## What is PathMind?

PathMind is a calm, offline sliding-block puzzle set in a Japanese zen garden. Slide stone tiles across a 6x6 grid to clear a path for the focus stone - then watch it glide free.

No timer. No ads. No internet. Just you and the stones.

HOW TO PLAY
Drag any stone along its axis. Horizontal stones move left and right. Vertical stones move up and down. Clear a path for the terracotta focus stone to exit through the right wall.

EARN STARS
Each level has a par - the fewest moves needed to solve it. Match the par for 3 stars, come close for 2, or simply solve it for 1. Stars unlock eight stone materials: terracotta, ash, slate, sand, bamboo, moss, obsidian, and jade.

30 LEVELS, FIVE GARDENS
Levels are grouped into five gardens: Sand, Stone, Bamboo, Moss, and Slate. Each garden is harder than the last. Earn stars to unlock the next garden and keep progressing at your own pace.

DESIGNED FOR CALM
- No timer - think at your own speed
- Undo any move without penalty
- Restart a level anytime with one tap
- No in-app purchases, no ads, no subscriptions
- Fully offline - plays anywhere, anytime

PathMind is a pure puzzle experience. Every level is verified to have a real solution. The challenge is finding it.
