Monostroke vs Acequia

Monostroke is a single-line drawing puzzle. Draw one continuous stroke through every required cell — no lifting your finger, no retracing your path. One simple rule. A lot of depth. ONE RULE. WORLDS OF DEPTH. Start with the basics. Then meet the mechanics, one at a time: • Walls block your path. • Ice slides you in straight lines. • Switches flip the rules mid-stroke. • Portals teleport across the board. • Veils hide what lies beneath. • Bridges let your line cross itself, cleanly. Every mechanic is taught before it's tested. THREE CHALLENGE MODES For when the basics feel too tame: • MIRROR — your stroke mirrors across an axis. • BLUEPRINT — strict, minimalist puzzles for the precise. • TALLY — hit every checkpoint as you go. Master a world to permanently unlock its visual theme. THE GAUNTLET Five floors. No retries. The line ends here. The Gauntlet is the prestige test. Earn shards from your runs and spend them on the most exclusive cosmetic in the game: the iridescent Aurora theme. META-MAPS Each region of a hand-drawn world is its own puzzle. Together, they form a complete map. Solve every sub-region of the Hourglass to complete the picture. EARN WHAT YOU WEAR Themes are unlocked through play, not paywalls. Master a world to claim its visual identity: • Paperweight — aged manuscript paper. • Tron — neon on dark glass (cyan, orange, magenta variants). • Constellation — cosmic starfields with optional aurora overlays. • Blueprint Cyanotype — drafting-paper aesthetic. • Wood — polished go-board. • Aurora · Iridescent — the prestige tier, earned with Gauntlet shards. Plus path skins, endpoint markers, and checkpoint markers — all earned in-game. THOUGHTFUL PLAY No timers on regular puzzles. No daily streaks to break. Sketch a route, retract, try again. The puzzle waits. Free to play, with optional rewarded ads. A one-time Premium purchase removes all ads and unlocks bonus coins plus a cosmetic starter pack.

Tip a clay pot and its water runs along carved channels in stone. A full pot lets the water pass. A pot with room drinks it. A wooden rocker turns the water, then swings the other way. When every plant has drunk its fill, the garden blooms. The order of your pours is the puzzle. A COURTYARD OF CARVED WATER Every garden is a courtyard of pale glazed stone standing in a still pool, and its water is what glows. You see it run, leap a full pot, break into spray on a stone and fall from the edge into the pool. The chapters begin in morning light, pass through dusk and end by moonlight. Play upright or on its side. SEVENTY-FOUR GARDENS, TEN CHAPTERS Each garden is built around one idea and checked by a solver, so every one has a clean answer and no filler. New pieces arrive one at a time: the fallen leaf, the sluice gate, the thirsty plant, the bulb, the water-clock gate and the cracked jar. The later chapters bring time into the garden, counted in pours, never in seconds. LEARN BY PLAYING Whenever a new rule appears, a short card shows it at work, and then you play. Every new piece has its own card, and the Guide shows every piece at work in one place. CALM AND FAIR • No timers, no lives, no ads, no account, and nothing tracks you. • No numbers on the board. Each pot holds a cup for every drop, and a cup glows when it is full. • Undo is free, as often as you like. • Hint says whether a garden can still bloom, and gives one pointer in each garden when you need it. Once you have used it, from chapter two on, you can leave that garden for later and play the next. • Water that is lost is seen to be lost, so you can learn from it. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE The first two chapters, thirteen gardens, are free to play, and so is one of the hard gardens from later in the game, so you can see where it goes. One purchase opens the other eight chapters: sixty gardens and six new pieces, on every iPhone and iPad signed in to your Apple Account. No subscription. No ads. YOUR GARDENS FOLLOW YOU If you use iCloud, your progress is kept in your own account, so your other devices have it too. Twenty Game Center achievements mark each chapter and each new piece, with four more for the longer journey. Nothing asks you to sign in, there is no leaderboard, and there is no prize for fewer pours. FOR EVERYONE Acequia is in English, Arabic, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese. In Arabic the screen reads from right to left while the courtyard stays as it is, and every number in a sentence is written in words. Under Reduce Motion every motion has a calmer form, colour is never the only signal, text stands clear of the water, and the game is dark from its first frame. ABOUT THE NAME Acequia is the Spanish word, from the Arabic as-sāqiya, for the channels that carry water to a courtyard garden. Here they are carved in stone.
