Game overview
CrossPath is a line-drawing logic puzzle with one strict rule: every numbered diamond can send out exactly as many lines as its number, no more and no less. You drag paths through the open squares, route around blocked cells, and try to leave no diamond over or under its quota. Boards grow tighter as you advance, and the undo button turns the whole thing into a thinking game rather than a guessing one.
This title is best suited to players who enjoy pure grid deduction.
How to play CrossPath
- Read each diamond's number to see how many lines it needs
- Drag a line into the open squares beside it
- Route around blocked cells and other diamonds' paths
- Undo and re-plan when a diamond ends up short or over
Controls
- Drag: Draw a line from a numbered diamond
- Undo button: Take back the last line
