SPECTRALOOPS is a fast, tactile arcade puzzle where every block obeys physics and every loop can save your run. Blocks tumble, collide and stack toward the danger line. Draw a lasso around blocks of one colour to clear them, score points and keep the board under control. Capture larger groups, build your multiplier and turn every clean loop into a bigger moment. Reach ×10 to unlock the Spectrum Block — a rare, high-energy wildcard that blasts nearby blocks of every colour and gives you room to recover. Trigger ten Spectrum Blasts to charge the Spectrum Megablast. When the meter fills, a chain reaction sweeps the arena from top to bottom and clears the entire board. FEATURES - Draw freely with an intuitive one-touch lasso - Capture one colour at a time - Build score multipliers up to ×10 - Unleash the Spectrum Blast - Charge a full-board Spectrum Megablast - Master dynamic, physics-driven block piles - Feel captures through responsive haptics and punchy sound - Chase your personal best and the global leaderboard - Share your best scores with friends Easy to understand. Hard to master. Every round becomes a new balancing act between patience, precision and the perfect loop. How long can you keep the spectrum from reaching the danger line?
