Welcome to the world of Pathweaver!

In Pathweaver, embark on a challenging journey where strategy and precision are key. Navigate through 25 18 progressively intricate levels by utilizing a variety of unique tiles to build a path to your goal. Each group of levels introduces new characters and tile types, including Blue Ice that melts away with a single step, Orange Rock that hardens into Grey, Beige Sand that refuses to connect with itself, and ethereal Purple Tiles that defy gravity.

You must use the mouse to drag and place tiles strategically, ensuring a safe passage for your characters to reach the end tile. Each character can only interact with tiles of their own color, making careful planning essential. Avoid falling into the abyss by ensuring that the tiles are connected to solid Grey Anchors and make sure that none of your paths crumble beneath you.

The game features five distinct categories of levels, each increasing in complexity, from single-character challenges to intricate multi-character puzzles involving all tile types. With each progression, you'll face new obstacles and must adapt to ever-changing mechanics to successfully complete all 25 18 levels. Can you master the art of tile placement and guide your characters to victory?
