Editor review
Grid Weave is a textile-weaving puzzle-arcade where you cross coloured threads through a grid to match target patterns. Thirty-six patterns across three tiers.
What works is the over-under visualisation. Thread crossings render with appropriate over-under shadow. Players can see which threads are on top.
Thirty-six patterns with progressive thread-count.
Tested over three Dublin cafe sessions. Touch drag is the natural input.
Where the design earns its rating is the pattern variety. Each target is a distinct woven design rather than algorithmic variants.
Where I would push back is the absence of a free-weave mode. Players who want to design their own patterns have no option.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid weave-pattern arcade.
