About this game

Each puzzle begins with a monochrome grid of numbers, plus a few colored cells marked with an X. Starting at these cells, you must link up numbers in non-decreasing order until the whole grid is filled with color.

Ratings and reviews

Superb in every way, from the quick speed it takes to get to puzzle-solving from app-launch to the pleasant music and audio, to the BACK BUTTON closing the game properly(!), incredibly smooth graphics and responsiveness with cool, auto-building walls, etc. This title has been a pleasure to play every time. Is it just me or is 325 unsolvable, though? It has 5 dead-ends but only 4 colors. Edit: All right, it's ridiculous how creative some solutions are, despite every level having the same ruleset. Thanks for the guide; this game is definitely one way to stave off dementia!
