Stringline is a calm dots puzzle and color path puzzle. Link matching colors with one continuous string.

Some colors have more than two dots, so you choose which dots become the two ends of the string. Features: - Clean path puzzle gameplay. - Link colors and draw lines with one continuous string. - One-line logic with no crossing, no branches, no loops. - Handcrafted levels with rising challenge. - Tap a string to cut it back and correct your route. - Calm paper-and-thread visual style. - Built to play offline after download.
