About

Looplight

Read full description

Hold the left or right side of the screen to curl. Let go to fly straight. Close a loop around the gold to catch everything inside it. That's Looplight: a one-finger arcade game that takes seconds to learn and a long time to put down. LOOP THE GOLD Draw a loop around a cluster of gold and catch it all at once. The more gold in one loop, the bigger the score: doubles, triples, all the way up to eight in a single loop. NEVER TOUCH RED Gold doesn't wait forever. Leave it too long and it turns into a red thorn. Weave between the thorns, or loop them to clear the way. 40 HANDCRAFTED STAGES Four worlds, Dawn, Dusk, Night and Aurora, each with its own goals: catch streaks, giant loops, thorn harvests, nova chains and survival runs. Clear a stage to unlock the next one and earn up to three stars. ENDLESS AND DAILY Play Endless to beat your best score, or take on the Daily run: a new run every day that is the same for every player in the world. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Finish a run and share a challenge code. Your friends play your exact run, with the same gold at the same moments, and try to beat your score. PLAY YOUR WAY Choose how you steer: follow the screen, touch to steer with one finger, or classic. Swap sides for left-handed play, pick a Relaxed difficulty and choose your trail colour. GAME CENTER Compare your best scores with friends and players around the world on Game Center leaderboards. MADE TO FEEL GOOD Crisp haptics, punchy sound effects and smooth play on iPhone and iPad. Pause anytime; the game also pauses when you leave it. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. One finger and one more run.
