Head to head
About

Line Link

Features
Read full description

Connect matching color dots and fill the whole board with clean, unbroken paths. Line Link is a color path puzzle where every route matters. Draw from one endpoint to the matching endpoint, keep the lines from blocking each other, and complete the board step by step. Small grids are quick and satisfying; larger boards, hex layouts, daily boards, weekly packs, and timed runs add more ways to test your planning. When a path goes wrong, undo it, reset the board, or use a hint and look again. The fun comes from that final moment when every color fits and the board clicks into place.

About

Dot Link

Features
Read full description

Connect two dots of the same color with blocks, and they disappear. That is the whole rule. No tutorial, no sign-up, no timer. โ–  How to play Drag a block from the tray onto any empty space. When two dots of the same color are joined by blocks, the path and both dots clear, and a new pair appears. The round ends when nothing fits anymore. โ–  Longer is better Score grows with the square of the path length. Clear the short way now, or take the long way around for far more. โ–  Chains Complete two pairs in a single move and a chain fires. The score multiplies and the board lights up. โ–  Space is the difficulty Every so often a 3x3 block shows up. You never know when, so you have to keep room for it. That judgement is the game. Works offline. No account needed.
