Read full descriptionHide full description
Find the one path that makes everything fit. SUMI PATH is a quiet number-path puzzle for iPhone, inspired by washi paper and sumi ink. Three simple rules: ⢠Connect numbers that add up to 10 ⢠Move up, down, left or right; paths cannot cross or share a cell ⢠Fill every cell except obstacles to clear the board Connecting the pairs is only the beginning. To fit every path on the board, you will need to read ahead, rethink a route and find the arrangement that works. Every included puzzle has been verified to have exactly one solution. Included: ⢠430 numbered levels ⢠6 practice puzzles ⢠365 daily puzzles that run on-device ⢠A high-difficulty stage every 10 levels ⢠Up to 3 hints per play ⢠Undo, reset and automatic progress saving ⢠Washi, Morning Mist and Evening Ink themes ⢠Clear records, streaks and hint-free stats ⢠Shareable images of in-progress boards before using help, and completed boards ⢠Japanese and English ⢠VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, High Contrast and Reduce Motion support Free to play: Levels 1ā40, practice, daily puzzles, hints, all themes and statistics are free. Full Edition (one-time in-app purchase): Unlock Levels 41ā430 and answer previews except on each 10-level high-difficulty stage. Progression still matters: each new section opens after you clear the preceding high-difficulty stage. No subscription. The current price is shown in the in-app purchase screen. There is no time limit or timer during play. There are no ads, accounts, analytics, tracking or developer-operated servers. All puzzles and hints work offline, and progress is stored on your device. A connection to Apple may be needed to load product information, purchase or restore. Take it one path at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SUMI PATH at none against Masyu's 1. SUMI PATH also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Masyu's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
