Two puzzles in one app, both about the same simple pleasure: drawing a line that ends up exactly where it should. FLOW Every colour on the board appears twice. Join each pair with one unbroken line โ and cover every square while you do it. Joining the pairs is the easy half; leaving no square empty is the puzzle. Lines run up, down, left and right, never diagonally. Two lines may run side by side or meet corner to corner, but no two lines can ever share a square. Draw through a finished flow and it breaks, ready to be routed again โ that is the normal way out of a tangle, not a mistake. 38 levels ship checked, from a gentle 5ร5 up to a serious 8ร9, across five packs that open as you go. And no pack ends: past the last checked level, new boards are built for you as you reach them, seeded so level 47 is always the same level 47. Every shipped board has exactly one solution, proved before release. CONNECT THE DOTS When you would rather trace than think: start at dot 1 and work upwards, tapping each dot or dragging straight through them, until a picture appears. Four hand-placed pictures across four difficulties โ from ten fat, forgiving dots to a hundred-plus where only the next one is numbered. STARS THAT REWARD THINKING Three stars in Flow means one drag per flow. Redrawing costs a star before slowness does, because sitting and staring at a board is playing it well, not playing it badly. Hints never cost a star: you get three per level, and a hint prefers to point at a square where only one line can possibly go โ so it shows you the reasoning instead of handing over the answer. BUILT TO BE COMFORTABLE โข Number the pairs, so colour is never the only thing telling two flows apart โข Four dot sizes, for when precise tapping is the hard part โข Sound and haptics, each independently off โข Light and dark, following your system โข VoiceOver labelling throughout โข iPhone and iPad QUIETLY OFFLINE No ads. No accounts. No sign-in, no subscription, no timers pushing you to come back. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nothing to upload โ your progress, your best times and your stars live on your device and go nowhere else. The whole game works in aeroplane mode.
