Glow Link
Trace glowing cables between matching lights — without ever letting two of them cross.
Glow Link is a calm, colorful connect-the-dots puzzle: touch a light, drag to its twin, and watch the board fill with clean neon lines. Simple to learn in the first ten seconds, with plenty of room to get clever once obstacles, portals, and ice show up.
75 puzzles across 4 chapters
- Chapter 1 — Learning (10 levels): one new idea at a time, hand-crafted.
- Chapter 2 — Rhythm (20 levels): 6×6 and 7×7 boards, light obstacles.
- Chapter 3 — Mastery (30 levels): 7×7 and 8×8 boards, denser layouts.
- Chapter 4 — Expert relax mode (15 levels): 8×8 and 9×9 boards, six pairs, no shortcuts.
Mechanics that build up gradually
- 🔒 Locked cells that open once a specific pair is connected
- 🌀 Teleporters that continue your cable from a linked portal elsewhere on the board
- ❄️ Ice that cracks on the first crossing and melts on the second
- ✨ Bonus cells and ⭐ collectibles that pay out points mid-puzzle
Points, not just stars
Stars unlock chapters and board themes. Points are a separate, spendable wallet — earn them by finishing levels (or replaying old ones when you're low), then spend them on hints, instant ice-melts, skipping ahead to a level you haven't reached yet, or cosmetic cable styles and victory effects in the shop. Play fair and the wallet keeps growing on its own.
Built to be comfortable
- Colorblind mode adds a distinct shape to every light, not just a color
- Kid mode gives unlimited hints and guaranteed 3 stars
- A "reduce motion" toggle for softer effects
- Four unlockable board themes (Neon soft tech, Candy glow, Futuristic toy lab, Crystal circuit)
- Generative ambient music and procedural sound effects, each toggled independently
Controls
Drag from one light to its twin. Dragged the wrong way? Drag back over a cell you already placed to shorten the cable on the spot — no need to restart. Double-tap a light to clear its connection, double-tap an ice cell to melt it instantly. Undo, Restart, and a cost-scaling Hint button are always one tap away. Mouse players get an extra click-then-follow mode.
No account, no install, no ads. Your progress saves automatically in the browser. Play a level on your lunch break or chase all 75 — Glow Link is built for both.

Great satisfying game!
The game is really good. I love how brain teasing it is. I do need advice on how to solve level 14 though. And also, I suggest that you add background music to listen to while the game is being played.
Thank you so much for this — our very first comment, and such a nice one! Really glad the puzzles are landing.
For Level 14: the pink pair sits right on either side of one ice tile, so just drag straight across it — the first touch cracks the ice, and pushing through melts it. Yellow is a clean straight line down the right side of the board. Teal is the tricky one: from its top light, go left, then down, then left again through the other ice tile, then down twice (you'll pick up a sparkle bonus along the way), then right into the bottom teal light.
And good news on the music — there's actually already a background ambient track built in! It's off by default, but you can switch it on any time from the ⚙️ Settings menu. Thanks for flagging it though, that tells us it's too easy to miss, so we'll look at making it more obvious.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write in — enjoy the rest of the chapters!
