I loved this. Something about stretching this puzzle concept onto a 3D shape makes it so much more challenging and engaging spatially. Could totally see myself putting on some music and zoning out with one of the weirder shapes. (The vapor-adjacent visual style is wonderful, too.)

Any bugs I ran into had to do with the visuals scaling up to fullscreen but not the controls--stuck with windowed mode and it worked like a charm. Three tiny gameplay things: (1) Right-click to x-out would clear up left-click to toggle the line. (2) I'd have preferred that the user x-outs be visually distinct from the preset ones. (3) I would have liked to see the solution when I gave up.

Great work!

It defiantly looks amazing, but I really don't understand how I am suppose to play it.

I like how you expanded Slitherlink to 3D surfaces - I suppose the hints where represented by pictures so they can make sense regardless of the puzzle orientation, it's a nice touch.

I wish there was some say to zoom in and out, otherwise some shapes are too hard to nagivate (torus, suzanne). Also, I would be nice to have some music, or at least some sound effects.
