Slant – Draw a Maze of Slanting Lines – Puzzle Game
Slant
In Slant, you are presented with a grid of squares. Your aim is to draw a diagonal line through each square, and choose which way each line slants so that the following conditions are met:
- The diagonal lines never form a loop.
- Any point with a circled number has precisely that many lines meeting at it. (So, a 4 is the centre of a cross shape, whereas a zero is the centre of a diamond shape – or rather, a partial diamond shape, because a zero can never appear in the middle of the grid because that would immediately cause a loop.)
