History

I’ve always dreamed of making an ultra minimalistic and abstract puzzle game that focuses mainly on puzzle mechanics rather than story. Also I wanted to implement a self-explanatory flow with clear and simple forms and design that doesn't need any interruptive tutorials or explanations. Games by Maciej Targoni inspire me a lot. Also there was an idea to make a game that could be playable on various devices like smart TV or even smart watch. So I have set my own strict rules for that project: The gameplay should be inside a square area with a minimum of UI elements, not a single line of text or even numbers. There should be a map that allows players to skip some levels and sometimes choose the direction of play. And finally the game should be designed in a symmetrical gameplay form: the game mechanics are functional in any device orientation and from any angle of view so there is no need to rotate the device (the UI icons are also symmetrical). All of those rules and limitations gave rise to interesting design ideas and made the quadline what it is today.
