Pop every thread. Mind the order. Avery's Pointer Puzzle fills a dot grid edge-to-edge with bright, bendy candy threads. Tap one and it slithers out the way its arrow points — unless another thread is sitting in its lane. Blocked threads cost you a heart, and you only have three. Early levels are quick, colorful warm-ups. Then the boards grow: long snakes wind across the whole map, weaving through dozens of other threads. To set them free you'll have to read the board, trace the tangles, and clear a chain of blockers in just the right order. One wrong tap and a heart is gone. EVERY LEVEL IS SOLVABLE Each board is 100% packed and verified solvable before it ever reaches you. If you're stuck, it's not the puzzle — it's the order. Breathe, look again, find the thread that's truly free. FEATURES • Hundreds of handcrafted-quality levels, with endless generated levels beyond • One continuous journey — difficulty rises gently, with breathers along the way • Long "hero" snakes that cross the whole board and demand real planning • Juicy candy visuals: springy pops, confetti, and a gummy, colorful board • Cheerful music and satisfying pop sounds (with a cute volume menu) • Haptics that make every pop feel great • Pinch to zoom and pan on the big boards • Your progress saves automatically • No ads. No tracking. No internet required. Made with love for puzzle fans of all ages — especially Avery.
