🎮 Beeline🎮

One path, every flower, no turning back. Can you find the perfect loop home?

📝 Introduction

This was yet another experiment of trying to build using AI. To challenge myself, I wanted to come up with a new game idea entirely from scratch. A great way to do it, I feel, is by using prompts. Since itch.io is a great site for game jams and inspirations, I used the prompt "LOOP" from the GMTK 2025 Game Jam.

Using these constraints, I tried creating a new game that is my interpretation of the theme of the jam. The result is Beeline—a simple logic puzzle based on Eulerian circuits. You must find a continuous path that visits every connection exactly once, starting and ending at your home hive.

🕹️ Controls

  • Move: Tap or click on an adjacent flower node.
  • Rewind: Click the "Rewind" button (costs coins) to reverse a mistake.

✨ Features

  • Pathfinding Puzzles: Solve levels by finding a continuous loop through all edges without retracing your steps.
  • Dynamic Progression: 15 fixed levels followed by an infinite randomized loop of increasing complexity.
  • Economy & Powerups: Earn coins by completing levels and spend them to rewind moves if you get stuck.
  • Timer Challenge: Race against the clock—with difficulty-based timers pushing you to think fast.
  • Custom Level Editor: To make level design easy and scalable, I built a separate standalone editor to quickly create and test new puzzle layouts.

📜 Rules / How to Play

  • Start at the Hive: Your journey always begins at the main hive node.
  • Trace Every Path: Move to adjacent connected flowers to traverse the paths.
  • No Retracing: You cannot cross a dotted line that you've already filled.
  • Complete the Circuit: You must visit every single edge exactly once and end your path back at the Hive.
  • Don't Get Stuck: If you run out of valid moves or the timer expires, you'll have to restart the level!
