Broken Lines is a puzzle game with infinite, algorithmically generated levels. The object is to unscramble the tiles so that the lines connect into closed rectangles. The levels get progressively more difficult and difficulty can be increased by skipping levels. There is always at least one possible solution for a level, but usually there are many. In situations where the player becomes stumped, there are options to either peek at a possible solution for 1 second or restart the level partially solved. The player spends a "peek" to use either of the previously mentioned assists, and a new peek is earned for every level completed without assistance. When stumped on a difficult level with no peeks left, the player can replay an easier level to earn another peek or opt to generate a new puzzle on the existing level.

The goal of this game is to provide challenging puzzles that never get old. Because the levels are algorithmically generated, they are never the same twice, even when replaying a prior level. If a player is getting stumped at difficult levels, they can still have an enjoyable playing experience on prior levels. I very talented player can continue through the levels as long as they're able, because the levels are infinite. While the algorithmic puzzles do provide a degree of randomness, the ability to reach high levels is largely based on skill rather than luck. This game is targeted at players that enjoy a challenge.
