Crossing Chains is the spiritual successor to Cardinal Chains. Once again you must fill the whole grid by forming chains starting from the root cells.

This time, the chains can cross each other... but only if their lengths match at the crossing point. The challenge is that the crossing points are not revealed beforehand! Other mechanics coexist and are gently introduced over several levels. The full game features:

  • 75 handmade levels, from easy to fiendish

  • Daily & Random puzzles for endless play

  • Unlimited hint system that reveals one move at a time, so you can tune the challenge to your liking

  • Smooth chillhop soundtrack by professional artists

You can add it to your wishlist or play the 16 level demo right now!

The full version becomes available on December 12, 2025.

Have fun, and thank you for the many plays, comments and support over the years!
