Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Challenging and fun
I play several Conceptis games that I love, but this may be my favorite. It took me a bit to catch on to how you play, but it was never one of those that was just too frustrating and made me want to give up. I love the design and playability of the game—I’ve tried a couple other apps with this game, and they were definitely more clunky.
I have anxiety disorder, and I find when I’m feeling especially anxious, this game is strangely calming—I think maybe it’s partially having something that has a predictable result.
Once you understand
Once you understand the basic rules of where lines cannot be placed it makes it feel less daunting to complete the puzzles. I play these when I want to relax or detox from social media lately & it’s been really awesome to find a puzzle game that is the right amount of challenging but not overwhelmingly hard that I get frustrated.
I do wish there was an option/tool to choose between adding lines and placing the X markers instead of double tapping to get to the X. Since I start the puzzles marking out where not to place a line it would be easier to be able to switch from one to the other with the click of one button instead of repeatedly double tapping, I hope that makes sense. But other than that I love this app.
Great fun, offers SO many different puzzles
This app is great fun, thought-provoking and offers SO much variety of different puzzles at various difficulty and sizes. You’ll need to read the Help Menu to learn how to play. You’ll want to read (I highly recommend reading) the Techniques section as well, it’s a lifesaver. I even wrote them down to use as a reference until I knew them by heart. I am a Conceptis Puzzles fan and this is one of my favorites.
