About

Mask Loop

Features
Read full description

Mask Loop is a simple loop-push puzzle game. Push a row, column, or diagonal line from the edge of the shelf. The masks wrap around, then matching masks clear. The rules are easy to understand: - Push a line. - Make 3 or more matching masks. - Clear the board. - Avoid a push that clears nothing. Frozen masks add pressure as the run continues. They do not match while frozen, but clearing nearby masks can thaw them and open the board again. There are no complicated items or long tutorials. Mask Loop is designed as a quick, focused puzzle game where each move matters. Features: - 5 x 5 loop-push puzzle board - Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal matches - Frozen masks that thaw through clears - Short runs with simple rules - Optional rewarded hint - Best score challenge Push carefully. One empty move can end the run.
