Glintpath level 14: a 6 by 6 night board with glowing green, red, blue and yellow paths linking numbered lanterns

Long ads between short puzzles

That's what keeps coming up in the reviews of the most-installed connect the dots game on Google Play. Players love the puzzles and dislike what happens around them.

Minute-long ads, again and again. Several long ads in a few minutes of play.

Turning Wi-Fi off to get peace. Ads that feel more intrusive the longer you play.

Waiting for new levels. Long gaps between new packs, with only the daily left to play.

Glintpath keeps the puzzle and drops the noise

Draw like a pencil

Drag from a lantern square by square: up, down, left or right. Drag back to shorten a path, pick any path up from the middle, or draw across another path to cut it. Back off and the cut path comes back.

Every board can be solved

Boards are generated from a full answer that lights every square, so you never get a dud. Find a different full answer and it counts too. Every lantern shows its number, so you never have to tell colours apart.

Questions

How do I play a connect the dots puzzle?

Each colour has two lanterns. Draw a path between them, moving up, down, left or right. Paths can't cross. Link every pair and fill every square of the board to finish.

Is Glintpath free?

Yes. It's free to download and play, supported by ads. There's nothing to buy and no subscription.

How many ads will I see?

None during a board and no banners. A short ad can appear between boards, at most every third break and never within a couple of minutes of the last one. Videos for coins only play when you tap them.

Can a board be impossible?

No. Every board is built from a full answer that links every pair and lights every square, so there is always a way through.

I'm colour-blind. Can I play?

Yes. Every lantern shows a number, and matching lanterns share it, so you never need to tell colours apart.

Does it work offline?

Yes. No Wi-Fi or mobile data needed to play.

What data does Glintpath collect?

Your progress stays on your phone (and in your own Android backup). Ads come from Google AdMob, which uses your advertising ID. The app has no analytics and no account. Details are on the privacy page.

The lanterns are lit. Your next board is waiting.
