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.
