    one line wants you to draw exactly one line on 50 levels to remove every tile. seen it a million times, but there are a few extra mechanics at play here. arrows that only let you through a tile in one direction, locked tiles to open by picking up keys, portals because you can't have a puzzler without them, and multi-color levels where you have to clear all tiles of one color before moving on to another area. mouse and keyboard both work, arrows/wasd for the latter and don't even have to hold…

    I'm torn about this game. Steam is full of really uninteresting line-drawing games, and One Line stands out among those with decent puzzles and some reasonably original mechanics. Puzzle solutions are not unique, but I don't mind that as much when the mechanics feature such strong puzzle constraints. However, my actual experience of solving puzzles here was quite lousy, because the controls and UI are so ill-suited for the gameplay. The way you'd solve paper puzzles of this type, would be to…

    He also makes such a good comment on revenge with ONE LINE (and he represents the subject of Revenge REALLY WELL THE ENTIRE GAME) "you think one day the hate will replace the pain, but in the end, it never goes away" AND ITS LIKE, FUCK

    uninventive, and has very awkward clunky controls, particularly when going in and out of teleportals

    Full playthrough here: https://youtu.be/4wguGL3RuiA This is definitely a dope minimalist puzzle game I got it for free, but it's definitely worth .99 cents if your into brain teasers. Some of the puzzles are insanely difficult looking at you level 47 and some of them are pretty casual the creators do a great job of maximizing the mechanics allowed by the game and it feels rewarding when you finally reached the end plus there's achievements.

    TLDR A simple, short, and abstract line-drawing puzzle game with no innovative mechanics and average level design. [10/20⭐, 1.5h🏅, 2/5💡] Context One Line is a minimalistic puzzle game where you draw a continuous line with the goal of covering all tiles. Some tiles add constraints, but overall, there’s nothing particularly novel or engaging. But at least it's extremely cheap. Writing Does not apply, it is entirely abstract with no narrative elements. Aesthetics The visuals are as barebones…

    This game is all about drawing a line through a grid while following arrows and using portals. The concept is simple, but some levels can be surprisingly tricky. I found myself playing in short bursts—solving a few levels, getting stuck, then coming back later with fresh eyes. No level felt impossible, but some required stepping away and rethinking my approach. For the price, it's a decent way to spend an hour or two. If you enjoy puzzle games that test your logic and patience, it's worth…

    It is a classic puzzle game with 50 levels of minimalistic graphics and relaxing sound. Good for some brain distraction, but nothing standing out.

    A basic puzzle game in which each level has to be completely filled out with a single contiguous line. The game also introduces new mechanics every few levels which add some twists to that basic idea (e.g., fields that have to be passed through in specific directions, or portals that connect non-adjacent fields). For most of the levels I had to take a screenshot of the level which I then scribbled over in an image editing program: first figuring out the pieces of the line that were logically…

    One of the best single Euros I have spent in a while. "Minimalistic" fits the gameplay and presentation quite nicely, but doesn't mean the riddles are no-brainers. Easy recommendation.

    Very short but fun line-puzzle game where you have to fill in the entire grid with a continuous line. It’s a simple concept and this game takes it a bit further with adding restrictions like portals and locks, so you can’t just fully fill it in but have to “plan” your route. There were some really tricky almost impossible levels here and there but overall, very doable. The playtime is relatively short with “only” 50 levels, but it costs at most a Euro and it can go on sale for up to 51% off, I…

    Simple puzzle game that has you drawing a line so that every tile has been filled in without any overlap. It has a bunch of fun mechanics like arrows that force you to move in a specific direction as well as different coloured tiles that force you to finish one colour before moving onto the next. There are 50 levels, each with a variety of solutions. It's a great way to kill some time and is definitely worth the price!

    Nice game. The puzzles are pretty self explanatory, but the game regularly adds new twists to prevent things from getting dull. The game is quite short, but the length feels adequate.

    Worth the few cents; one "problem" I found is that the line sometimes lags behind where you want to draw it, but that could be intentional. I suppose it just prevents one from zooming through the easy levels, of which the majority are.

    The first time I saw this game, I liked it, so my boyfriend bought it as a gift. I enjoy it. The concept is so good, especially when the type changes. The game is not repeated, but I wish it had more types and would keep running.

    Draw a line through the grid. Follow the arrows, use the portals. It's a simple puzzle game, but some of the levels are tricky. This is a game that I took a while to get through. I'd load it up, get through a few levels, hit one that stumped me and then close it down. A few weeks or months later, I'd load it up again, finish the level, and then get stuck again a few levels further. None of them are impossible, but sometimes I needed to walk away for a while to lose a preconception of how I…

    Simple concept with nice progression although, as others have noted, level 47 (of 50) is the most challenging by a fair degree; puzzles get complemented by special squares that restrict (or open up) your possibilities thus making you plan your line-route more thoughtfully. UI and effects are simple but polished, with a nice animation for completing a puzzle and starting the next; controls are simple and easy: toggle on/off the tracing with LeftClick, cut back to any previous point of the line…

    Simple and fun. One Line brings the idea of ​​using a single line to fill all the blocks. Particularly I loved the idea of ​​the game and the way it was put together, as it has a very well done and intuitive progression which gave me a feeling of challenge, but also managed to give me a feeling of satisfaction!
