Steal the gems. Reach the exit. And when one run isn’t enough, loop it. Loop Looters is a fast, one-thumb puzzle heist where your previous runs become echoes that replay every move. Use them to hold switches, open paths, distract danger and help your next attempt reach the vault exit before time runs out. PLAN THE PERFECT HEIST Learn each vault, record a run, then use your echo to solve what you couldn’t do alone. Every move matters. 250 VAULTS TO CRACK Work your way through 10 museum wings packed with escalating challenges, boss vaults and new mechanics. DODGE THE SECURITY Beat laser grids, guards, patrols, pressure plates, one-way gates, timed doors, keys, teleporters, cameras and EMP puzzles. CHASE THREE STARS Finish quickly and efficiently, replay cleared vaults and improve your score. DAILY HEIST Take on the same special vault as everyone else once per day and build your streak. LOOT, UNLOCK, CUSTOMIZE Collect gems, unlock looter skins, echo trails and vault styles, and complete achievements along the way. Designed for quick sessions with simple swipe or directional controls, satisfying sound and haptic feedback.
