PANKO'S PUZZLE GARDEN
Color Link Garden
Connect every matching seed without crossing paths. Fill the whole garden to bloom.
Color Link Garden
Color Link Garden is an original 30-stage full-board route puzzle starring a red panda garden keeper. Connect each pair of matching flower seeds without crossing paths, then fill every cell so the complete garden can bloom.
World and Mission
Panko tends a garden whose colored flower routes have faded. Each stage restores one garden bed by reconnecting every matching seed.
The campaign grows from compact 5 by 5 beds with four colors to 7 by 7 beds with six colors. Every authored layout has a verified full-board solution.
How the Systems Work
A route may begin at either endpoint and move only up, down, left, or right. Paths cannot cross, share a cell, enter another color's seed, or pass through themselves.
Undo removes the latest completed path, Hint commits one safe unresolved route, and Reset restores the current garden without affecting saved unlocks.
Touch, mouse, and keyboard use the same state. Keyboard players select a seed with Enter or Space and extend the route with Arrow keys.
Completion requires every pair to be connected and every board cell to be filled. Finishing a garden unlocks the next stage in this browser.
How to Play
- Choose an unlocked garden from the horizontal Stage rail.
- Drag from one flower seed to the matching seed.
- Keep routes separate and use every board cell.
- Use Undo, Hint, or Reset when a path blocks another color.
- Complete all pairs to unlock the next garden.
Strategy Tips
- Check edge seeds and narrow corridors first.
- Leave room for long routes before closing short pairs.
- Backtrack early when a route blocks the center.
- Use Hint to study one safe route rather than guessing repeatedly.
Campaign and Difficulty Growth
Gardens 1-10 use 5 by 5 boards and four colors.
Gardens 11-20 expand to 6 by 6 boards and five colors.
Gardens 21-30 use 7 by 7 boards and six colors in the densest route plans.
Developer Design Note
The challenge comes from spatial planning rather than a timer, lives, or hidden information. Thirty deterministic solutions keep every puzzle reproducible, while one responsive Canvas preserves the same board state across phone, tablet, short landscape, and desktop.

- No. Hint commits one safe unresolved route and does not spend currency.
