 points. It was a very sweet “thank you for playing”. So bittersweet; but even though I won’t make it to 1,000 points, I’ll still be playing the daily levels.
And that’s the other thing! Once you’ve finished all of the levels, there are daily games whose difficulty changes depending on the day of the week.
I absolutely cherish this game. It honestly calms my anxiety and is a great distraction from the stressors of life. To say I’d highly recommend this game is an understatement. It’s provided countless moments of entertainment and joy for me. Thank you to those who made this game. It’s an absolute hidden gem and a treasure.

Thanks :)
Wonderfully simple. Deceptively complex
i’ve owned this game since it was released. Starbucks had a promotion for it to download free. it’s gone on so many flights and road trips, as well as just helped me relax laying in bed. the puzzles are make my brain happy. i typically solve the more complex within about 4 or 5 tries. if i find one that’s especially challenging, i step away for a bit, then return with fresh eyes to solve it immediately. the sounds are soothing. currently on my fourth play through, on stages G H I. i will go about 6mo to a year between play through a so as to not always be just immediately repeating the puzzles. usually enough time to forget them and replay them.
thanks for such a wonderful distraction.

This is my stress relief game, I just forget about everything when I play ,I had it for a long time I just don’t remember when I got it .My hand get used to all the moves. And I like it 👍
Zen enjoyment
Have been playing LYNE so ce it was first released. Got through the 999 levels initially but continue to be entertained with the daily puzzles when I’m sleepless or just wanting to relax and take a short break.
Genius
An extremely minimalist game with seemingly endless variations. I keep coming back to the daily challenges and am never disappointed.
おしゃれ
起動は若干遅いけれど、見た目がとにかくスタイリッシュなうえiCloudで保存できるので、とても良いです＾＾
Geniale Idee, endloser Spaß
Klasse umgesetzt, macht absolut Laune und fesselt.
Sollte man nicht beginnen, wenn man gerade wenig Zeit hat 😁

Love this game!
I’ve been playing this game for years! I completed all of the levels many moons ago, but I still play the daily puzzles every day, especially toward the end of the week when the daily puzzles are harder. I have to say, however, that I’m a little disappointed that the point tally doesn’t go beyond 999. It’s a small thing in an otherwise extraordinary puzzle game!

Played all available (non-daily) games.
Many are good challenges, some a bit repetitive.
Main drawback is that as soon as you complete a game it disappears and you can’t examine it or reflect on it.
Enjoyable though
