🚗 Journey:
I turned a classic schoolyard pen-and-paper game into a minimalist 2D digital prototype. No childish tutorials—just pure, geometric logic.
Remember that game we used to play on the back of our notebooks? The rule was simple: Connect the dots to form the pattern, but you can never lift your pen, and you can never cross your own tracks. 🧣
As a technical artist, I’ve always been fascinated by how simple mechanics can generate complex psychological flow states. In graph theory, this is known as finding an Eulerian Path. ➗
I wanted to bring that exact satisfying, uninterrupted mental flow to a digital screen. So I built Pattern Link.
🧠 Zero Hand-holding: Level 1 starts right where the real puzzle crunch begins.
🕹️ Complete Freedom: Every level is instantly unlocked.
🎨 The Aesthetic: Minimalistic, 2D fluid physics with satisfying tactile haptics.
