Launching next week on Nintendo Switch is Lines X, a relaxing puzzler that could be a great little choice to pass the time.
The game features a series of Numberlink puzzles which have players finding paths to connect coloured tiles in a grid. There are 100 puzzles for you to explore in total, wrapped up in a game which plays host to eight ambient music tracks and multiple colour schemes designed to keep you relaxed as you play.
It'll be launching on Switch for just $0.99, which effectively means that each in-game puzzle is only costing you just under 1¢. Not bad, huh? We've got some screenshots for you to check out below.
The game is expected to release on 27th June according to the Switch eShop and the game's press release, although this official page on Nintendo's site says that it's launching today at the time of writing. We'd trust the former ourselves, so expect to find this one available from this time next week.
Worth a go considering the price point? Let us know if you'll be trying this one out next week with a comment below.

Didnt really explain much in the advert, do you have to take a certain number of movements? Or what makes it tricky?
@Bunkerneath well you have limited dots that you all have to cover and a bunch of lines to connect. At later levels they will be able to make this tricky as lines can't overlap.
ill buy that for a dollar lol
There are many games similar to this on mobile platforms, but that doesn't make this any worse I guess. A solid concept for a puzzle game that can actually be somewhat addicting.
I will wait till it's on discount, seems a bit too expensive for me
@Cissero
That sounds like a mundane Professor Layton puzzle.
@Kit Hilarious, friend!
I just started playing Piczle, a puzzle game that this reminds me of. After playing other games with crazy boss fights or intense fast racing games, this looks like a chill game to end a session with.
I will pick this up and check it out.
@RupeeClock good point, i remember some of those puzzles.
lloks like you have to connect colour to colour and use up all dots
Flow is the same game on mobile, and you get over 1000 levels for free. Not to mention all the variations you can also download for free, Flow Warps, Flow Bridges, and Flow Hexes.
I can always do with one more stylish puzzler that DOESN'T throw adds in my face every other second.
Love games like this, so I'll grab it.
Mmm not 2 b overly critical but do we really need 2b seeing games like this on a "current gen" console ?, We've seen games this 25yrs ago on pc, it's not exactly "pushing" the limits of the processor.
@Kit Same here. $0.98 was my limit on a game like this.
@Sim1 lmao just don't buy it. Not every game sets out to be a technical or visual marvel
You blow through 100 levels of this pretty fast, smells like paid dlc later. Also I don't want to use touch controls, gets my screen all smudgy...
Played a lot of games like this on iOS, but this one actually looks pretty and isn't riddled with ads. I'm in if it hits Europe!
@Bunkerneath Assuming it's the same as other types of games that look like it. You have to connect all the matching colours with paths drawn through the dots on the grid. The puzzle element is that you cannot have multiple lines on the same dot (so not lines can cross) and you have to use every single dot on the grid (so connecting the colours might be easy, but using up all the dots may require a much more complicated path).
Looks a lot like that forest game. Just without the forest.
Waiting for a physical edition!
Looks cool, might splash out a few Gold Points on this one.
to bad there are games already like this on phones for free.
@Fazermint lol r u also OCD with your screen ?,
@Fazermint Exactly, it just starts to get a bit much after a while, I love Nintendo but sometimes u have 2 laugh at some of the games.
