I didn’t expect a puzzle game to become part of my daily routine, but this one is deceptively simple: you just draw a single loop through a grid using only numbers as clues, think Minesweeper. But once you dive in, it’s like unlocking a secret language of spatial reasoning. What really hooked me was the variety of modes. Square grids are the classic warm-up, but then you have Hex, Kite, and even Cairo modes, each with its own twist. It keeps reinventing itself just when you think you’ve mastered it. Some puzzles are simple, others made me question my choices in a good way. There are three modes of difficulty with six-sized layouts just waiting to scratch that itch for clever problem-solving with handcrafted levels and an infinite mode. Truthfully, I lost track of time without realizing it. It's perfect if you just want to zone out and challenge yourself without any pressure. They’ve become a part of my daily routine: just me and a loop waiting to be discovered. So, if you like logic puzzles or just want something to sharpen your mind, then this one is a gem. It’s nothing flashy...just quietly brilliant. [quote]For more puzzle game reviews, news and everything puzzle-related, fol…

This puzzle game is perfect for short play sessions, something you can enjoy during a coffee break by completing one or two stages at a time. There’s no overarching story or long-term objective; your only goal is to solve all the preset puzzles. While the puzzles must be completed in sequence, there are five different grid shapes available, each with its own set of challenges. If one type of puzzle becomes too tricky, you can easily switch to another grid and continue playing another puzzle. The gameplay mechanics are straightforward. You’re presented with a grid made up of tiles, some of which contain numbers. The default grid is rectangular, but you can choose from four additional shapes for variety. Regardless of the grid, the aim is to draw a continuous line or loop by following the numerical clues. Each number indicates how many edges of that tile must be part of the line. For example, a “0” means no edges should contain a line, while a “3” means three edges must be filled. Tiles without numbers can be used freely and often play a crucial role in connecting sections of the loop. To make progress easier to track, the game automatically grays out a number once its condition ha…

I stared for over 200 hours on a static screen filled with nothing but colored lines and numbers, and I seriously wondered why I could not tear myself away from it. The thrilling joy of completing a level, the terrifying realisation that you made a mistake an hour earlier and had to redo the whole thing - I am glad I experienced both, but I am also glad that I can finally leave it behind and, you know, play other games, or live, I guess. Great game, but maybe not the healthiest for people with obsessive tendencies.

It's even better than the previous one. I essentially 100%ed the game. But, my save, again, was corrupted. This wiped out my progress before I got the last two achievements, including the achievement for finishing all levels. So, even though I was still able to get all other completion achievements, because the last one was finished after the save wipe, the 100% achievement did not detect my having full completion. And, I don't want to go through the trouble of playing almost the whole game over again, just for that one achievement.

I played this game almost a hundred hours, so it is well worth playing. However, I uninstalled it as the later puzzles are too difficult and somewhat buggy, in that your lines disappear eliminating your options to go another route. Although the games was fun and a good brain challenge, it simply became too stressful for me. If more players take interest and someone creates a guide, I would gladly reinstall and try this again. The dev is very quick to help when needed, and I wish him all the best with this game.
