Path Puzzle: Pipe Flow is a calm logic puzzle about paths, loops, and careful rotations. Tap a tile to turn it, lock pieces when you know they are right, and build one connected pipe network with no loose ends outside the board and no closed loops. Play handcrafted starter levels, solve generated boards, and explore square, hex, triangle, octagonal, cube, and other geometric grids. Easy puzzles are quick; harder boards reward deduction, edge marks, and patient logic. Features: - Pipe puzzles built for touch. - Relaxing path puzzle gameplay with no rush timer. - Multiple grid shapes, including square, hex, triangle, cube, and more. - Lock tiles when you are sure of a pipe direction. - Mark edges as walls or connections for harder logic puzzles. - Generated boards with unique solutions. - Helpful checks for loops, islands, and disconnected pipes. If you like pipe puzzles, path puzzles, flow puzzles, line puzzles, circuit puzzles, or quiet brain games, Path Puzzle gives you a clean logic challenge with a geometric twist.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Path Puzzle at none against The Artisan's shown. Path Puzzle also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
