Two puzzle games in one calm, minimal package. Rotate pipes until every line connects, or trace a single unbroken path through every dot. No timers, no lives, no ads — just you and the next satisfying click. CLASSIC — CONNECT THE PIPES Tap a tile to rotate it, and link every circle to its square. Straights, corners, T-junctions and long diagonal runs weave through each other in ways that look impossible right up until the last piece turns and the whole board lights up. 700 levels, starting gentle and growing into genuinely tricky networks. DRAW — ONE LINE, EVERY DOT Begin at 1, finish on the last number, and cover every cell on the board in one continuous stroke. Obstacles block your way. The numbers must be reached in order. Take a wrong turn and the path won't close — but you can always trace back and find another route. 30 levels of pure path-finding. WHY YOU'LL STAY • No timers, no lives, no failing — think for as long as you like • Unlimited hints for when a board simply won't budge • Plays fully offline, anywhere, no account needed • Minimal line art in a warm, dark palette that's easy on the eyes • Your progress saves automatically, level by level ONE PURCHASE, PLAY FOREVER Everything is free for your first 3 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks both modes and all 730 levels for good — no subscription, no ads, no coins, no energy meters, no waiting. Questions or ideas?

Chess Path teaches chess the way you actually learn it: by moving the pieces. No lectures. Every lesson is a position on the board, and you solve it. Start wherever you are. Never played? Begin with how the pieces move. Already play? Jump into forks, pins, back-rank mates, and the hundreds of tactics lessons that follow, arranged as one path from your first move to real checkmates. LEARN 446 interactive lessons. Each one sets up a position, asks you to find the move, and tells you why it works. Get it wrong and Rookie explains it, then lets you try again. PLAY Games against Rookie, a chess engine who is unreasonably invested in your chess. She is proud when you win. When she loses she takes it very badly, and it is very funny. OPENINGS The Italian, Sicilian, French, London, Caro-Kann, Ruy Lopez and more, one move at a time. Every move we teach is the top choice in the masters database, so you learn what strong players actually play. BASICS How each piece moves, what check means, how to win. Short, on the board, done in minutes. YOUR RATING A Chess Path rating that climbs as you finish lessons and win games, and a streak for showing up, so you can see yourself getting better. WORKS OFFLINE Every lesson, every opening, and the engine are on your phone. Airplane mode is fine. Free. No ads.
