An invasion by the Darkborn from the Dark Realm shattered the peace of this magical world. The Darkborn destroyed the core magic, scattering its power and sealing it across the continent. The land was plunged into darkness and chaos, magic gradually withered, and life suffered. Centuries later, you, an adventurer who accidentally discovered a fragment of magic, will embark on a journey to explore the continent, collect magical shards, and restore magical order to the land, carrying this faint hope with you.

Pop every thread. Mind the order. Avery's Pointer Puzzle fills a dot grid edge-to-edge with bright, bendy candy threads. Tap one and it slithers out the way its arrow points — unless another thread is sitting in its lane. Blocked threads cost you a heart, and you only have three. Early levels are quick, colorful warm-ups. Then the boards grow: long snakes wind across the whole map, weaving through dozens of other threads. To set them free you'll have to read the board, trace the tangles, and clear a chain of blockers in just the right order. One wrong tap and a heart is gone. EVERY LEVEL IS SOLVABLE Each board is 100% packed and verified solvable before it ever reaches you. If you're stuck, it's not the puzzle — it's the order. Breathe, look again, find the thread that's truly free. FEATURES • Hundreds of handcrafted-quality levels, with endless generated levels beyond • One continuous journey — difficulty rises gently, with breathers along the way • Long "hero" snakes that cross the whole board and demand real planning • Juicy candy visuals: springy pops, confetti, and a gummy, colorful board • Cheerful music and satisfying pop sounds (with a cute volume menu) • Haptics that make every pop feel great • Pinch to zoom and pan on the big boards • Your progress saves automatically • No ads. No tracking. No internet required. Made with love for puzzle fans of all ages — especially Avery.
