Picture Beads

Can you see the whole picture before the board does? Picture Beads is a relaxing picture puzzle. Every level lays puzzle pieces out like beads on a board — trace a line through the ones that belong together, and watch each picture snap back into its frame, one trace at a time. Several pictures hide on every board, and each level keeps to a single theme, so the pieces always belong together. Slide your finger across neighbouring tiles — up, down, sideways or diagonally — to string every piece of one picture into a single trace. Collect it, and its tiles open up: empty slots become bridges your next trace can cross, and the board slowly turns from a wall into a road. Deeper in, the boards learn new tricks. Some tiles are stacked like little decks — collect the piece on top to uncover what’s hidden beneath. Some pictures wait behind a lock and open only in order. The pictures share colours and moods on purpose, so a sharp eye and a moment of planning beat a fast finger every time. No timers. No lives. No fail state at all — however you play, a way to finish the board always remains. When a level goes quiet on you, the lightbulb uncovers the next steps of a real route, never a spoiler of the whole thing. ✦ HOW IT PLAYS - Every level is one theme — the pictures always belong together - Swipe across neighbouring tiles, straight or diagonally - Gather every piece of a picture in one trace to send it home - Cleared tiles open the board — later traces can cross the gaps - Stacked tiles hide pieces underneath; locked pictures open in order ✦ WHAT YOU GET - A long main journey of handcrafted levels, with new ones added regularly - Boards that grow from gentle first steps to layered, locked, HARD puzzles - A hint that lights the next pieces of a real route, three at a time - Coins you earn by playing, spent on hints when a board goes silent - Clean, calm interface: soft tiles, gentle sounds, nothing flashing ✦ WHO IT’S FOR - Jigsaw and picture puzzle players - Tile-matching fans who want something gentler - Anyone building observation, planning and focus without a timer - Adults looking for ten calm minutes after work or before bed - People who’d rather finish a picture than climb a leaderboard Trace the tiles.
