📝 Game Description

"Number Maze" is a minimalist brain teaser. The interface is typically a grid board scattered with a few numbers (e.g., 0, 1, 2...). Your goal is crystal clear: start from the lowest number (usually 0 or 1) and draw a continuous line connecting to the next number in ascending order, all the way to the final digit. The catch is that your path must fill every single empty square on the grid without leaving any gaps.

🕹️ Gameplay Mechanics

Simple rules, but increasing spatial complexity:

1. Sequential Connection: You must connect in order: 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3. You cannot skip directly from 0 to 2; you must traverse the path in between.
2. Fill the Grid: Connecting the numbers isn't enough. The path length between two numbers must be exactly long enough to cover all the empty tiles between them. If you connect the numbers but leave empty spots, you fail.
3. No Crossing: The line cannot cross itself or backtrack.
4. Scaling Difficulty: Early grids are small (e.g., 5x5) with few numbers. Later levels feature larger grids, wider gaps between numbers, and obstacles (walls), requiring maze-like navigation.

💡 Strategy Guide

• Spot the "Choke Points": Look for corner tiles or dead ends that have only one way in and out. These tiles must be filled, so the path through them is often predetermined. Solving these first clears up the rest of the puzzle.
• Think Backwards: If you are stuck at the start (0), try tracing the path backwards from the final number (e.g., 10). Often, the endpoint has fewer possible routes than the start point.
• Count the Distance: Count the empty squares between two numbers. If there are 5 squares between "1" and "2", your line must wind around to take exactly 5 steps to reach "2".
• Low Risk Trial: There is no timer. You can undo or reset anytime. Don't just stare at the screen; start drawing. Often, the solution reveals itself as you move your finger.

🏆 Editor's Choice

As an editor, I recommend "Number Maze" for its pure logical enjoyment. It strips away all flashy graphics and sounds, leaving only the core pathfinding puzzle. It feels like solving engaging geometric math problems. When you finally draw that winding, perfect path that covers the entire board without a single gap, the intellectual satisfaction is profound. It is perfect for waking up your brain during a commute.
