Send every bee home. No traffic jams. Beelines is a calm, one-more-move sliding puzzle. Tap a bee and it flies in a straight line until something stops it — a blossom, another bee, or the edge of the board. Fly it off the board into its colour-matched hive to bring it home. One honest rule, hundreds of clever puzzles. EASY TO LEARN, DEEP TO MASTER • Tap — that's the whole tutorial. Level 1 takes ten seconds. • Plan the order: bees block each other, and one wrong tap costs the 3-star. • Beat the move limit; chase par for 3 stars on all 420 levels. FIVE MIND-BENDING MECHANICS • Redirect arrows bend a bee's flight mid-air • Portals warp bees across the board • Paint tiles recolour a bee — it needs a different hive now! • Colour doors only open for matching bees • Nectar pools stop a bee for a sweet sip A JOURNEY OF 35 WORLDS From Sunny Meadow to the Moonlit Meadow, the Frosted Garden and beyond — 420 handcrafted and expertly generated levels, every single one verified fair: always solvable inside its move limit. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily puzzle with streaks • Weekly hard mode for experts • Endless mode with rising waves • Daily gifts and rotating missions • Share any board — friends play the exact same puzzle and race your score MADE TO RELAX • Soothing per-world soundtrack and gentle sounds • No timers, no lives, no pressure — undo any move • Colourblind-friendly mode, reduced motion, haptics • Fully playable offline.

The clearest difference is ads: Codebreaker* at none against Beelines's shown. Beelines's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
