Toad Line is an intellectual game about problem solving. Fixing what’s broken. Thinking outside the box. In this physics based puzzle game, you must draw a path for toad to follow while avoiding any obstacles the level has to throw at you. Collect all the butterflies before reaching the pack of flies at the end, and winning the level. Progress as far as your intelligence will take you. If you get stuck, there are hints that will make themselves available after a certain number of fails.

Get the ball to the other side of the screen avoiding falling into the holes. Each level will add a new hole that will make the path harder for our protagonist. Use the device's tilt sensors to move the ball and prevent it from falling. How level can you get?, share it with the rest of the players and reach the number one.
