Connect the dots. Fill the grid. Repeat. Link Dots is a calm, premium flow puzzle with 4000 hand-tuned levels โ€” no procedural generation, no level downloads, no nagging ads. Just you, the board, and the satisfying click when every cell falls into place. Each board shows pairs of coloured dots. Drag from one dot to its twin without crossing your own lines, and cover every empty cell along the way. Gentle on the first few levels. Devious on the last few. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข 4000 levels across four difficulty packs โ€” Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. Hand-curated, each one solvable in exactly one way. โ€ข Daily challenge โ€” a fresh puzzle every 24 hours. Solve it to build a streak. โ€ข Global leaderboard โ€” race friends and strangers on every level. Best time wins. โ€ข Hint trails โ€” when you're stuck, watch the path light up showing you how to connect a single pair. Use it as much or as little as you like. โ€ข Plays fully offline โ€” every level, every hint, the daily challenge. Aeroplane mode is fine. โ€ข Cloud sync โ€” sign in with Google or Apple and your progress follows you between phone and tablet. โ€ข Premium polish โ€” gentle haptics, glassy glowing dots, no clutter, no "rate the app" pop-ups. WHY WE BUILT IT THIS WAY We hated puzzle games that interrupt every third level with a 30-second video ad, that lock the next pack behind a paywall, or that download new levels over flaky hotel Wi-Fi. Link Dots is what we wanted for ourselves: 4000 levels in the install, one optional rewarded ad if you'd like a free hint, and nothing else. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily challenge unlocks at midnight in your time zone and stays solvable for the next 24 hours. Solve it to extend your streak. Miss a day and the streak resets โ€” but the next puzzle is already waiting. COMPETE OR JUST CHILL Sign in with Google or Apple to compare your best times on every level with players around the world. Or skip sign-in entirely and play offline โ€” the leaderboard is opt-in, never forced. DESIGNED TO BE FAIR No timers unless you opt in. No lives. No energy meter. No countdown to your next move. Take your time, undo as many moves as you want, and use hints whenever you feel stuck. LIGHTWEIGHT AND RESPECTFUL About 60 MB installed. Runs smoothly on five-year-old phones. We don't ask for your location, contacts, microphone, or camera. The full privacy policy at https://ackbiz.com/link-dots/privacy lists exactly what we collect โ€” short answer: as little as possible, and never sold to anyone. THANK YOU Link Dots is built by a tiny indie team in Pune, India. If you enjoy it, please leave a review โ€” every five-star rating helps us afford to keep building. If you don't, write to chetan@ackplus.com and tell us what to fix. Have fun. Don't take it too seriously. It's just dots.

Guide the flow from IN to OUT before the chamber pressure gets out of control. Rotate each brass pipe to build a connected route. Once the water starts moving, wet pipes lock in place and every bad connection risks a leak. Think ahead, react quickly, and reach the drain before the next surge. FEATURES - 140 handcrafted pipe puzzles - Continuous animated water flow - Pressure, leaks, and escalating urgency - Three-star scoring based on efficient moves - Local achievements and progress tracking - Optional music, sound effects, and haptics - No ads and no account required Early levels teach the basics with generous setup time. Later chambers introduce larger networks, faster flow, and tighter move targets. Every level is solvable, but earning all three stars takes a clean route and a steady hand. Guide the flow. Fill the sea.
