Clear The Path

Clear The Path challenges your foresight and planning. Each stage is a compact grid filled with blocks and barriers. Your goal is simple: give your character a clear path from the start to the exit. The catch is you can only remove a limited number of pieces, so every choice matters. The game shines in its minimalist design and escalating complexity. Early levels teach you the basics, but soon you'll face layouts that require careful sequencing and spatial reasoning. There's no time pressure, so you can experiment freely. The joy comes from that 'aha!' moment when you spot the optimal move pattern.

What is Clear The Path

Ready to test your problem-solving skills? In Clear The Path, guide your character to safety by removing just the right obstacles.

How to Play

Tap or click on a block to remove it from the board. Your character will automatically walk along the cleared path when the route is open; reach the exit to complete the level.

Tips for Playing

  • Scan the entire board before making any moves to spot potential dead ends.
  • Always count the number of removable blocks allowed; plan removals that open multiple areas.
  • Think in reverse: start from the exit and trace the path back to the start.
  • Don't remove blocks that aren't directly in the main route unless they reveal a shortcut.
  • If you get stuck, restart the level and try a different approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove all blocks to win?

No, only the blocks that obstruct the path to the exit. Removing extras is often unnecessary and can waste your limited moves.

Yes, the game is designed for both desktop and mobile browsers with touch support.

Is there a time limit for each level?

No, there is no timer. You can take as long as you like to figure out the solution.

How many levels are there?

The game includes a large number of levels, with increasing difficulty as you progress.

What happens if I get stuck on a level?

You can restart the level at any time and try a different strategy. There is no penalty for retrying.
