Lyne is a puzzle game about connecting lines without crossing paths in ever more challenging and creative ways, divided into three colors. The game is very simple and fairly entertaining while also jogging your mind. Lyne has a whopping six hundred and fifty stages, twenty-five times each letter of the alphabet, and a daily challenge if you want more content. Sure, the majority of the stages are not challenging, but the final stages of each letter can be very deceiving. This is not only a game; it's a hobby in itself that will take a significant amount of time and patience to complete.
This game takes one idea — draw lines through the nodes, visiting each node the required number of times — and explores it to the end. There are 650 levels (26 × 25) to solve! It did feel like a huge amount of work to plow through. But at the same time, the sheer volume gave me space to develop a "feel" for solving these puzzles — something I maybe wouldn't have happened if the game consisted only of hand-made gimmicky levels. Another big question for me was the puzzle design. The puzzles don't feel handcrafted, they feel more like automatically generated. Which, honestly, I found a bit disappointing. But then I thought of Minesweeper: its boards are randomly generated too, and nobody considers it an issue. Here it may be deliberate: the volume of puzzles gives you a chance to develop an intuition to solve progressivly difficult levels. Overall, a pleasant experience. However, this one is not a game of cleverly designed puzzles full of "aha!" moments. It's a bit of a grind — training yourself to solve puzzles through heaps and heaps of similar-looking levels.
If you have an Android phone, this game exists on it as well, and is well adapted to that support, while not gaining much from being played on PC, I do recommend picking it up on phone instead! Gameplay: 10/10 Graphics & Sound: 8/10 ✔️ Cool minimalistic puzzle gameplay! ✔️ Simple but pleasing graphics and sound effects ✔️ The puzzles are small, not hard to get back into, but there's a lot of content. 💭 I kinda wish the background music was a bit more stimulating. Cool game, probably designed with smartphones in mind, and as such I recommend playing it on one if possible.
