About

Arosia

Features
Read full description

Arosia is a minimalist path puzzle with a single, satisfying rule: visit every tile once, then finish on the flagged goal. Slide your token one tile at a time and trace a path that fills the whole board. Step onto the goal too early and the run is over — so plan a route that saves it for last. Simple to pick up, tricky to master. Built to feel good in the hand: • A friendly token that smiles wider as you near the finish • Snappy sound, squash-and-stretch, and screen feedback on every move • A celebratory burst when you solve a level • Tap, swipe, click-and-drag, or arrow keys — play however you like 44 levels that grow from a gentle 3×3 up to big holey 8×8 boards. Every level is generated from a real solution, so it's always solvable. No timers forcing you, no lives, no ads. Play the first five levels free; unlock all 44 with a single one-time purchase — no subscriptions. A quick guided tutorial gets you going, and Reduce Motion is fully respected. Relax, find the line, fill the grid.
