Pathaora is a calm logic puzzle for players who want a route they can check, not a result that appears after a few taps. A tile can look close to the right place and still stop the light, because the path continues only where two openings face each other.
Each pattern is a board of tiles. A source sends light toward a target. Tap a straight tile, a corner, a junction, an end, or an arrow to turn it one quarter turn clockwise. Fixed tiles stay as they are. Empty cells and blocked cells never carry light. A side branch can light up and still leave the pattern unfinished, because the target must sit on one continuous route. On later patterns, checkpoints must be reached in order before the target. Arrow tiles let light travel only in the direction they point. Some patterns also limit how many turns you can take. There is no clock.
You win when the board connects the source to the target and includes every required checkpoint. The game checks the route after every turn. A hint names one useful tile from a route that can solve the pattern. Each visit allows three hints. Three stars means you finished at or under the par for that pattern without a hint. Two stars means you finished without a hint. One star means you finished after a hint. Undo puts the board and the turn count back one step. Reset asks before it puts the current pattern back to its opening layout, and your best stars stay saved.
There are 100 patterns in six chapters. First Light teaches a simple turn. Quiet Geometry adds branches. Stone Lines adds fixed tiles and blocked cells. Marked Route adds checkpoints and turn limits. Directed Current adds one way arrows. Master Architect combines the rules. The first pattern is open. Clearing a pattern opens the next one. You can replay any pattern you have opened, and Continue on the home screen returns to a saved visit.
Progress on the home screen shows how many patterns you have cleared and how many stars you have earned, then charts that result by chapter, by complete versus open patterns, and by one-, two-, and three-star finishes.
Route Notes let you keep a short title and note for any pattern, such as the turn order that worked or the tile that slowed you down. Tap Note on the puzzle screen, or Write Route Note after you finish. The note appears on the puzzle screen the next time you open that pattern, and the pattern list marks patterns that have a note. While you type, the fields stay above the keyboard.
Progress, charts, and notes stay on this device. Pathaora does not ask you to sign in, and it does not need a network connection.
Pathaora is for players who like spatial logic, short sessions, and a puzzle they can leave and resume. It suits a quiet break, a commute, or anyone who would rather plan a route than race a timer.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Route Notes: save a short title and note for any pattern. Tap Note on the puzzle screen, or Write Route Note after you finish. Your note appears the next time you open that pattern.
- Typing is easier: the fields stay above the keyboard, a toolbar moves between Title and Note, and tapping outside a field closes the keyboard.
- Progress charts: open Progress on the home screen to see stars by chapter, complete versus open patterns, and your one-, two-, and three-star finishes.
- Fixed an issue where tapping Replay Level after finishing a pattern left the board and buttons unresponsive.
