Slide the tiles to connect one unbroken path from start to goal. This is not the usual sliding puzzle where you sort numbers into order. Every tile carries a fragment of a line. Push them into the empty square, rebuild the route in your head, and the whole path lights up the moment it connects. 50 levels, 3x3 to 6x6. Features - Clean, paper-like board with smooth sliding animation - 50 levels across 4 chapters (3x3 / 4x4 / 5x5) - Free play in any board size, 3x3 to 6x6 - Three-star rating based on your move count - Move counter, three-star target, and a best record for every level - Undo one move, or restart the level anytime - Haptic feedback on every tile - Particle celebration when a level is cleared - Plays fully offline How to play 1. Drag a tile that sits next to the empty square into that square 2. Connect the line from the bolt (start) to the checkered flag (goal) 3. Connected tiles glow, so you always see how far the path reaches 4. Fewer moves means more stars A quiet way to focus, or a short break between things. Slide the tiles and connect the path.
