Slitherlink is a logic puzzle game created in 1989 by Japanese publisher Nikoli, famous for creating Sudoku, among many other puzzle games.
This is an adaptation of the game, inspired by Puzzle Series Vol. 5: Slitherlink on the Nintendo DS, which was never released outside of Japan.
The Nintendo Switch version is a rewrite of one of the author's previous projects for the Dingoo A320.
Features
- 456 levels in four sizes: 5x5 (easy), 7x7, 10x10, 20x20 (hard).
- Save state.
- Undo function.
- And more.
User guide
In SlitherlinkNX, you draw lines on a grid to create a meandering path, following the rules:
- The path must form a single loop, without crossing itself or branching.
- The numbers indicate how many lines surround each cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines.
There is one unique solution for each level. You can draw small x's on segments that cannot be connected. You should be able to find the solution by logical deduction only, without guessing.
For Slitherlink beginners, it is strongly recommended to consult the Wikipedia page, especially chapter Solution methods, which is a big help at the start.
