Zaplink is a neon-styled puzzle game where every move is about wiring circuit tiles together to link the board's exits and get the current flowing. The more exits a network connects, the more it scores. The rules take two minutes to learn, but tracing the most rewarding circuits can keep you busy for a very long time.
The core loop is always the same: each round you're dealt a handful of tiles — your "dice" — to place on the board. Link two or more exits to form a scoring network, run your paths through the center cells for bonus points, and chain rounds together to push for the highest score. You don't have to connect everything — score is what counts. Around this core, Zaplink offers two main modes.
PUZZLE — solo, endless
A long stream of levels to solve one by one, grouped into campaigns that grow steadily harder. Each level is a closed brain-teaser: place all the available tiles to cleanly link the exits. Three challenges stack on every level:
- Flawless — solve it without leaving a single dead end.
- Timed — finish before the clock runs out.
- Combo — nail the flawless clear AND the timer in the same run.
Every success earns XP and levels up your account. A live projected score, a decaying time bonus, personal bests, and worldwide "first clears" to claim — plenty of reasons to replay each level for perfection. Stuck? A hint can reveal one piece of the solution, even offline. Puzzle mode plays entirely without a connection.
BOARD — online multiplayer
The same board, but against real opponents. Three ways to play:
- Quick match — a casual, no-stakes 1v1 with automatic matchmaking on one of the preset boards. Perfect for warming up.
- Ranked — a 1v1 that counts: your Elo rating rises and falls with every match, tracked on a global leaderboard. Thanks to asynchronous ghosts (real games replayed on the same seed), you always face an opponent at your level — with no waiting.
- Custom game — build your match from scratch, solo or multiplayer, or join a public one. You control everything: board size, number of exits and rounds, hand composition (normal, advanced, and special tiles), time per round, live mode or hidden boards, spectators, mini-objectives, speed bonus, and more. A configuration seed lets you save and relaunch an identical game in one click.
Board mode also includes War of Networks: a team-based clash on a shared board, with object tiles like bombing runs to sabotage the other side.
Always more to unlock
Earn coins as you progress, level up, and finish at the top of the ladders to fill your daily pot. Customize your profile with frames — including a rank frame that evolves from bronze to master with your Elo. Achievements to collect, a shop, leaderboards: there's always a reason to plug back in.
One circuit, two directions, endless ways to wire it.
