About

Spool Out

Features
Read full description

Threads are tangled. Spools are waiting. Tap them in the right order to wind everything back up clean. It starts simple — a few threads, a few spools, no sweat. But the tangles get trickier, the overlaps pile up, and suddenly you're staring at the screen trying to figure out which spool goes first. One tap. One thread at a time. Get the order wrong and you're stuck. FEATURES · One-tap gameplay — easy to learn, hard to master · A lot of increasingly tricky levels · Satisfying thread-winding animations · Clean, minimal design Simple rules. Real challenge. Good luck.
