Drag dots together. Dots of a color that touch bind into a cluster and move as one piece — but the moment a cluster forms, that color's loose dots freeze. Bind the wrong pair first and you'll trap yourself. • 150 levels, every one verified solvable • Par for every level is the true minimum — proven by exhaustive search • Earn three stars by matching par, or switch on Expert Mode to require it • A shape on every color, not just hue — colorblind-friendly at a tap • Unhurried: no timers, no lives, no ads — undo anything • A calm, generative ambient soundtrack (music can be switched off) • No data collected. No network. No account. An original tribute to the mechanics of the 2014 puzzle Dwelp — with all-new art, music, and levels.
