  • Basics
    • This is a path making connect the dots game where you must connect each colored dot to the other dot of the same color.
    • Your paths can turn any number of times but lines may not cross over each other.
    • Some similar spatial puzzle games require all grid cells be colored in. However in this game you do not need to color in ever single gray dot on the grid.
  • Levels
    • This game has 40 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time
    • Winning vs losing
      • You win a level by connecting every colored dot on the grid to the other dot of the same color.
      • You lose if your current lines make it impossible to connect a remaining pair of dots.
      • Rather than showing a “you lose” or “level failed” screen it simply becomes impossible to make the next needed moves, so you have to press the level restart button in the upper right.
  • Tips
    • Quite often it is best to start with dots that are on the perimeter and connect them with a line that runs along the perimeter.
    • Next try to go with either:
      • dots just inside from the perimeter that are now are on the perimeter of the remaining dot matrix, or
      • dots in the middle that are near each other.
    • Some levels may violate the above rule of thumb. If you get stuck on a stage try to use a different strategy or starting point.
      • Don’t be afraid to use the level restart button if you get stuck.
      • If you see you made a mistake press the level restart button & try again with a different strategy than the one which failed.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like path making games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
