An ok puzzle game, just why is this literal web browser (hit F12 in the game, you'll see what I mean) game $5?
Also it likes to softlock when the puzzle is solved, and can sometimes not be fixed by reloading the game.

Clever games curator review: 7.5/10. A connect-all-the-paths puzzler vaguely reminiscent of Pipe Dream, but secretly it’s a jigsaw puzzle. Difficulty is one step above casual.
You play by swapping pairs of tiles, until all of the paths are connected with no breaks. There are rules about how one path can split in two that are intuitive and add a little bit of extra complication. Sometimes, but not always, there are a few tiles that are already locked into their final locations, giving you somewhere to start. Unlike Pipe Dream or some jigsaw games, there’s no rotation, just swapping segments. There is only one solution to every puzzle.
Difficulty is one step above casual. There’s no step counter or timer; you play at your own pace. I found that I solved most levels in two or three minutes. Sometimes you have to consider the implications of your placements, and sometimes you can just work at making more and more of the segments connect properly, until you have figured out the overall organization. Thus the game is fairly relaxing, and a good way to chill out. Furthering this, the soundtrack is very ambient and fades into the background. Almost bland, but mostly just pleasant. It's the first game in a 3-game series; the other games look very similar, but this one seems a bit harder than the later games, which seem to require less thinking ahead.
I am pleased to report that the game worked perfectly on touch screens. It’s also fine with a mouse, or trackpad. Unsurprisingly, the game is not very demanding in terms of specs and should play fine on any laptop without any overheating issues.
My high rating assumes that you are looking for a casual, not overly challenging puzzler. People that need challenges like Baba is You or The Witness will not agree with my rating. However, it is important to note that it’s not at all one of those games that’s so easy that you just do the next obvious step over and over again until everything is done. Personally I really enjoy having a puzzle game of this type in my library to play when I feel like taking a break (even though I also enjoy Baba is You and The Witness at times).
