PECTRALOOPS is a neon physics puzzle where one well-drawn loop can turn the whole round around. Draw a lasso around blocks of one colour. Capture them, keep the pile under control and make room before it reaches the danger line. TWO WAYS TO PLAY CLASSIC Chase your highest score as the pace builds. Keep your combo alive, climb to x10 and find the right moment to unleash the spectrum. FLOW Play at a steadier pace with no score to chase. Complete 10 goals in order, from colour captures and bigger clears to a full Spectrum Megablast finale. The timer tracks your active play: finish every goal and compete for the fastest time. TURN PRESSURE INTO POWER Capture a Spectrum Block alongside other blocks to blast through nearby pieces of every colour. Charge ten Spectrum Blasts and unleash the Spectrum Megablast: a chain reaction that sweeps from top to bottom and clears the entire board. FIND YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE Unlock 15 Game Center achievements, including 5 new Flow challenges. Complete your first Flow run, master repeated finishes or take on Timebreaker by clearing all 10 goals in two minutes or less.
