Link Flow

Each level of Link Flow shows a set of dots and a pattern to recreate. You build that pattern yourself, drawing lines from one dot to another until your lines match the shape the level is asking for.

The developer describes a minimalist look and says the patterns grow more complex as you progress, to the point where you need to think a few moves ahead rather than connecting dots at random. It is pitched by its maker as both calming and demanding. Two buttons deal with mistakes, and they do different jobs. Undo takes back only your most recent connection. The reset button clears the board and starts the level again from nothing. A single wrong line late in a pattern therefore costs one tap to fix, while a plan that went wrong from the first stroke is better cleared away entirely.

On a computer, click a dot and drag to another dot to draw a line between them. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe to do the same. Keep adding connections until your lines reproduce the pattern the level wants. Press the back button to remove the last line, or the reset button to begin the level again.

Compare your drawing with the target after every few connections rather than only at the end. If one line is wrong, the back button removes just that line and leaves the rest standing, so there is no need to restart. Keep the reset button for when the whole approach needs changing.

A connect-the-dots pattern puzzle. Portrait frame (720 by 1280). The developer gives mouse controls for computers and touch controls for phones and tablets, and both undo and restart buttons are available.

All Dot Connect Puzzle Game asks you to join every dot in a single touch, with packs and a daily challenge, and Dots Line wants every point connected without going over the same line twice.
