Escape Link

JulGames says almost nothing about this one, and pretending otherwise would not help anybody: the developer’s notes list the gameplay and a score system, then stop. The rules behind it are laid out in What Is Onet Mahjong.

What is verifiable is the shape of the build. Escape Link runs at 960 by 600, wider than the square boards most connect games use, and there is no touch layout, so a mouse or trackpad is the only way in. The presence of a score system means runs are comparable — a board is not simply cleared or failed but rated, which gives a reason to replay one you have already finished. Reading the edges first works in 3 Lines too.

Anything past that is better discovered on the board than read here. A single run tells you the linking rule, the layout and how the points accumulate, and it takes a couple of minutes. A path with at most two corners clears pairs in the Fruits Connect Float board as well.

1. Open the board and let the layout load at its full 960 by 600 size.
2. Link tiles as the board allows, using a mouse since there is no touch layout.
3. Watch the score system, which rates the run rather than simply passing or failing it.
4. Replay a cleared board to push the points total higher.

• Play once to learn it — JulGames publishes almost no detail on Escape Link, so the board is the documentation.
• Desktop only — there is no touch build, so a mouse or trackpad is required.
• Score, not just clear — the listed score system makes a finished board worth repeating.
• Use the width — at 960 by 600 the layout is broader than most connect boards, so scan sideways.
