the best game so far. it is playable
- Eric M · v1.5.5
I’ve been playing this game for many years and still enjoy it! I know the update wasn’t loved by many people, but I just appreciate that the creator is still active in its maintenance. Some of my other favorite puzzle games from high school are unusable due to lack of updates and incapability. But Lyne has always been there and will be for quite some time it seems. I love this game and enjoy my daily puzzles. My only wish is for more new puzzles!
- tiffiecatt · v1.5.5
I love the twists every now and then. I paid upfront and was not so sure it would be as interesting as the game I played back in 2014-15 but iy turned out captivating enough for people to get curious around me about what gets all my attention now. Amd zero ads. Merci 👏👏👏 [UPDATE] I did all the 625 sets 💀 In one week 🙆♂️ It was worth my penny and all fun. I hope the daily challenges will prove challenging in new ways 😌 Merci 🥂

UPDATE 3/25/26: So, up until last fall this was a 5-star game in my book for years. Then I downgraded it to 4 stars with the tenth anniversary update (see below). I am now decreasing the starts further because at least twice so far in 2026, the game has updated and wiped my progress. Today I am back to it asking my language, all settings reset to default, and zero progress. Which means no daily games till I replay, yet again, the ridiculously easy first levels. This is wasting my time. What the heck is going on with this game? This is a prime example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” ——— I’ve played this game for I don’t know how many years and would have always given it 5 stars until this tenth anniversary update. I only play the demanding puzzles and was greatly disappointed to see that there are now fewer puzzles per day. There always used to be 25 puzzles per level and then there were 16. Now today there were 8?! Why have the number of puzzles decreased? I understand if it’s effort to make new ones but certainly some could be recycled from the past - who’s going to remember? Thank you for reading this.
- tfb2182 · v1.5.5
One of my favorite games.
- Ryan Patterson · v1.5.5
great puzzle game and no ads
- A Google user · v1.5.5
Love this game.
- Lisabeth Racine · v1.5.5
Well, this was an awesome game. It won't run anymore. Front splash screen freezes, then nothing. Really too bad. Was very fun. Deleted.... Update 11/29/25: Works now, thanks!
- Scott Emerson · v1.5.5
This was my favorite game. Every morning I did the daily challenge. It was my routine. The new format is not as enjoyable and so few puzzles per day. Also the colors and format is dizzying. Please bring back old format and the daily 40 (60 on weekends) puzzles. Please!!
- Lyne Addict · v1.5.5
Love the game itself, but after getting to pack C my progress was reset. The packs remain unlocked but it's as if I haven't played any of them. Also, it seems to take an abnormally long time to load. I can't imagine how much longer it might take if I had any less RAM. It would be great if these issues were fixed.
- Stan Silverman · v1.5.5
Please bring back the old format where there were 25-50 puzzles per day( and 75 on weekends) - the new format has too few puzzles and isn’t challenging enough. Also I agree with a previous review that the screen format is too small and needs to be bigger especially for those of us who play on our phones…otherwise still my favorite game and well worth the price I paid for it years ago! Update 11/3: appreciate the new larger screen format…thank you! Update 11/9: After another week of the new puzzle format, I’m still not liking the decreased number of puzzles…doesn’t feel challenging enough…can’t zone out and relax my mind when there are only 4-20 (not always challenging) puzzles to solve…
- Lyne fan · v1.5.5
Part of my morning routine for years has been working the Lyne puzzles which become progressively more challenging through the week. I am very much enjoying the major tenth anniversary update and recommend Lyne to anyone who likes this kind of puzzle.
- hawkeflown · v1.5.3
I have played this game for at least 20 years. My Granddaughter was just a little girl when I started playing. We played it together in the dark, so we wouldn’t wake anyone up. I would finish all the stages from A-Z. Then I would be able to reset it back to Zero. It went to 999. I could start over on Zero. It was so exciting. This was the game I played every day. Lots of times, I played this game when I got home very late with my Husband like 5:30 am. I had to play it. Every stage I passed was so exciting. I have been bragging about this game for so long. I even have it on my iPad. Today is 10-22-25. I started playing my game. Everything has changed. The format is smaller now. I don’t understand why this has happened. When I got a new phone, I had to pay $2.99 for it. So, why isn’t it the same? I am so frustrated by this. It’s disturbing to me. Please put. It back the way it was.
- Jojothecojo · v1.5.3
Game recently appeared on my list [note: Play Pass]. Installs then repeatedly crashes upon start. Looks interesting but: I can't play If the developer won't update. :-(
- Carrie R
Crashes on start on S24 Ultra. Please fix as if love to play the game.
- Gerhard Zelenka · v1.4.6
This is one of my favourite phone games. Delightful to look at, with lovely sound. The difficulty increases at a steady rate. Infinite puzzles once you finish the set levels. A great stress reliever.
- Crystal Adams · v1.4.6
Game no longer will open for me :( Update: it works now, yay!
- Jackie · v1.4.6
A very nice puzzle game. With the audio and play, it feels like something aliens might bring us. Kind of smokey, electric audio. Very cool. Been playing for years. However, on Android 15 it doesn't reliably start after a reboot. May take a few reboots before it will start.
- Andrew Bennett · v1.4.6
Make it work
- Ann Bottorff · v1.4.6
no longer works
- Patrick Wilcox · v1.4.6
Game now crashes on start, not usable even though i paid for it
- Felix Wugg · v1.4.6
This is such a relaxing yet fun game. It challenges you after a certain amount of levels, but it’s a puzzle worth playing. After mastering levels, you end up being able to change the game skin- and they’re such pretty colors! I want to thank whoever invented this game. I’ve had to play the game all over again after switching phones, but it’s been a pleasure every time. After having this phone for the past couple of years, I finally reached 999 points. It was a very sweet “thank you for playing”. So bittersweet; but even though I won’t make it to 1,000 points, I’ll still be playing the daily levels. And that’s the other thing! Once you’ve finished all of the levels, there are daily games whose difficulty changes depending on the day of the week. I absolutely cherish this game. It honestly calms my anxiety and is a great distraction from the stressors of life. To say I’d highly recommend this game is an understatement. It’s provided countless moments of entertainment and joy for me. Thank you to those who made this game. It’s an absolute hidden gem and a treasure.
- Goofy Gooch · v1.3.2
Wonderful game, better on Steam though!
- Vilhelm Hokkanen
Have been playing this game since it's inception. Love it
- Agnes Sokolich · v1.4.6
Another phone update and the app stops working.
- A Google user · v1.4.6
Crashes on startup
- Trnod P · v1.4.6
It's good.
- Dropped Games · v1.4.6
I have some really good memories with this game and now that I have it on Android I can continue to experience them. There is a slight issue with the outline on the screen obscuring some text, and the game feels a bit overpriced, but I think it's worth it overall even if I've played it already.
- Jack Stringer (Jack5) · v1.4.6
Reinstalled after not playing for a long time. It starts the game up.... and stays on loading, if I touch the screen it closes.
- Nor Laer · v1.4.6
The most difficult can be simetimes be interesting to solve, but Mon-Thu, is boring. It tries to make you register as google play user. For the last couple of days, I cannot start the game at all - bye, my patience has been used up!!
- Kurt Mielke · v1.4.6
The greatest puzzle game I've ever played. beautiful and amazing music. Would love more additions.
- mansoor ali · v1.4.6
After a couple of times playi.g this game it suddenly stop working!
- Dre Reinhard
Very interesting! I can only compare it to the games where you connect the colored dots withour crossing any lines but with a twist! I decided to try this game for what seemed lime 15 minutes. And just looked at the clock to see it had been 3 HOURS! Definitely a keeper but you could make it a little more complex, make it so there is some hex movement perhaps? Keep up the great work!
- Aylah MacAnnadh · v1.4.6
I JUST love it!!
- Shin Ramen · v1.4.6
Great puzzle game, even if (like me) you aren't normally a fan of the genre. For the most part, the gameplay is intuitive yet complex, and the minimalist audio is perfectly suited to the game's aesthetic. Small complaint: there's a significant difficulty spike around the last six sections of levels that (for me) pushed the game from fun casual distraction into a source of irritation and perplexity. The daily challenges help with this somewhat but even they could do with more customization.
- Alex Baker · v1.4.6
Game won't load, and keeps crashing on opening, was fine until 08/02/22
- Sarah Pipe · v1.4.6
Great little puzzle game. Pretty nice UI and nice sound design. Only complaint is that you can only "undo" moves from one end, so it's hard to tweak your solution without redoing the whole thing.
- Michael Giuffrida · v1.4.6
very relaxing game
- Rubix Head The Shape shifter
Top notch puzzle game
- Zen · v1.4.6
My favorite puzzle game ever. I love the art style.
- Q Q · v1.4.6
i’ve owned this game since it was released. Starbucks had a promotion for it to download free. it’s gone on so many flights and road trips, as well as just helped me relax laying in bed. the puzzles are make my brain happy. i typically solve the more complex within about 4 or 5 tries. if i find one that’s especially challenging, i step away for a bit, then return with fresh eyes to solve it immediately. the sounds are soothing. currently on my fourth play through, on stages G H I. i will go about 6mo to a year between play through a so as to not always be just immediately repeating the puzzles. usually enough time to forget them and replay them. thanks for such a wonderful distraction.
- Shinka RX8 · v1.3.2
Cloud save not supported.
- Deanna Herald · v1.4.6
Elegant in it's simplicity while still being able to provide a challenge.
- Matthew “Nurdzrool” Miller · v1.4.6
I enjoy this so much I bought it on Steam and here. Extremely relaxing and stimulating for my brain. My only complaint is cloud saving never works, so I have to start over from scratch on every new device.
- Brian Hudson · v1.4.6
it's kind of dull. the puzzles all start to feel very same-y very quick, long before you reach any of the randomly generated levels. there's never a solution to a puzzle that makes you rethink what you can do with the mechanics or anything like that; most puzzles can be solved with simple trial and error. you could probably do a lot worse for $3 though.
- Hayden · v1.4.6
Underrated and unappreciated, this game is fn fantastic
- Sean Carnes · v106
A bit tedious after a while. The puzzle concept is a variation on nodes and networks (so similar to bridge or pathway/connector puzzles). The artwork is clean and minimalistic, but it doesn't really add anything to the genre and doesn't have many additional elements to the puzzles (at least as far as I've gotten - I have not beaten the game yet). It's not particularly difficult, but it's not straightforward either. Solving puzzles eventually gets to be monotonous.
- Wei Styer · v1.4.6
This is my stress relief game, I just forget about everything when I play ,I had it for a long time I just don’t remember when I got it .My hand get used to all the moves. And I like it 👍
- The Vib Chacha · v1.3.2
Seriously addictive!
- Laura Tyree
Fun game.
- Brian Frazier · v1.4.6
Have been playing LYNE so ce it was first released. Got through the 999 levels initially but continue to be entertained with the daily puzzles when I’m sleepless or just wanting to relax and take a short break.
- Jojoverna · v1.3.2
I purchased this game way back when it was on Steam. As soon as I saw that it was available on Android, it struck me how the game would fit perfectly on a mobile phone. I was not disappointed. This game is great, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a simple puzzle challenge.
- Emmet Coyle · v1.4.6
I usually find puzzle games to be pretty dull on the app store. This game immediately gripped me, and is keeping my attention longer than than I'd like it to! It's relaxing and simple, yet hard enough for a comfortable challenge.
- Luke Smith · v1.4.6
Fantastic gane, very relaxing
- Kyle Jones · v1.4.6
So cool! My 8 year old loves playing this too!
- Kristen Furman · v1.4.6
Very enjoyable game, challenging yet simplistic makes you think but also relaxing, no time limits and it doesn't get so difficult to make me want to give up. Love the sound effects as well
- Sharon Gregg · v1.4.6
Yes! I like it! My brain needs stimulation! This will work! Great job devs!!
- Tisha Beedle · v1.4.6
Calm and relaxing
- christopher Saechao · v1.4.6
Finally we got cloud saving! Thanks for this amazing game.
- Guillaume · v1.4.6
Superb game. Thanks for implementing cloud save support !
- Alexis L. · v1.4.6
It's fun at first but after a bit, the puzzles don't get any more difficult and there are no new mechanics. At which point you're basically stuck solving the same puzzle over and over and over.
- Andy O. · v1.3.2
I’ve been playing this game for years! I completed all of the levels many moons ago, but I still play the daily puzzles every day, especially toward the end of the week when the daily puzzles are harder. I have to say, however, that I’m a little disappointed that the point tally doesn’t go beyond 999. It’s a small thing in an otherwise extraordinary puzzle game!
- MindieKaye · v1.3.2
Fabulous game that’s well designed, simple and calming.
- Banner89 · v1.3.2
Love this game! The chill tunes that go along with it that are Really relaxing!
- in2now · v1.2.0
I play this every night before i go to sleep
- YSP is cool · v1.2.0
From a design perspective alone it can’t be skipped. The gameplay will make you laugh and scream. Get hundreds and enlarge your sphere.
- DarkStarEventHorizon · v1.2.0
It's meditation in a game. Highly recommend.
- echo hello world · v1.2.0
Thanks for the compatibility update! I've owned and still continue to play Lyne over the nearly 4 years since it was introduced in the App Store. Like all the better puzzle games, at first glance Lyne seems deceptively simple but your soon discover that it can be mentally challenging despite it's simplicity of play. It will have your thinking cap going full blast with the enjoyment it provides from solving the numerous puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty. If you don't have Lyne on your iOS device, I strongly recommend you download it. In my opinion, it should be ranked as a "Classic" of it's genre on the App Store.
- iwolf2 · v1.2.0
I love this basic little game! Distracting challenging and has a great rhythm to it. Keeps you moving forward. Love it
- p.ski · v1.2.0
This is absolutely one of my favorite phone games. It's perfect for playing for a few minutes at a time while waiting in line somewhere or whatever. Hugely appreciate the compatibility update so I can still play it when iOS 11 rolls around.
- Drex2234 · v1.2.0
I've been loving this brain teaser for quite a while. I play intermittently, and have yet to work through all levels. It is one of those thinking games that helps me unwind. And sometimes success seems to come more easily when I don't think about the puzzle so much. Thanks for the compatibility update. I was tired of iOS whining about that.
- Abmacdee · v1.2.0
My singular complaint are the complaints my phone gives me that this app needs to be updated otherwise it could make the phone run slow. If the Dev could push a tiny update to solve this I would be in love!
- Banoony · v1.1.0
According to apple we need an update to continue playing. This is my favorite game!!!
- Srodrig2005 · v1.1.0
Great soothing puzzler to waste time or for a quick mental challenge. I know you're done with the app but please update to 64 bit so it will. E compatible going forward. Would hate to lose this one.
- Mercii87 · v1.1.0
Puzzles are challenging enough to stay engaged and easy enough that you never get stuck on a level too long. The game rules a simple so you can focus on playing. The UI is simple but elegant. Would like to see a clock at bottom of the game because you can really lose track of time when playing.
- Adcbhdd · v1.1.0
Other games I've downloaded I've spent a little time on and then either got tired of them or too stressed or frustrated. I've had this game for a couple of years now, have played 350 games, and it is my main source of time passing when I'm waiting for something or someone. As others have said, there really is not much stress and the music is very soothing. Yet, sometimes when you're done with puzzle, you feel like you've conquered the world. Love it!
- Seth Oserin · v1.1.0
Finished all of the levels long ago. The daily levels keep me playing this game. One of my favorite iOS games.
- debusoh · v1.1.0
As someone who suffers from a barrage of mental trauma (PTSD, anxiety, & depression) this game has worked wonders. I'm not saying it's cured anything, however it has become my go-to coping mechanism.
- thenativeme · v1.1.0
Well thought out minimalist design. Daily puzzle sets are a welcome addition. Could use more sounds ;) thx
- Oyaji_82 · v1.1.0
This is a challenging brain game that's fun and addictive! The higher the level, the more challenging it becomes, but it is soooooo rewarding! I play it as often as I can and I am now on level "P"! You will not regret getting this game!
- Wheaten1 · v1.1.0
This little game is very cleaver and very addicting. I don't like to try the really hard one's because they make my head hurt and I can't get through a full set. But I try to do the dailys whenever I can. Very nice game.
- job--seeker · v1.1.0
AWSOME!!!!
- Djkdjsjjdjdj · v1.1.0
I play this game off and on over the years. Still fun to play for a few minutes at a time. Great for when your are waiting for __________. (Plane, train, friend, etc)
- slbond2013 · v1.1.0
calming... love and look forward to having time with it. Thank you Lyne developers.
- Sean Cairne · v1.1.0
I have never written a review, but this game is sooooo good! Addictive, and just annoying enough to make you want to never stop playing it (if that makes sense). I'm almost done with level F. More levels, please!
- dmfzo · v1.1.0
Beautifully made. Very peaceful, even though some of the puzzles have me staring at the screen for hours. With new puzzle sets every day, this game is well worth the price.
- eggshellsleuth · v1.1.0
I love this game and made it to 999 triangles. Now I'm bored with it since I beat the game. I wish there were other challenges/achievements to keep me playing, otherwise I'm not playing towards some goal.
- ChrisDoubleYa · v1.1.0
Brilliant and engaging game!
- Srbsawl · v1.1.0
It would seem that this simple game would be boring or very easy, but its simplicity also makes it challenging. A fun, entertaining game that's easy to get addicted to.
- Milou407 · v1.1.0
Daily is the way to go.. Love the few minutes of relaxation this game provides!
- Lilfrowggie · v1.1.0
Easy to learn and a game you can keep coming back to for a new challenge.
- Nmkjhvg · v1.1.0
I would wake up in the morning, get my coffee and either at home or once I got to work, sit down and go through the dailies (after beating all the levels previously) for a daily dose of getting my brain going. Helps me get my head right in the morning. Wish there were more levels!
- Rockhound30 · v1.1.0
My daughter can't believe how hard I work at this game. But it's so much fun and so relaxing to pull it up and use it in the middle of a busy day. Highly recommend it.
- Ianbond7 · v1.1.0
If you want to practice speaking to aliens, play this game. How we connect, use connectors and match objects could be a language that all life forms share. Plus, it is insanely relaxing...
- Posarella · v1.1.0
It calms me to play. I just wish there were more levels outside the daily maps.
- Limeywade · v1.1.0
I love spending a few minutes on this game whenever I'm studying. It's not distracting but soothing and calm.
- 1996e · v1.1.0
I was lucky enough that Starbucks offered this for free, otherwise I may have not bought it. After playing it though, I feel that it's totally worth the price. It's meant to be a game that you can play to unwind just as someone would do crosswords, sudoku, or search word puzzles. I think the part I like best is that it gets harder but not so much so that it's not fun and too much of a challenge or real thinker. Lastly, there are no in-app purchases to completely the puzzles or get the most out of the game or ads; I guess that's the up side to purchasing it, or my case for free. Thanks Tom and Starbucks!! 😊📲☕️
- Runway fan 1-present · v1.1.0
This is great puzzle game - it reminds me of Flow Free and yet it is quite different. The careful attention to visual and sound design ensure each visit to Lyne will be pleasant.
- catslanderer · v1.1.0
Innovative, challenging, satisfying, beautiful

Fun and addicting with just the right amount of casual, non-stressful gameplay.
