LOOPICAL LITE FEATURES ---3 Chapters - 27 puzzles ---A LOOPical photo and quote for each chapter ---Graduated difficulty ---Check your progress at any point in the game ---Optional sound effects and music SIMPLE RULES - COMPLEX PUZZLES ---Draw a closed LOOP that goes through EVERY empty square on the board once and only once. ---Some squares hold shiny black or white blocks. These squares are - blocked. The loop does not go there. ---Some squares contain clues that restrict the way you can go: +Yellow = go this way. +Red = go straight. +Blue = must turn. TIPS ---You don't have to draw the whole loop at once. Draw pieces of the loop, places where you know it must go, and then connect the pieces. ---Take a wrong turn? No problem.

Arrow Escape's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 20 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
