App summary

Surround each clue with lines to form one single loop! Each puzzle consists of a rectangular lattice of dots with some clues in various places. The object is to connect the dots surrounding each clue so that the number of lines equals the value of the clue and the lines around all clues form one continuous loop with no crossings or branches. Empty squares may be surrounded by any number of lines.

Slitherlink are addictive loop-forming puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages.

The game features 2-finger tapping for quick zoom, auto complete clues setting and a link segment highlighting option to help to avoid creating separate loops. To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Slitherlink contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

It's a good game to take my mind off of stressful stuff and calm myself and with little to none adds. 10/10 would recommend!

Fun game, but won't let me make purchases after moving internationally. I'm definitely an edge case, but limits my play to once a week for one puzzle.

Very annoying that sometimes you place a cross by double tapping and other times by just a single tap. Can't find a way to disable this. Edit: I know when it happens. My point is, it's annoying. Do what you want with it, for me a reason to uninstall this app.
