Linez is a puzzle game about making connections, specifically by drawing lines between coloured faces within a gridded playfield. The player selects one of the two faces they wish to join up before clicking every cell on the journey to its twin, leaving a colour-coded line as they go. The only rules that’ll confound your progress are that none of the lines can cross, every cell must have a face or line, and all connections must be completed before the timer expires.

The control scheme is a little clunky – being able to click a few cells away and have it fill that gap would have been more intuitive, even if only for straight lines – but this is an engaging challenge, especially after the first dozen or so levels when it gets more devious. There was a bug on level 32 in the version we played, but that should be fixed by now.
