A cozy connect-the-dots flow puzzle. Every colour has two dots — draw a path to link them and never let two lines cross. Simple to pick up, quietly addictive to master. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag from one coloured dot to its twin to draw its line • Lines can't cross — run through another colour and you'll cut it • A puzzle is solved when every pair is connected • Stuck? Spend a Tip to reveal one colour's path WHAT YOU GET • A hand-tuned level pack that grows from gentle 5×4 grids to dense 8×8 boards • Daily Challenge — one fresh puzzle a day, with a streak calendar and bonus Tips for completing a week or a whole month • Zen mode — endless procedurally generated boards, your size, no pressure, no timer • Two calm themes — a dark starfield and a light sand — switch any time • Fully offline. No account, no sign-up, play anywhere RELAX AND THINK No timers on the core game, no fail states, no nagging. Just you, the grid, and that satisfying click when the last pair connects. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PAID Every level is free. The game is ad-supported, with a single one-time "Ad Free" purchase that removes ads forever. No subscriptions. PRIVACY Anonymous. No account, no email. The optional banner runs in non-personalised mode. Link the dots. Fill the grid. Breathe.
