Break the lines: Dots Puzzle

The dots are already connected. Your job is to break them.

Break The Lines is a one-stroke puzzle game with a simple, ruthless rule: drag a single line across the board, and every pipe it crosses is severed. Sever them all — in one cut, without ever crossing your own line.

It sounds easy. It stops being easy fast.

Every tile you enter costs a move, and the bar at the top is counting down what you have left. Any route will clear the board eventually. Only the sharpest one clears it on par and pays out all three stars. Finding it is the whole game.

Take as long as you like. There is no timer, no lives, no pressure — just you and the board. Let go of your line whenever you want; it stays exactly where you left it. Drag backwards to undo a step, pick it up anywhere to carry on, or scrap it and start clean. Nothing is ever lost.

Seven mechanics, layered one at a time:

• STEEL — grey pipes can't be cut. They are solid walls. Go around.
• REINFORCED — striped pipes take two cuts. Cross both halves.
• ONE-WAY — a marked seam opens in one direction only. Come at it wrong and you're stuck.
• ICE — no turning. Whatever direction you entered, you carry straight on.
• TOLL — this tile costs 2 moves, not 1. It doesn't block you. It just makes that route expensive.
• LOCKED — sealed and solid, until you cut its key pipe. Then it springs open.
• CHAINED — two pipes wired together. Cut either one, and both snap.

By the final levels they all arrive at once, on one board, with a move limit that leaves no room to be clever twice.

Game features:

• 100 handcrafted levels, hand-tuned from first cut to the last gauntlet
• One clean rule to learn, a hundred boards that bend it
• Every level has a perfect solution — three stars are always there to be found
• No timer, no lives, no energy meter, no punishment for thinking
• Undo any step just by dragging back
• Stuck? Hints are there when you want them
• Bright neon boards, satisfying snaps, chunky one-thumb controls
• Play anywhere, offline — no connection needed

If you like line puzzles, connect games, one-stroke and unicursal puzzles, logic games, brain teasers, or anything that rewards patience over speed, this one will get its hooks in.

One cut. No mercy. Break them all.
