Paper Garden

A quiet puzzle about lines that want to meet. No timer, no lives, nothing to lose.

Coming soon to the App Store How it plays

For iPhone and iPad

Two line ends meeting across three tiles, blooming into flowers.

How it plays

Three ideas, and that is the whole game.

1

Place a tile

Every tile carries a few line ends. Drop it anywhere there is room, and turn it so the ends line up with the ends beside it.

2

Close the line

When a line is finished at both ends, it blooms and clears away, leaving the board open again.

3

Take your time

Two tiles score 10, three score 20, four score 40, and it doubles every tile after that. The run only ends when the board is full.
