PathFinder

The pitch

PathFinder is an engaging 2D puzzle game where players dig tunnels to guide colored balls to fit into pipes beneath the surface. Each level presents unique challenges, including obstacles like metal blocks and thorns that require strategic thinking to navigate. As you progress through the 30 levels, the puzzles become increasingly complex, demanding careful planning and problem-solving skills. For every casual gamer or a puzzle fan, PathFinder will provide hours of entertaining gameplay.

Controls & how it runs

The game is accessible on various devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and computers, offering intuitive controls—simply touch or click to dig path

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a portrait (upright) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

PathFinder — quick-fire questions

Does PathFinder cost anything to play?

Not a token. The cabinet is free from the first run to the five-hundredth — no wallet, no sign-up, no toll booth hiding three levels in. The adverts around the page are what keep the floor's lights on.

What sort of game is PathFinder?

It stands on our Brain row — that's the family it plays most like. The pitch above is the publisher's own rundown of what it throws at you and what it hands back.

Can I play PathFinder on my phone?

Happily, yes. It runs inside the browser on phones and tablets the same way it does on a computer. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. PathFinder is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
