About the Game

Crossing Chains is a line-drawing puzzle game introducing the concept of dynamic crossing points.

Each level presents a constellation of circles that must be chained together, starting from one or more roots.

Chains can cross each other if their lengths match, but the crossing points are not revealed in advance.

What begins as a simple task gradually expands with new possibilities, as you discover that circles can transform chains in different ways…
