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.

One line. Every square. A calm, surprisingly deep path puzzle: trace the numbers in order — 1, 2, 3 — and fill the whole grid with a single stroke. A fresh daily puzzle turns spare minutes into the perfect little brain break. ■ How to play • Start your line at 1 • Pass the numbers in order: 1 → 2 → 3 … • Visit every open square exactly once (dark blocks are walls) • Finish on the last number. Drag back to erase, or touch any point on your line to redraw from there ■ Why you'll like it • Always fair: every board is checked by a solver, so there is exactly one solution — no guessing • Endless boards: puzzles are generated on your device and prepared in advance, so there's no waiting • Daily puzzle: the same board for everyone each day — build your streak • Four difficulties: gentle 6×6, 7×7, hard 8×8 and a fiendish 8×8 • Ranks: climb from Novice to Grandmaster; harder boards count for more • Progress: clears, streaks, best times and no-hint rate • Dark mode, in English and Japanese ■ Made for you if… • You want a quick, satisfying "solved!" on a commute or coffee break • You love logic puzzles but dislike ambiguous ones • You'd like a small daily habit that keeps your mind moving • You prefer a clean, quiet, grown-up design ■ Good to know • Free to start. No subscriptions • No third-party ads • Your records stay on your device ■ Privacy • No account or sign-in • Puzzles are generated and played offline • The only network use is reading public App Store information to show other apps from the same developer • No tracking
